Welcome to the space where we talk and learn to date again… with herpes
Clear answers. Honest conversations. Real life with HSV.
Living with herpes can raise a lot of questions, about dating, disclosure, outbreaks, and whether love will ever feel simple again. Dating With Herpes exists to replace fear and stigma with clear information, emotional understanding, and practical guidance.
This is not a medical site. It is an educational space built around lived experience, clarity, and compassion.
What Dating With Herpes Is
Dating With Herpes is an educational resource for people living with HSV who want to understand what life, dating, and relationships actually look like over time.
Here, we focus on:
How herpes really works in the body
What HSV means (and does not mean) for dating and intimacy
How people disclose honestly without losing themselves
How outbreaks, triggers, and immune health are commonly discussed
How stigma affects confidence - and how to move beyond it
Everything is written to be clear, calm, and grounded in real experience.
