Demystifying HSV-1 vs. HSV-2: Understanding the Stigma

One of the most popular conversations around herpes is the comparison of HSV-1 versus HSV-2. I’ve presented this same information in numerous ways with each passing year (you can even find those posts in my guides on IG), but I find it important to continue this conversation as this account grows.

Disclaimer: Like many (if not all) IG posts, this is overly simplistic and does not, and cannot, account for every individual situation. This graphic is another way to organize the same information visually as a means to facilitate education around HSV-1 and HSV-2, but more importantly, why one holds such a stigma over the other.
