HSV1 vs HSV2 – What’s the Difference Between Oral and Genital Herpes – STD Podcast

Fri, 17 May 2019 14:55:19 +0000

And we’re back (again)!!! After the holidays and a long-distance move, the STD Podcast is back up and running!!! Same great content, just a little different scenery – I’m still organizing my office and video motif, but overall, I couldn’t be more pleased, because The STI Project is now in Asheville, NC!!! We’re global, actually, but our office is in the mountains with a scenic and quintessential backdrop to boot. Zero complaints here, and that puts me in a perfect way to continue this advocacy work – everyone wins!

To kick off our new series, we’re talking about HSV1 vs HSV2, or the difference between oral herpes and genital herpes.

This podcast is being sponsored by Anti-Aging Systems. Since 1991, they have been producing articles, magazines, and conferences to promote and educate the population on how to maintain optimal health as they age. They also provide information on where to safely purchase hard to obtain medicines, nutritional supplements, and bio identical hormones, like BHT.

BHT is a potent antioxidant and common food preservative that is also known to treat viruses including herpes. It is believed to work against the virus by potentially damaging the protective layer of the viral cell, in turn making the virus vulnerable to the immune system, which may result in preventing the virus from multiplying and causing outbreaks.

If you want to give BHT a try, head over to Anti-Aging Systems and enter code STD at the checkout to a receive 10% discount.

Today’s Podcast

Today’s podcast runs about 17 minutes in length, and we’re talking about why some folks think there’s a good herpes and a bad herpes, what the differences are between HSV1 and HSV2 (if any), and whether or not we should distinguish between oral herpes and genital herpes.

Readers, listeners, and viewers have been pouring in questions, and we are here for it! Today, we had the pleasure of answering one of your anonymous questions from Tumblr about herpes transmission risk!

Anon asks: “I just found out I was exposed to HSV2 about three months ago. I just started a new relationship a week ago and am terrified that I might have it and passed it on to my new girlfriend. We have had unprotected sex one time. What are the odds of her getting it?”

Herpes Diagnosis – Just Diagnosed with Herpes? It’s Ok – STD Podcast

Wed, 05 Sep 2018 16:24:23 +0000

Anonymous asks about a herpes diagnosis:

“Jenelle, how does someone accept having an incurable infection like this? It has been about a month since I have known, and I have been nothing but depressed. I have barely been able to get out of bed most days, and I have quiet often thought about suicide.

I just want my old life back. I feel like I can’t tell anyone about this, and I don’t know how I will be able to find someone who is accepting of this condition. I always assumed I would get married and have kids, and this just puts such a roadblock in front of all of that, and I am worried I will never have another relationship or sex ever again.

I am going through my second outbreak, and I am just concerned I will always have this reoccur, though I have read some people stop getting outbreaks after a while. I just want to go back to enjoying life how I was, but I am not sure how to get there. I feel like I had my life setup so well to be pretty happy and carefree, and I ruined it by making one stupid decision.”

HPV Statistics – Why Everyone Has Had an STD (HPV) – STD Podcast

Wed, 29 Aug 2018 21:58:10 +0000

Before you get your undies in a wad, we know that everyone hasn’t had an STD, but because the vast majority of all sexually active people have, we feel like it might as well be everyone.

That’s what we’re talking about today – why the majority of all sexually active people will have HPV at some point in their lives. And since that’s only one of 30+ STIs or STDs, it’s highly likely that most everyone you know will have an STD. So, you’re not alone with your STI, if you have one now or if you have a long-term infection. It’s just that no one talks about it, so you feel alone.

Herpes No Condom – On Sex without Condoms- STD Podcast

Thu, 02 Aug 2018 00:52:28 +0000

Welcome back to The STI Project’s STD Podcast! Do you remember our podcast from a few years ago? Probably not. I don’t really either. It’s been a long time. So let’s start again by talking about Herpes No Condom or Sex without a Condom…

Are you excited? We are.

This is a question we receive all of the time. Literally, all of the time. And I get it. You’re worried now that you have a long-term STI that you have to wear condoms for the rest of your life. That’s such a miserable idea – not condoms – but that once you contract an infection, which is pretty much inevitable anyways, you have to be sequestered to a certain type of protected sex forever and ever amen. Well, let us be the first to tell you, that’s not necessarily necessary.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting…a Podcast

Today’s Podcast

Today’s podcast runs about 12 minutes in length, and we’re talking about herpes no condoms or sex without condoms, whether or not you have herpes or another type of sexually transmitted infection and disease. Wondering if you have to wear condoms for the rest of your life? That idea is not horrible, in and of itself, but we clarify, rather quickly, that that’s not actually necessary if you have an STD.

You’re welcome.

Safer Sex Myths – STD Prevention – Happy Hump Day Podcasts

Thu, 11 Jul 2013 01:53:02 +0000

It’s STD Awareness Month – Every Month!

Well, not really, but we think it should be!

During STD Awareness Month, this past April, we began doing research on all of the myths surrounding STDs. What we originally thought would last through the month has blossomed into a much larger series, because there were so many misconceptions out there, we didn’t want to exclude any of them.

As such, we’ve decided to continue our myth busting series, even though it’s no longer STD Awareness Month ‘officially’. We’ve dubbed it: ‘So True, So False!’, because we think we’re as cool as E!, of course, and, because promoting awareness, education, and acceptance doesn’t always have to be super-serious.

Really, though, these myths often perpetuate big problems: they keep people from getting tested, talking to partners, practicing safer sex, and all around being conscientious about their sexual health. So, this is kinda serious stuff too!

Today, we’re tackling a handful of myths – podcast style. Lucky you.

Talking About STDs – ‘PC’ Vocabulary? Happy Hump Day Podcasts

Thu, 27 Jun 2013 01:11:37 +0000

Spicy is how we like it, and today’s podcast is certainly muy caliente! – and/or a little questionable. I have to admit, though, we enjoy pushing the envelope a tad. So, take a listen, tell us what you think and how our message has impacted the way you talk about STDs.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting…a Podcast

In an effort to cater to short attention spans (mainly, my own), we keep these podcasts between 5 and 15 minutes in length. When we have guests on the show, sometimes they’re a little bit longer, but we know you’re busy. Consequently, we promise to always do our very best to be as concise as possible.

How can you change the way you talk about STDs?

Add ‘people with STDs’ to your mental list of groups facing social ostracism.
Pay attention to language like saying someone who has a negative STD test is clean or a person with an STD is tainted.
Pay attention to metaphors like leper, monster, or damaged-goods and stop using them.
Pay attention to stereotypes. Correct people when they try to say that being a slut, whore, or cheater means you probably have an STI/STD.
Tell your story – let others know they are not alone, people with STDs come from all walks of life, and STDs do not define one’s character and are not indicative of one’s worth.

Next time, I’ll be talking about STD myths, some of the funniest misconceptions I hear most often, and why they spread, despite our best educational efforts. Stay tuned!

Hiya, folks! We’ve got an interesting podcast in store for you today – I think it’s bound to inspire, and it further outlines the foundation of The STI Project and why we talk about STDs all of the time – out loud! See what you think…

What’s the Big Deal with STDs Anyway? Happy Hump Day Podcasts

Happy Hump Day, readers!!! It seems this Wednesday came up rather quickly. Nevertheless, today’s topic should make for some interesting conversation!

Edit: The STI Project had a bit of a technological meltdown Wednesday – hence, our publish date actually landing on a Friday (not hump day, but a jolly day of the week anyhow). Right now, it’s just me running the show, so, when something goes awry, I’m left flailing for a day or two until I can figure out the glitch. This week was definitely one of those times. Thankfully, I determined the uploading issue I was having, so, I should be set to podcast all the live long day if I like from here on!

The STI Project Interviews for WPRR Public Reality Radio

Fri, 06 Jul 2012 19:57:06 +0000

The STI Project Was Asked To Interview on a Radio Station!

Full Show which includes an interview with Senior Science Correspondent from HuffPost – Cara Santa Maria!!! (She’s lovely):

Full Length – Dave Fletcher’s opening topics, Cara Santa Maria from HuffPost Science, and The STI Project

Just my segment of the show – an hour and some change in length:

Shorter Version – The STI Project

Can you believe it?!?!! I can’t either. Albeit, I’m thankful and completely and entirely geeked for this opportunity as it means our mission is reaching a larger populace and we are further working toward eradicating the stigma!!!

YES! Go us!

On Tuesday, I went to WPRR’s studio to record an hour long interview with Reality Check host, David Fletcher. We met two weeks prior at West Michigan’s Pride Fest and he offered to have me on his show, which, of course, I accepted with enthusiasm.

This was especially exciting, because I’m personally a huge fan of public radio and the WPRR station and its programming – it’s progressive and open-minded, something not always easily found in the area I was raised. This was a welcomed delight, as you can imagine!

Surprisingly, I walked away thinking about all of the things I forgot to talk about and the interview was an entire hour long as it was…

Lately, everything coming out of my mouth is STI/STDs (how’s that for an odd mental picture!?), and Tuesday was none different.

Overall, I think the interview went swimmingly – as my own worst critic, I would kick some of my vocab out of the window, but largely, the message was consistent and was what I had hoped to convey.

WPRR – Public Reality Radio is a non-profit, listener supported radio station dedicated to providing quality educational programming to the public. In addition to locally produced shows and the best of progressive radio, WPRR showcases podcasts from around the world.

Reality Check covers a variety of topics from human rights to science and religion, from a progressive and skeptical viewpoint and is hosted by always interesting and engaging, David Fletcher.
