Beyond the Diagnosis: Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Recovery Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe receiving an STI diagnosis, the immediate response — practical and emotional — and the longer work of treatment, disclosure, and redefining intimacy and self-understanding. The voices span a range of infections, circumstances, and outcomes, and they do not minimise the difficulty of what stigma adds to an already challenging situation.

Who it's for

For those navigating a recent diagnosis, those further along who still carry the weight of stigma, partners, and anyone who wants to understand this experience from the inside rather than from a distance.
