💙2 of my FAVE topics BC I can help SOSOSO much to DEBUNK the angst
😩2 of my LEAST FAVE bc they create a DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF ANGST!!!!
🅰they’re common
🅱they’re not dirty
🅲 chances are the people you hang with including those in your family have them (whether or not they know it!) and they are STILL GOOD/KIND/SMART/HEALTHY/HEALTHY/LOVING/GOING TO BE MOTHERS IF THEY WANT/GOING TO BE PRESIDENT IF THEY WANT SO PLEASE DONT DESPAIR!
🅳 Lump them together BC they’re common AND can be asymptomatic AND can be transmitted DESPITE condoms AND can lay dormant for years SO if you’ve just discovered them NO it doesn’t mean your boo has cheated!
🅴 And NOOOO THAT “is NOT so SCARY!!” In FACT, this is SPECIFICALLY WHY herpes and HPV are SO VERY NOT NOT NOT AT ALL SCARY-bc they’re COMMON!! (I will always Maintain that it’s really silly to be “scared” of common things… Let’s reserve our fear for things that are uncommon OK people?? Like tsunami’s, or those weird big ass hornets or something ok???) NOT for something that OHHH SOO MANY OF US HAVE!
🅵 If we ALLL talk about it MORE then guess what, we won’t be soooo freaked out!
🅶 AND if y’all are so freaked out about HPV git yet GARDASIL Please (now approved til age 45!!!)
🅷and yes, I still love when #herpes autocorrects to #heroes
