# Talk:Herpes

In October 2024 a campaign by the New Zealand Herpes Foundation aimed to 'Make New Zealand the Best Place in the World to Have Herpes'. Using humour, trustworthy spokespeople, and bite-sized information videos it aims to destigmatise herpes in New Zealand. The 'Herpes Stigma Index', a global ranking, was created as part of the campaign. See https://thebestplaceintheworldtohaveherpes.com/ MittenMacaroni (talk) 00:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

This article seems to be the most out-of-date of all the top-importance medicine articles, with a median age of sources of 2007. With WP:MEDDATE, the ideal is that all sources are from the last 5 years. Anybody here able to update the article? If not, I'll be nominating it for a good article reassessment in a few weeks. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:48, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
