If you are single and think your dating life is over because you have genital herpes then think again.
Did you know that 1 in 5 American's has genital herpes? That is quite a staggering number of adult genital herpes cases, don't you think? Hearing those numbers should make you feel a little better about your condition. Many people that are infected have never had an outbreak or did not know they had one. This is why it is the fasted spreading std in the United States.
People that don't think they have genital herpes should still get tested for it to determine if they are a carrier of the disease. By getting tested for this std then you will know whether you need to take precaution if you have the disease.
Unfortunately many people think that if you have genital herpes then there is something wrong with you. All of us genital herpes sufferers know that simply is not true. We are the same person except for our medical condition. Most people that become infected become emotionally devastated at first and feel like they will no longer be a viable mate. This is normal and with time and as you become educated about your disease, this feeling will pass.
Since one in five American adults has genital herpes you would think there would be alternative to regular dating and meeting people. Well, in the last 5 years ago or so there has been more places for genital herpes sufferers to go for information about their condition.
Online there have been Yahoo Herpes and STD Groups popping up in areas around the country.
In these groups people connect through meet and greet at local gathering places, I have even seen some white water rafting getaways just for single men and women who suffer from this disease.
There have also been Herpes Dating sites popping up and many are getting pretty huge.
As it infects another 19 million Americans this year, the demand for herpes dating sites grows like wildfire. Many of these STD sites allow you to have your own blog. Many offer real live STD counselors available for you to contact, some have chat rooms and very informative forums.
Just remember, there are millions of singles out there with genital herpes around the globe.
There has never been an easier way for singles infected with genital herpes to meet their match as there has been now. You will never meet your match who shares your condition if you do not take the first step.
If you have been bored to death and tired of hiding in your shell because of your condition then it's time to break out of that shell. Find a local group on Yahoo near you if there is one, there is no cost for these groups except that you pay your own way when you go out.
Even the herpes dating sites are free to join.
