Sinopsis

Alexandra knows what it feels like to get a call from your doctor saying, “you have Herpes;” and how to manage the physical, mental, and emotional rollercoaster ride that comes with a diagnosis. When you’re first diagnosed with an STD, it’s important to immediately educate yourself on what herpes is and what the misconceptions are. Herpes is a virus that the majority of the population has and outbreaks happen when you’re stressed or your immune system is stressed.
