Thanks to our most recent submission to the STI Interviews, we now have a male’s perspective about living with molluscum contagiosum. Molluscum doesn’t get a lot of attention, and the people who contract it can feel incredibly alone because of the lack of information, support groups, and stories available in print or on the internet.

The STI Project Update – News and Upcoming Events
What an exciting month it’s been! There are so many great things happening at The STI Project, I’m nearly at a loss for where to start. Not all days are glorious, and often the fight to end stigma tries my patience and understanding to the nth degree, but lately, we’ve been making such astonishing progress; […]
The STI Project in Now Magazine (UK)
For my first ever magazine interview, it turned out well. A writer approached me to do the feature and then put what we talked about in our phone conversation into a chatty type of article to appeal to Now’s audience.

I found this interview incredibly interesting as it reflects a lot of the feelings one initially experiences upon learning they have contracted an STI/STD, yet, for this person, some of those same emotions prevail even 28 years later.

Herpes – Contracting an STD Never Even Crossed My Mind – STI Interviews

Despite the large portion of positive messages I write on The STI Project, there’s no way around how one feels in the first days, months, or even years after contracting an STI/STD. As […]
