Ali talks with Jenelle, the founder and Executive Director of the STI Project. Jenelle is a fierce advocate fighting to dismantle the stigma surrounding STIs through awareness and education.

In their conversation, they discuss Jenelle's personal journey with herpes, how to check in with those in your life with an STI diagnosis, trust and disclosure in friendships and romantic relationships, the psychology of disgust and gauging people's capacity for conversations of this nature, and the importance of sharing STI stories.
