View author's info , Las Vegas, NV, United States, Mar 31, 2013

After being diagnosed with HSV we both thought we would never find love again. We wondered who would want someone with an incurable STD? To us this was the best and last chance to find true love. I'm sure most people would feel like we did- insecure and finding true love was no longer an option. After learning how to finally be ok with the fact that we both have this incurable disease and a lot of searching, we found this amazing site. Here we found acceptance and realized were not alone with how we felt. We could finally talk to other people openly and know we weren't being judged. I searched many different profiles and found one that really stood out over all the rest. Once I found her I and read her profile, I knew she was someone very special that had to be in my life in one way or another. I must read her profile a million times but was to afraid to message her. So as luck would have it after about 2 weeks of looking constantly at her profile, she made the first move and messaged... Read Full Story>>

Once I found her I and read her profile, I knew she was someone very special that had to be in my life in one way or another. I must read her profile a million times but was to afraid to message her. So as luck would have it after about 2 weeks of looking constantly at her profile, she made the first move and messaged me out the blue. I couldnt believe a person thats so absolutely beautiful thinks and lives as I do. And it turns out all this time we lived only 3 miles apart. We exchanged emails for about 2 weeks and spoke on the phone a few times (First conversation lasted 4 hours!) , we made arrangements to finally meet. I was more nervous getting ready for this date then I've ever been in my entire life. At the same time she text me feeling exactly the same. She could barely get her eyeliner on straight because she was shaking so much. We both knew the person we were about to meet could very well be "The One". I picked her up with flowers, in her favorite color, in hand. When the door opened I saw the most gorgeous and angelic woman I've ever seen. We went to a place we could paint and have some wine. If felt as if we were in grade school and found our first love. Neither of us could stop smiling and laughing. And before we knew it 7 hours had passed. We had our second date the next night, and have been together every day since. We both knew before we even met in person that this was our soul mate. Neither of us believed in love at first sight, but now we defiantly do. Now 1 year and 3 months later we are engaged to be married Spring 2014. She is my best friend and my one true soul mate. Shes my other half and feels that we must have been built together. If it weren't for us contracting what we did and finding this site, we would never have met. God works in mysterious ways. We learned from this experience to never give up hope and by learning to be ok with yourself first, true love will find its way to you. It did for us, and now our lives are better and happier then ever before.

We first met on here back in 2006, but it didn't work out at that time. I sent him a message after noticing him back on here in September 2011. He drove the two hours to come and see me a couple of weeks later, and we have been together since. We still live two hours apart, but he has now decided that as soon as he can get a transfer from work here that he will come and live with me. I can now not imagine my life without him. I have never been so happy in my entire life. I would have never met him if it wasn't for this site, thank you so much!!

I sent a message to James on October 2, 2012. He FINALLY messaged me back on Oct 22. (I still tease him about this)
I had started talking to someone else, but he stuck around and we texted consistently for two months as friends. He texted me get well texts and asked how I was doing when I was very sick in the hospital. Then, when we both were free from ties to other people, on Nov 3 (my birthday), I sent him a text message from my hospital bed saying I was interested in talking on the phone and meeting. That started a month of 4-6 hour phone calls several nights a week. I knew it was something special even then. He says he fell in love with me over the phone.

Because of our lack of money, we couldn't meet right away, but finally on Dec 15, 2012, when I had scrounged up some extra money for gas, I drove an hour to go see him.

I arrived at his house with a case of beer and an anxious heart. I saw him outside of his house and when I called his name and he turned aro... Read Full Story>>

I arrived at his house with a case of beer and an anxious heart. I saw him outside of his house and when I called his name and he turned around, I got this wonderful feeling! We hugged and went inside.

We sat and watched cartoons (our favorite pass time) and talked for a couple hours. We sat a few foot apart, sitting on our hands and blushing like middle school crushes.
Finally, after a couple bottles of Budweiser, I took advantage of my dutch courage and leaned onto his shoulder. We shared our first kiss right after that.

After a painfully long week apart, on December 22, he drove to my house for Christmas weekend. The next night, he took my face in his hands and told me he loved me. He loved me before we met, and he knew he'd love me forever. He went home Christmas night to spend a few days with his family for the holiday, but he was back in 3 days to spend New Years weekend with me. He decided to stay.

Since then we've had our very own fairy tale. We fell in love with each others families, and even more with each other.

My past marriage, and his past hurts have really made us into who we are today and because of those, we fit perfectly together. We've been able to sit and let go of some hurt we'd never been able to before and we bring out the best in eachother!

On top of that, we simply have so much fun together. I feel like we've been best friends for years! Everyday is full of laughter.

Our future looks bright. He, a disabled veteran, has one more year left to finish in his CAD Tech program in college. He is unable to work most jobs, so money is tight, but we're making it.

We're waiting on wedding bells and babies until he gets his damaged hips repaired and we're financially stable. But we're dreaming of our future, and hope to open a business together someday.

We often say, "I'm so glad I got herpes!" with a chuckle.
We wouldn't have found each other without HV1, OR Positive Singles.
Thank you PS for taking something we'd considered a "curse" and helped us realize it's a BLESSING!!

My name is Whitney and my boyfriends name is Josh. I found out about my HPV about a year ago. I was really down on myself but knew other people had to be going through the same thing so when i googled dating with HPV I found this sight. Josh first emailed me on February 11, 2012. I didnt think much of it but we continued to email. Eventually I gave him my phone number. He texted me for the first time on 2/14/2012 and we started to get to know eachother really well. It wasnt very long until we started to really like eachother. We ran into a few problems though, for one he was stationed in Virginia (originally from Tennessee) and i was in Vegas, complete opposite sides of the country. Second, he was in the military and getting ready to be deployed in a couple weeks. We talked as much as we could before he left and stayed in touch by email when he was gone. We sort of lost touch about the beginning-Middle of summer. One day around the end of July he happened to come across my mind. We had... Read Full Story>>

We sort of lost touch about the beginning-Middle of summer. One day around the end of July he happened to come across my mind. We hadnt talked in a few months so i was a little nervous to text him. I sent him a text and before you know it we were talking just like we used to, that connection was still there. He had gotten out of the military over the summer after serving his 4 years and was now living in Texas with some friends. A few weeks of talking went by when i decided it was time to meet. I asked him if i arranged for him to fly out here and stay with me would he be up for it. He said yes and so i booked the flight. I was really nervous because i had never met this person in my life and he was about to come and stay in my 1 bedroom apartment with me. His flight got in 8/17/2012 right after i got off work i went strait to the airport to pick him up and i had never been so nervous in my entire life. After what felt like hours of anxiously waiting to catch a glance at him i saw him walking towards me. It was like a scene from a movie to me lol he grabbed me and picked me up in a hug and then put me down and kissed me...from then on evrything was perfect. We went to dinner the next night and that is when he officially asked me to be his girlfriend 8/18/2012. When he had to leave we were both pretty bummed. I immediatley got on the compter and booked my flight to go staywith him in texas. That weekend went even better then the first! Leaving was twice as hard though...lots of tears. We started talking about him moving here and i never thought he actually would. I was one week away from going back to texas to surprise him with a visit when he called me and told me he had a surprise for me....He was moving out here and he was starting his drive that friday. I was ecstatic! He was officially moved in 10/1/2012. We have been together 6 months now and on valentines day it will be a year ago that we started talking. We have had our ups and downs but we are still going pretty strong. Never did i ever think that testing out this sight would lead to all of this.

I found my best friend!  (Dating)

We met in August of 2009 for coffee. We didn't hit it off right away. As a matter of fact, we both ended up going on to date other people. Over the next two years our friendship grew quite a bit and we leaned on each other through some life changes and other difficult relationships. In mid 2011 we started falling back together. Here we are, a year and a half later. Today we both officially deleted our accounts. That's what WE call a big step. No matter where this road leads us, I can confidently say I found my best friend.
