dating with herpes

Dating with herpes can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to stop you from finding connection, confidence, and clarity. This one-hour workshop recording, originally hosted live on May 23, 2024, walks you through the emotional and practical realities of dating with herpes.

In this session, Courtney Brame, founder of Something Positive for Positive People (SPFPP), shares tools to help you disclose your herpes status, navigate fear of rejection, and move forward in dating without shame.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to disclose your herpes status with confidence and honesty

  • When and how to bring it up in conversation

  • Strategies for managing fear of rejection and internalized stigma

  • How to normalize sexual health conversations in dating

  • Centering presence and self-trust instead of pressure

Why This Recording Matters
This isn’t about scripts or quick fixes. It’s about learning to see yourself beyond a diagnosis, having healthier conversations about sex and relationships, and building confidence that aligns with your truth.
