Lil Dicky on De-stigmatizing Herpes

Lil Dicky goes on to talk about how normal genital herpes is (1/4 have it) and how we should work to destigmatize it and ultimately live in a more sex-positive society. I think seeing a celebrity, especially a rapper, talk about this is a big deal. We are a large community. 60 million in the US, 500 million worldwide and that’s just for HSV-2. We should demand more representation in mainstream media. I think a good idea would be to have a celebrity speak on it and to start a trend on social media like #destigmatizeherpes

The question is finding who and actually have folks go through with the social media campaign: have folks repost, drive traffic, etc…. Vaccines and cures have a long way to go but defeating the stigma is something we can do now.
