The STD Project

On April 24th, 2019, the herpes activists' network, HANDS, will launch the 1st ever "Break the Stigma Day" taking place globally, alongside STD Awareness Month

After a NYC-based researcher and adjunct professor used social media to tell her audience they didn't need to disclose their genital herpes status, the herpes activists network, HANDS, launched a counter-campaign, and the content was later removed

The first ever herpes activists network (Herpes Activists Networking to Dismantle Stigma - HANDS), with over 12 individual activists and a growing list of member organizations, launches on Herpes Awareness Day - Oct 13, 2018
