The Nurse Holly Abstinence controversy began in early 2020 when TikTok creator Holly Albracht, a registered nurse, posted a video dancing to the song 'Stay' by Rihanna. In the video, she displayed text suggesting that abstinence is the only 100% effective way to prevent STDs, which many viewers and medical professionals criticized for being overly simplistic and neglecting comprehensive sexual health education. The video quickly became a template for parodies, where users 'stitched' or recreated the dance to mock the delivery of serious or questionable information through upbeat dancing. Today, the meme serves as a classic example of internet cringe culture and the pitfalls of health communication on social media platforms.
