Welcome to the world's most comprehensive and supportive herpes dating community! Living with herpes (HSV-1 or HSV-2) doesn't define you, and it certainly doesn't mean your dating life has to end.

Our platform goes far beyond traditional dating – we're a thriving community that provides hope, education, support, and genuine connections for people at every stage of their herpes journey.
Understanding Herpes: You're Not Alone
Herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections globally, affecting over 500 million people worldwide – that's approximately 1 in 6 adults. HSV-1 (typically oral herpes) affects about 67% of the global population under age 50, while HSV-2 (typically genital herpes) affects about 13% of people aged 15-49. Despite its incredible prevalence, societal stigma and misinformation can make a herpes diagnosis feel isolating and overwhelming. The truth is, herpes is a manageable skin condition that millions of people live with successfully while maintaining fulfilling relationships, careers, and lives.
