New York 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!

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 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.

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.
