WISP PRESENTS:
HERPES DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR CONCERT TICKETS
People make plans for summer. Herpes makes plans to ruin those plans. This is the natural order.
Wisp offers consultations for medicine that tells herpes to go away. Sometimes it listens. Science is amazing that way.
Their clinicians diagnose online. This means no awkward conversations in waiting rooms filled with people pretending to read old magazines. Those magazines are disgusting, by the way. Full of germs and articles about the ozone layer.
The medicine arrives in unmarked packages. Neighbors will assume it's books. Or illegal fireworks. Either way, they won't know about the herpes situation.
Users can take daily medication to prevent outbreaks or keep emergency medication around for when symptoms appear. Daily suppressive medication keeps the virus dormant, like some sort of embarrassing volcano that you’d prefer never erupt.^*

ON THE WAY

🎸 Cris Jacobs Band
Thursday at Garcia’s (8PM)
