NYC Friends
From their Website:
WELCOME TO NYCFriendsII. We are a group of volunteers who set up social events in the NYC area for people with “H” and offer each other support and friendship.
Please help support the group by attending events – they’re lots of fun and a great way to meet people, plus it boosts everyone’s morale. Introduce yourself to other members or even just say hi to another member, especially one that you don’t know. Initiate a chat session, volunteer to help with events (organizing, special projects), give suggestions, and share and help other members with any questions they might have.
Let’s all work together to make this a fun and interesting board.
Hudson Valley Friends
From their Website:
We are a social group based in the Hudson Valley area of New York State for members of the “HSV” (Herpes Simplex Virus) community.
Our mission is to build a network of friends, in which people can socialize in a fun, comfortable environment.
The activities we plan are for going out, having fun, and making new friends. We do not talk about health or support issues out in public (please keep those topics here in the message board), nor do we identify the nature of the group in any way. We all share the same concerns about discretion. Coming to a social event is just like going out with any other extended group of friends, except here we all share a similar history.
We rely on ordinary members LIKE YOU to volunteer to organize events, such as Hikes, Dinners, Brunches, Happy Hours, Speed-Dating, Camping, Picnics, BBQ’s, Holiday Parties, Ski Trips, Bike Rides, Dancing, Ball Games, Surfing, Movies, Bowling, Billiards, Wine-Tasting, Museum trips, Concerts, Comedy or Theatre trips, and YOU NAME IT! We encourage all members to plan events!
Since herpes does not discriminate and neither do we, we are a very diverse group of people of all ages. We’re especially welcoming to folks who are new to this situation and new to the group. We’ll make sure to introduce you to other friendly people and make you feel at home. If you’d like to talk to someone or ask questions before attending an event, just contact the event organizer or one of the Moderators and someone will get in touch with you.
