New York Herpes Dating and Support

Since 2007, HWerks has been the community site for herpes dating, herpes support and social networking.  It is the members who make this site what it is and they join for many reasons.  Some come for friendship and dating 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 meeting people today!

New York 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 for social and dating. 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.

Love Profound

meetup.com/Love-Profound/

From their Website:

This group is for anyone and everyone.
Anyone who has ever struggled with shame. Anyone who is struggling with a diagnosis and wants other human beings to communicate with. Anyone who is looking for peace, freedom and encouragement to be brave and #liveoutloud

I started this group because when I tested positive for herpes I felt absolutely alone. With time I got to a place where I wanted to find these “1 in 6” people.

We’ll chat and snack, and laugh, and maybe cry. We’ll drink wine, and have meaningful conversations. We’ll connect. Love will be present at all times.

Not feeling ready to join the meetup publicly? You are who we’re here for.

Secret Herpes Facebook Groups:

Local Secret Herpes Facebook Groups (HPV, too) are popular among the herpes community.  Acting as its own container, only group members can see within the group.  At HWerks,  we have our own secret Facebook Group for our members. They have access to these groups and many others. Learn more about Secret Herpes Facebook Groups and how they work.

Hudson Valley Friends

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HudsonValleyFriends/

From their Website:

We are a social group based in the Hudson Valley area of New York State for members of the “HSV” (Herpes Simplex Virus) community.

Our mission is to build a network of friends, in which people can socialize in a fun, comfortable environment.

The activities we plan are for going out, having fun, and making new friends. We do not talk about health or support issues out in public (please keep those topics here in the message board), nor do we identify the nature of the group in any way. We all share the same concerns about discretion. Coming to a social event is just like going out with any other extended group of friends, except here we all share a similar history.

We rely on ordinary members LIKE YOU to volunteer to organize events, such as Hikes, Dinners, Brunches, Happy Hours, Speed-Dating, Camping, Picnics, BBQ’s, Holiday Parties, Ski Trips, Bike Rides, Dancing, Ball Games, Surfing, Movies, Bowling, Billiards, Wine-Tasting, Museum trips, Concerts, Comedy or Theatre trips, and YOU NAME IT! We encourage all members to plan events!
