The SPFPP Podcast: Real Stories. Real Support.
Since 2017, the Something Positive for Positive People podcast has been a free resource for anyone navigating the emotional, relational, and social impacts of a herpes diagnosis.
Through honest conversations, guests share what life really looks like after testing positive—how they date, disclose, manage shame, and build meaningful relationships. You’ll hear experiences that reflect your own or reveal new possibilities for moving forward.
What You’ll Hear:

From casual sex to long-term commitment, guests share how they communicate their status and build relationships that work for them.Stigma & Identity

Tools for navigating safer sex, honest communication, and deeper relational alignment.Alternative Relationship Styles
Insights on non-monogamy, queerness, and connecting beyond traditional relationship norms.Emotional Healing
