I hear the weight of what you're carrying—a year of uncertainty about connection, and now feeling stuck between isolation and vulnerability. That's genuinely hard, and your feelings are completely valid.

First: your love life is absolutely not over. HSV2 doesn't define your worth or your capacity for meaningful connection. Many people with herpes build fulfilling relationships—some with partners who are also HSV2 positive, others with partners who accept their status. Age 62 brings wisdom, self-knowledge, and often less of the judgment you might fear.

About PositiveSingles specifically—I'd encourage you to reach out directly to their customer support team about in-person events or community gatherings. They may have regional meetups, virtual events, or resources I'm not aware of. They're best positioned to help you maximize the platform or connect you with local community.

The rejection fear is real, but consider this: disclosing to someone who can't accept you isn't rejection of *you*—it's incompatibility. And that's actually filtering *for* people capable of genuine acceptance. Many people are.

You deserve connection without shame. Whether that's through online communities, support groups, or eventually dating again, you're not alone in this, and your diagnosis doesn't disqualify you from love.

Consider also connecting with an HSV support community or counselor—not because anything is wrong with you, but because processing this with others who truly understand can ease the emotional burden you're carrying.
