You're Not Alone!

When people are newly diagnosed (newbies) or have questions about living with Herpes or HPV, they need a trusted source for accurate information. If you're going to seek information on the internet, it's important that you find sites you can rely on. We're glad you found us.

This support and information site for people living with genital and oral herpes is provided as a free service by Antopia, Inc. To support this site, please visit our genital herpes dating and HPV dating site, MPwH.net. MPwH is the largest and most reputable herpes/HPV social networking site with over 71,000 members. You can click here to join!

Antopia's MPwH.net is a large and dynamic Herpes and HPV community. MPwH has been providing supportive, informational, dating and social networking resources to people with Herpes and HPV since 1997. We work hard to ensure that MPwH is a constructive and supportive place, whether it's for people who have known about their condition for years, or for people who might have been recently diagnosed. Many people find MPwH after a diagnosis or break-up, and by focusing on social factors and community, we give them a place to recharge.

While MPwH focuses more on the social aspect of living with Herpes and HPV, we do understand that some of your questions may be of a medical nature. We would like you to know about 2 consistently reliable and accurate websites where you will be able to learn more about Herpes and/or Human Papillomavirus (HPV):

ASHA: Since 1914 the American Social Health Association has been committed to educating the public about STDs. On this site you will find accurate and reliable information about all kinds of STDs, including Herpes and HPV. Visit ASHA for Herpes information and HPV information.

Westover Heights Clinic: Since 1982 this organization has specialized in providing information and education for people with STDs. In addition to general information you can read one of the best resources available on the Internet for Herpes: The Herpes Handbook provides clear and accurate information about the physical part of Herpes and also the emotional side as well. There is a particularly good chapter about how to "Tell A Friend" about the Herpes diagnosis. To view the Herpes Handbook and learn more about Herpes and other STDs visit Westover Heights.

The only intention of this website is to inform and educate. It does not offer medical advice or diagnosis, nor endorse specific treatments. Anyone who is concerned about Herpes and their health should contact a qualified health care professional in the state or jurisdiction where you reside.

At this time, there is no cure for herpes. However, there are many different approaches to the management of herpes. Some of these solutions are approved or endorsed by official bodies, such as the FDA, and some aren't. You need to carefully read all the information provided and make your own determination, remembering that what works for one person may not work for the next person. This applies to FDA-approved drugs like Valtrex, Zovirax, Famvir, Acyclovir, as well as other remedies.

Meet People with Herpes is a huge online community of people where fantastic friendships are made. Although set up as a social community and dating website, it has become an active and supportive community of thousands of people. Participation can be as anonymous as you want, and it's free to join, although there is a fee for full participation. You can click here to join!

We also provide lots of herpes information. If you just need to read up and learn all about herpes, this is where you should start. We cover everything from transmission and diagnosis to resources, treatment, and just living with genital herpes.

When you are first diagnosed with herpes, it can seem overwhelming. We know - we've been there. However, based on the experiences of the thousands of people who ahve visited and participated in our websites, things get better over time. You'll soon get used to living with herpes, and you can start the process of moving forward. If we can help you in any way, please let us know.

We hope that you enjoy our sites. Please visit often.
