Coping With Herpes In The Peak Of Summer (Rx: HAVE SOME FUN)

Here in Vancouver, the summer has been awesome, if a little excessively hot from time to time. Now the PNE is underway, signalling the peak and the impending wind-down of our most precious month.

How do you feel if you have genital herpes and are keeping it secret inside yourself, watching couples hand-in-hand walking the seawall, enjoying water sports, dining on patios, dressed to the nines to hit the city’s night time hotspots?

Chances are that if you are still holding onto the pain and isolation of this (EXTREMELY COMMON, though stigmatized) disease, you feel at least as miserable in the beautiful summer as you do in the murky gray depths of our Wet-Coast winters.

Come out and play!

There is a seemingly magical key to the emotional prison of suffering in silence with genital herpes / HSV:  it’s called Positive Singles. It’s a dating site specially for people who have STDs like HSV, where those who are carrying the virus can openly disclose that (in an anonymous way of course, no breach of privacy here!) and easily find others who have the same condition.

You may have visited other websites and wished that there could be a checkbox for Herpes right there with the other common criteria like Marital Status, Height, Eye Colour, etc.

Now, you can go to Positive Singles and there IS a checkbox for Herpes! And once you join the website you will find TONS of WONDERFUL, smart, nice, good-looking singles who also have it and prefer to be with someone else who has it.

VERY LIBERATING.

Here’s a prediction: if you go and join up right now, keep an open mind and an open heart, you will be unable to wipe the smile off your face by the time the first nips of autumn remind you that it’s time to get cozy with someone special.
