Herpes and Intimacy: What You Should Know

What does intimacy look like when herpes is part of the relationship? Whether you have herpes or you're thinking about dating someone who does, this episode breaks it down.

In this episode of the Herpes Wellness Podcast, Cat Dupree shares what it was like to navigate intimacy in a long-term relationship with someone who had herpes (when she didn’t), and how she approaches intimacy now with a partner who doesn’t have herpes. You’ll learn about the different protection methods available — including daily antivirals, condoms, and why barrier methods aren't always enough — plus how couples can make informed decisions together to reduce herpes transmission.

Cat also gets real about the emotional side: what it means to take responsibility for protecting your partner, without feeling responsible for their choice to be with you. Whether you're living with genital herpes (HSV2), oral herpes (HSV1), or just looking to understand more about what intimacy and herpes actually look like — this episode is packed with facts, perspective, and practical advice.
