I'm literally begging y'all to use lube. With yourself. With your partners. With your external toys. For the love of God, with your internal toys.

y'all are showing your internalized stigma and it's real silly considering more than half the people in any given room have herpes @KellyRipa @LiveKellyRyan

@LiveKellyRyan did you guys know YOU most likely haven't been screened for herpes - it's not included in STI screening and in most cases is dormant? Herpes isn't a big deal, but comments like your on air ones make people feel like it is. Promote info & awareness, not stigma :)

EBV aka mono/glandular fever is also herpes. These viruses remain in the body forever and flare under stress. C'mon, @nypost - get it together. Stigmatizing herpes journalism is so 1982.
Replying to @brosandprose
Herpes zoster is also chicken pox. That's right: if you've had chicken pox, you have a herpes virus.

@LiveKellyRyan @KellyRipa @RyanSeacrest stigma is so 2003, c'mon mates! We know your writers can come up with something other than tired herpes jokes. (Over half the globe has HSV, check the @WHO stats.)
Replying to @LiveKellyRyan
Same. I mean how many newly diagnosed, especially youth, contemplate suicide bc they think they are unworthy of love bc of their HSV ALL due to the stigma media perpetuates on platforms like this. 😡😡

Unfollowing is the closest thing we have to slamming down a phone.
It's almost like medically accurate sexual health curriculum based in facts, prevention, management and consent would benefit people instead of fear, abstinence and shame based sex ed that most of the country gets. Wild. @CDCSTD
Why is #STDWeek important? CDC estimates 1 in 5 people in the U.S. had a sexually transmitted infection in 2018. We need to reach communities with facts about prevention, testing and treatment: bit.ly/39O5U1Y.
