Looking for support and wisdom in Manhattan

[Sarahnyc95]

Hi everyone! I just got diagnosed with genital hsv1 about a week ago. Although I am struggling with the emotional impact of this news I am trying my best to stay positive and research as much as I can. I would love to get to know more people who have gone through this before as I am only 20 years old and know no one yet who has experienced this. I am also looking for a potential support group or group of people who are willing to meet face to face to help me get threw this and have someone to talk to. I am in Manhattan and need support.

Hi Sarah... I am also in the Bronx area, and hoping to find a group. I hope you find the inner strength to keep loving you.

Here is a link to some support group info https://herpeslife.com/herpes-support-groups.

 

Here is a link to a blog that is worth your time to check out http://supporttruthanddialog.com/. It is written by WCSDancer2010. Its very comprehensive in regards to herpes.

 

I too got herpes at 20. I am 49 now. Life does go on. You are one the right track in dealing with it. I attended a support group meeting for the first time 20 years ago and it did wonders. There is going to be a virtual support group meeting this Sunday night. Contact @Adrial for the details if you do not know about it already.

Don't worry, 1/4 people in NYC have herpes.
