Understanding Herpes and the Importance of Support

Herpes (HSV-1 and HSV-2) is a common viral infection affecting millions of Americans. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about one in eight adults in the U.S. has genital herpes, and most are unaware of their infection.

While herpes can be physically manageable, it often carries an emotional burden due to stigma. That’s why local and online support systems are so important—they help transform fear into understanding and isolation into connection.

In Valdosta, residents benefit from local clinics, peer communities, and the growing national herpes support network available through PositiveSingles.
