Test positive for herpes?
You’re not alone. And this isn’t the end of your sex life.
How Do I Tell Them I Have Herpes? is a short, honest book about a conversation most people dread, and almost nobody talks about openly. Not because it’s shameful. Because nobody ever showed them how.
Stacey Herrera isn’t writing from a distance. She’s HSV positive. She’s had the talk — the awkward ones, the ones that went sideways, and the ones that went better than expected. This book came out of all of them.
It covers when to say something, how to say it, what to do when the other person doesn’t respond the way you hoped, and why being upfront about your status isn’t a liability. It’s actually a pretty effective filter for finding people worth your time.
It’s a small book. It won’t take long to read. But if you’ve been sitting on this conversation, it’ll probably move you off the fence.
It's a skin condition, not a life sentence.

About the Author
Stacey Herrera
I host the Sex IRL podcast and write on Substack about sex, intimacy, and relationships for people over 40.
I started paying attention to this because I kept noticing the same thing. People who were otherwise pretty good at life fumble at the deeper stuff. Not just talking about sex, but showing up in relationships, and knowing yourself well enough to let someone else in.
Most of us never learned how, because we’ve never seen it. You can make past 40 and still be a stranger to your wants, limitations, and patterns. And that makes being with someone else a lot harder than it looks.
That’s what I write and talk about. The honest conversations about sex and intimacy that we hope someone else will start. This book is one piece of that. If it resonated, there’s more where it came from.
Find me at the Sex IRL podcast and on Substack.
