Herpes and HPV, also known as genital warts, are very common infectious diseases, but there is a surprising lack of information available about it, and an equal lack of "heart" in dealing with it. In 1995 a friend suggested that there was a need for a "Herpes Forum" based on responses he had from several newsgroups. So here it is the forum.

 We strive  to create a forum among people who share a common problem, herpes; to provide support, understanding, a place to exchange feelings about herpes and ideas and maybe even a laugh or two...

Share your story of how the H virus has become a part of your life. Your posts can help others to relate and to know that they are not alone.

Talk about how you deal with your outbreaks while trying to function at work. How does herpes affect your routine? Share your story, contribute tips or just join in on the conversation.

Anything related to relationships and herpes. Including your thoughts about finding a partner, being in love, lust or any other issues that come up in a relationship where herpes is involved.
