Illinois Herpes Support & Social Network
Since 2007, HWerks has been the community site for herpes support and social networking for those living with HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus). It is the members who make this site what it is and they join for many reasons. Some come for friendship and information while others come for the support they cannot get anywhere else. We have a vibrant community made up of people from all over with various backgrounds and their own stories. We hope to hear yours. Join HWerks and start today!

Illinois Herpes Groups (Local)
Please Note: These herpes groups (HPV, too) are not run by HWerks. They are run by awesome volunteers! While some groups may focus on support, others may be purely social. Local groups are just another way to meet people in your area and are a great asset to the community! Not all group members are a member of HWerks and vice versa. Each group is different so please visit their website for more details. Visit the Local Groups page to learn more about local groups.

There are usually about 2 or 3 social event Meetups planned per month, just for us to hang out and meet new people and see familiar friends with the same or similar condition.
