Initial reporting indicated that the app had seen a spike in inquiries made on the app, jumping from about 12 people per day to 250 in the first two days of the festival. But physicians interviewed by Billboard, including HerpAlert's own medical director, say it's more likely that app users were inquiring about herpes prior to the festival, which takes place in the desert under unusually hot and dry conditions, and not reporting a mass outbreak of STDs during the festival.

"My first reaction is that the whole thing is kind of silly because symptoms don't typically show up in 24 hours," said Dr. Jill Grimes, a board-certified family physician and author of Seductive Delusions: How Everyday People Catch STDs. "It can take anywhere from two to 12 days for symptoms to appear, although the average is three to four days," says Grimes, who is on faculty at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and is spokesperson for the American Academy of Family Physicians.

allow me to turn on the shower

not that i have it, but:

1 in 3 adults has the virus that causes genital herpes.

Around 80% of people infected with genital herpes don't know they have the virus because they have very mild symptoms or none at all.

Over 50% of people who have genital herpes get it from people who are entirely unaware that they have herpes themselves.

just sayin'... the misinformation and incorrect social stigma is probably the worst part for someone who has it... because many dumbfricks are just not actually informed about the topic on which they speak, taking antiquated and patently false information as gospel..
