Partners share STDs, but when to discuss this fact is, well, stressful and confusing, but yes, tell your partner if you have a herpes infection. Your gyno can help guide you to facts.

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is one of those infections that the recommendation by experts is to share that information with current or future partne

What does it mean to have Thick Semen?

Wondering why your partner’s semen appears unusually thick? If it is anything serious? First things first, don’t panic. Many men naturally produce thick semen.

Don't be embarrassed to admit you had unprotected sex

And don't just think 'what are the chances,' although it's good to know some facts about that!

STD questions you were too afraid to ask at your last gyno appointment!
