Herpes Support Groups in US: Help Is Not That Far Away

Herpes is not simple disease, since it not only affects your body, but also takes a toll on your personal life. Although regular check-ups and the right medications will keep a check on the problem that herpes causes for your body, battling sadness, uneasiness or self-consciousness is another matter entirely. Fortunately, there is a list of support groups all over the United States of America, ease unique, helpful and supportive for all herpes patients, new or old.

Herpes Support

While certain regions of the Unite States have legit, well-known support groups, other areas have secret Facebook groups that arrange meet-ups and gatherings. These secret groups are strictly “invite only” and need to be scouted out through people who actually know such groups. The National HELP Herpes Support Group could get you in touch with many of them. To get in touch with National HELP, follow the steps below:

  • Log onto Facebook
  • Find Joann Purkey, from Kaiserslautern High School
  • Send her a friend request
  • Send her a message mentioning your area and asking her to help you get in touch with one of the herpes support groups
