"The Fungus From Down Under": Herpes isn't a big deal.

In this episode, I speak to my good friend Sam who shares about his genital herpes diagnosis. We start with his first experience with a sexual health concern, where he had to investigate a mysterious rash on his penis, and finish with a funny and light-hearted discussion about the importance of reducing stigma and how not-a-big-deal herpes is. In this episode we discuss a perceived statistic about Australia having the highest number of STIs, however this is NOT accurate according to the most recent health data. The metrics for measuring this information are much more complicated, and more information can be found here: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/std-rates-by-country.
