Since the stigma of herpes, many newly diagnosed people do not know how to disclose their herpes status to other. They tend to join local herpes support group to find support or share their stories. Unfortunately, most of them can’t find it. Actually, almost every state in the United States has herpes support group or herpes social group. However, few people can find those “Secret” groups.  Those groups often use the terms like “Friends” in “Bay Area Friends” or “H Friends” or “H Club”, “Heeps”.  Many original herpes support groups can be found on Yahoo Group, Facebook, Meetup and other social platforms.
