Herpes Facts and Myths - What Almost Everyone Gets Wrong

Most people think they know the truth about herpes — but so much of what’s out there is flat-out wrong. From who gets it, to how it spreads, to what living with it actually looks like, misinformation has shaped the stigma for decades.

In this episode of the Herpes Wellness Podcast, Cat Dupree breaks down the biggest herpes myths and facts so you can finally separate what’s real from what’s not. You’ll learn why herpes is far more common than people think, why most doctors don’t test for it, and how communication and education change everything.

In this episode you’ll hear:

✔️ Why herpes can stay dormant for years before showing symptoms

✔️ Why most doctors don’t automatically test for HSV-1 or HSV-2

✔️ How herpes can be passed on even without visible symptoms

✔️ Why it’s one of the most common viruses in the world

✔️ The truth about living, dating, and finding love with herpes
