Coping with STDs
Quote From: chantel2I did a search for websites and came up with these: gotherpes.com, herpes.md, and mpwh.com. The dating sites include: loveacess.com, herpes-dating.com, positivesingles.com, stdfriends.com and herpesonline.org. I have not signed on to any and really am not sure how good they are. If anyone has had experience with any of these sites, I would be interested in your views. I'm real nervous about signing up for a site, then having a friend or co-worker find out about me.
Also I too do not have many outbreaks. They seem to occur when I'm under a lot of stress and starting a new relationship it about as stressful as you can get. Has anyone ever used the medication to reduce the outbreaks (ie, Valtrex)? Did you have any real issues -- besides the cost? Well hello! i am so glad to see this sort of discussion out in the open! First of all thank you Dr. Phil for all that you do! My name is Deb, and I co chair a herpes/hpv social group here in NYC. We volunteer to host/schedule gather events to offer support and friendship- hey and sumtimes a little romance too! There are many "h" related sites out there- for romance, support, friendship. I do not endorse any of them- many are commercial ventures peddling snake oil or making profit off your internet "hits". Others claim to help the "community" but often contain outlandish rules or require banner- commercial exchange. I'm a new yorker- I lay it on the line lol. Nonetheless many of these sites have helped ppl to come together for chat- national events- local events and to meet some great people that u may have never met otherwise. As with any internet interaction or in life- use good judgement- be cautious. And as far as fears of someone seeing your picture or profile or information on one of these sites- well I really don't think someone without the virus will be on there. Besides on many of these sites you don't have to show your picture or exact information. If I can be of any assistance to those in the NYC area, please feel free to contact me. debster982003@YAHOO.COM
