Testimonials
“I have been so impressed with the quality of Institute educators. We have had several different organizations come in to provide sex education to our teens over the last few years and none of them have been as skilled or engaging as yours!”
“You all are GREAT facilitators and your interactive trainings flow so well. Great movement at the right times, engaging conversation, and ALL AROUND fantastic sex ed. training. Thank you!”
“Institute educators use a combination of stories, factual information, and humor to present their sex ed. material. Rather than lecture to the students, they involve them in engaging activities.”
“Every time the Responsible Sex Education Institute comes to present in my high school health classes I know that the kids will gain valuable information from someone who is knowledgeable, engaging, comfortable, and inclusive. Students leave feeling valued and informed, and they know where to go for accurate information. The Responsible Sex Education Institute knows how to teach all aspects of a comprehensive sex ed class for the 21st century (including consent, digital and other influences, abstinence, birth control, STIs, healthy communication, and healthy relationships).”

“In my religion we don’t talk about many of these things. I hope to listen to the presenter again and learn more.”

![SO many people wonder this! There are several different types of herpes: herpes simplex 1 (HSV-1), herpes simplex 2 (HSV-2), herpes gladiatorum (wrestlers commonly get this one!), and heck, even the chicken pox and shingles are a type of herpes. Herpes is so common, 80% of the world’s population has at least one type of herpes! So while only one type of herpes is considered an STI (HSV-2) based on how it spreads, a cold sore (HSV-1) can give someone genital herpes if there’s skin-to-skin contact during oral sex (mouth-to-genital sex). Using barriers like condoms and dental dams can help reduce someone’s risk, but ultimately, why does it matter what type of herpes someone has?
Herpes is common, and people with herpes still fall in love, have sex, and can live happy lives. So let’s do what we can to stop the stigma (negative belief) that herpes is awful and shameful. As long as you take care of yourself by going to the doctor regularly, knowing your status by getting tested for STIs after every new sexual partner or once a year, using safe sex materials like condoms and dental dams, and clearly communicating with your sexual partners, everything will be okay!

¡Mucha gente se pregunta esto! Hay varios tipos de herpes: herpes simplex tipo 1 (HSV-1), herpes simplex tipo 2 (HSV-2), herpes gladiatorum (¡los luchadores comúnmente contraen este!), igualmente la varicela y el herpes zóster son un tipo de herpes. El herpes es tan común que el 80% de la población mundial tiene al menos un tipo de herpes. Entonces, mientras solo un tipo de herpes se considera una ITS (HSV-2) en función de cómo se propaga, unas úlceras bucales o herpes febril labial (HSV-1) puede transmitir herpes genital a alguien si hay contacto piel con piel durante el sexo oral (boca a genitales).Usar barreras como condones y barreras de látexes bucales puede ayudar a reducir el riesgo de una persona, pero al final, ¿por qué importa qué tipo de herpes tiene una persona?
