Hey everyone! I'm a 22-year-old woman who was diagnosed with genital HSV-1 about seven months ago. I just found this wonderful website today and am so grateful to become part of a community of caring, mindful people that have been on this same - sometimes incredibly difficult - journey that still feels so new to me. I am currently doing a teaching fellowship in Japan, but reside primarily in New York. So if you're okay with having an HBuddy who will be on a totally bizarre schedule for the next six months (a 14-hour time difference between here and the East Coast), but who loves nothing more than providing support, encouragement, accountability, and laughter to others, I'm your gal. And, to be honest, I could use much of the same. No preferences in regards to age, gender, or anything else, for that matter. Can't wait to meet you!
