Lies about STDs

I recently watched an episode of Sexplanations on youtube. I generally like that channel but it seems that the host is spreading a lie about herpes. Not a huge one about the facts of the disease but more so about the "stigma" of STD's. She claims that herpes is stigmatized by the fact that it is sexually transmitted. I whole heartedly disagree! I wouldn't care if herpes could be caught by playing tennis, I'd still want to avoid it as much as possible. I wouldn't care if herpes affected the feet rather than the mouth and genitals. I'd STILL want to avoid it as much as possible. I feel like she's saying that not wanting herpes makes a person "sex negative" even if she doesn't outright say it.
