Could You Have Herpes?

The discussion about herpes between you, your partner and your doctor often comes unexpectedly.

Our website is here to help you identify which situations merit a visit to the doctor and which situations call for a "wait and see" approach. Here, you can ask for help without the social stigma or judgment. Our experts and members have been living with herpes for decades and we understand and commiserate with your concerns.
