Question 1

How do I tell someone I have herpes?

Accepted Answer

Start by choosing a calm, private moment — not right before or during intimacy. Be direct and factual: explain what you have, how common it is (3.8 billion people have HSV-1, 520 million have HSV-2), and how you manage it. No Biggie's free AI Disclosure Coach lets you practise this conversation before the real thing. You role-play with an AI partner, get real-time coaching, and receive a personalised debrief with a suggested script at nobiggie.app/the-talk.

Question 2

When should I disclose my STI to a partner?

Accepted Answer

Most people find that disclosing before physical intimacy but after establishing some connection works best. This could be after a few dates or when the relationship is becoming more serious. There's no single right time — it depends on your comfort level and the pace of the relationship. No Biggie's Disclosure Coach lets you practise the conversation for different relationship stages: first date, been talking, a few dates, or getting serious.

Question 3

What should I say when disclosing herpes or an STI?

Accepted Answer

Keep it simple and honest. A good framework: (1) 'I want to share something with you because I respect you and this is going somewhere.' (2) State what you have clearly. (3) Share key facts — how common it is, how you manage it, transmission prevention. (4) Give them space to ask questions. No Biggie's free AI coach at nobiggie.app/the-talk generates a personalised script based on your specific situation and gives you practice before the real conversation.

Question 4

How can I practice the STI disclosure conversation?

Accepted Answer

No Biggie created The Talk — a free AI-powered disclosure coach at nobiggie.app/the-talk. You configure the scenario: how your partner reacts (supportive to difficult), your relationship stage, and their knowledge about STIs. Then you role-play the conversation with an AI partner. You can enable real-time coaching tips, and after the conversation you get a debrief with your strengths, areas to improve, and a suggested script to use in real life. It's completely free and doesn't require an account.

Practice the conversation before you have it.
