COMMENT ON THE PRITELIVIR FDA PETITION
Please read this FDA petition and add your comments about why Pritelivir approval would be important to you. They need to know that people with severe symptoms have little to no available treatment options, thus furthering the case for faster approval. You can share your story anonymously, if you prefer.
CORRECT MISINFORMATION on X
If you see someone making an incorrect statement about HSV, please correct them with an #HSVfact.
JOIN THE DISCUSSION: HHS PETITION
Make your voice heard! We are creating a petition for HHS (Health and Human Services) and would like the community’s feedback so all our voices get heard. Please join the discussion at r/HerpesHelp
