SPFPP Herpes Stigma Expo

The SPFPP Herpes Stigma Expo: 2026 Fall Edition

Stigma thrives in isolation. It keeps you disconnected from your body and terrified of rejection. But what happens when you step out from behind the screen and into a room full of people who actually get it?

Welcome to the Herpes Stigma Expo.

Hosted by Courtney Brame, Founder of Something Positive for Positive People (SPFPP), this immersive, in-person event is a full experience of integrated herpes stigma navigation. We are bringing the community together for an afternoon of deep support, somatic healing, and expert-led discussions on reclaiming your sexual health and pleasure.

What to Expect

• In-Person Support Group: A structured, intentional space to share your experiences, connect with others, and decompress from the weight of stigma.

• Somatic Yoga & The 8 Limbs: Learn how to use the ancient blueprint of the 8 Limbs of Yoga to regulate your nervous system, manage stress, and actively detach your identity from your diagnosis.

• Sexual Health & Communication: Sex Therapist Nikita Fernandes will join us to share actionable tips on how to confidently discuss sexual health and navigate safe sex practices with partners.

• The Pleasure Practice: Jordan DNelle (Host of the Vaginas, Vulvas, and Vibrators podcast) will lead a present-moment sensory pleasure practice designed to be explored alone or with a partner.

• Community & Resources: Connect with local sexual health organizations, access on-site STI testing from our vendors, and socialize with a community that understands you.
