DATING WITH HERPES
Connection. Confidence. Choice.
Navigating dating after a herpes diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. SPFPP offers judgment-free resources, reflections, and support to help you move forward in your dating life without being in your head about the when and how of disclosing your status. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with herpes for years, we meet you where you are—you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Herpes Doesn't Have to Hold You Back
Honest Conversations Without Scripts
Disclosing your status can feel intimidating. We help you explore how to speak from a place of self-trust rather than from a place of performance. It’s not about getting it perfect; it’s about getting it aligned with your truth.
Lived Experience, Real Talk
Listen to stories from people who’ve navigated dating with herpes on the SPFPP Podcast. These are real conversations from people’s lived experiences.
Insights from the Front Lines
We bring in health professionals, peer support workers, therapists, and educators to share grounded perspectives on herpes facts and stigma, intimacy, consent, and emotional wellness.
Support That Centers You
Whether you’re looking for 1-on-1 space to talk things out, want to join a group with others who understand, or prefer to start by reading our blog, SPFPP gives you multiple ways to reconnect with yourself and others.
What You’ll Learn
Disclosing with Presence
Learn how to share your status in a way that reflects who you are, not just what you have. Find your words through practice, reflection, and self-awareness.
Minimizing Stigma
Challenge outdated narratives. Herpes doesn’t define your worth, desirability, or capacity for love.
Navigating Intimacy
Explore emotional and physical connection with less fear, more power of choice, and a stronger sense of boundaries.
Emotional Regulation
15% of people say they can predict outbreaks based on emotional stress. Through Yoga Therapy-informed tools, you’ll get support for nervous system regulation and identity validation.
