Something Positive for People with Herpes
Can you live a normal life with herpes? Well that’s up to you. Herpes Stigma, especially genital herpes stigma carries a big emotional weight. SPFPP sees that 36% of people diagnosed struggle with suicidal thoughts because of it. Stigma will fragment your identity and make you feel less than. What we do here is help people reclaim the whole of their identity through finding their power of choice. We teach people how to discuss their sexual health status, where they can go for support, and we condense resources to this blog post for anyone newly diagnosed seeking resources for themselves and to share.
