Thanks for coming joining the group, ladies and gentlemen alike.
I'm never good at mass inviting people places - I always feel like its intruding in on their space. But this HPV thing is no joke. And that's really something coming from the sarcasm queen herself.
It's a horrible thing, the HPV virus and its affecting people at an alarming rate, both men AND women. Unfortunately there isn't a vaccine for men as of yet. We're working on it, guys, we promise. (Well, not me personally, but you know what I mean)
Anyway, feel free to participate in conversations, share stories, ask questions, etc.
One thing I want to make perfectly clear is that we aren't hear to judge you. We know the stereotypes that usually come with having HPV - "Oh, you must be sleeping around a lot." We know that this isn't the case, and a lot of the time, HPV is passed from a 'one night stand', your 'first partner', or 'your long time partner who never knew they had it.' Sad, but true.
So, once again, ask anything, express anything.
If there's anything that you aren't comfortable sharing publicly, please feel free to send me a direct message via 20sb, or e-mail me at katie@run2inspire.com. I'm here for ya! We all are!
