Dating the H-Bomb

http://www.abc.net.au/tv/openingshot/episode/1/ If using a condom is tricky to bring up when your date starts to get hot and heavy, try dropping the 'H-Bomb' - admitting you have genital herpes. One in eight Australians have genital herpes , yet a whopping 80% of those have no idea they're infected. Dating The H*Bomb is an unconventional, light-hearted documentary using the frank personal stories of three Australians living with genital herpes: Heidi is a party-loving twenty-something whose saddle chafe just won't go away… Hector is a suave ladies' man who just doesn't want to give 'the talk'… Michael is a down-to-earth bloke who can't believe what's happened to his penis… In real life audio interviews re-enacted with puppets, our three protagonists share deeply intimate stories of their infection, their diagnosis and how the virus has impacted their search for love. While each has endured their own journey of embarrassing moments, dating disasters and comic misunderstandings, all three eventually come to learn that if you want to find love, you've got to accept who you are first - virus and all. It turns out, genital herpes has taught them more about love, sex and human relationships than they had ever anticipated.
