Why was St Louis H Club created?1 out of 4 adult women and 1 out of 8 adult men has genital herpes. It is estimated that 50% to 80% of adults have oral herpes (cold sores). 90% of people who are infected with Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2) don't know they have it. At least 50% of adults acquire Human Papillomavirus (HPV - genital warts or cervical cancer) at some point in their lives.
Chances are that at least one of your friends, relatives, or coworkers has either HSV or HPV. They are very common and can happen to anyone. There is a negative social stigma surrounding these viruses which causes many people who are diagnosed to feel shame, guilt, anxiety, and alone. Therefore, this group was created in an effort to bring together those who are infected with "H" (as we like to call it) so they can learn more about these viruses, how other people have been affected by and recovered from the shock of their diagnosis, and so they can interact with others who share their situation.
