I remember the day I found out I had HSV-2. I felt empty. I felt alone. My life seemed to be crashing down all around me. Any sense of normality was lost.
How could I date again? Who could I talk to? So many questions raced through my mind day in and day out. Then I found (an online dating site for people with sexually transmitted diseases.)
I took advantage of the free registration and began looking around. I read tips and advice pieces, and I looked at profiles and blogs.
The more I read, the more that empty feeling inside of me filled up.Suddenly I didn't feel so isolated. In fact, I realized that so many others are in the same boat. I was uplifted.
She helped turn my life around. I owe my newfound optimism to them. And it is a great, helpful site and if you've found yourself in the unfortunate situation of carrying an STD, fear not. Sign up, look around, and feel welcome. There are many of us and (dating sites) provide a great opportunity to connect.
