Advocacy is SO IMPORTANT—and maybe the only tool to accelerate research for a cure. Let’s upgrade it with AI! Please read!

Everyday, we come here to vent and complain, but if we don’t take our voices beyond Reddit, nothing will change.

Our situation is not only ignored by major stakeholders, but also by the general public. Most people don’t even realize how widespread herpes is, or how underfunded research for a cure remains.

With AI, creating content is easier than ever. You can generate posts for X, write emails to researchers, or start awareness campaigns in seconds. No expertise needed—just a few clicks to make our struggle visible and demand action.

X is a powerful tool: we can interact directly with @fredhutch, @NIH, @WHO, @moderna_tx, and others. If we only talk among ourselves, nothing will change. We need to bring the conversation where it matters.

If each of us spent just 10 minutes a week advocating, raising awareness, and pushing for funding, we could actually make a difference.

At the end of the day… the power to change this is in our hands. 🚀 #CureHerpesNow
