Terms
Using this site means accepting the terms below. They are short because the site is simple: we publish guides and a directory, and we do not hold accounts.
This is not medical, legal, or psychological advice
Everything here is general information and is not medical advice. We are not clinicians. Nothing on this site is a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation, or an assessment of your situation, and using it does not create a clinician–patient or lawyer–client relationship.
For clinical information about HSV, consult a doctor and refer to public health sources such as the CDC or the American Sexual Health Association.
Decisions about testing, treatment, and transmission risk belong with a qualified clinician who knows your circumstances. Questions about disclosure obligations belong with someone who knows the law where you live, because those rules vary by jurisdiction.
If you are in a medical emergency, contact emergency services. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 in the US, or find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com.
What a directory listing means, and does not mean
We verify listings by hand and record when we checked. That verification means we confirmed the group appeared to exist and to be running at that date.
It is not an endorsement, a safety guarantee, or a statement about the quality of any group, its facilitators, or its members. We do not run these groups, do not supervise them, and are not responsible for what happens in them. Groups change hosts, formats, and fees without telling us.
Use your own judgment about any group, particularly around what you share and with whom.
Age
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
Accuracy and availability
We try to keep this accurate and current, and we correct errors when we find them or when readers report them. We do not promise the site is complete, error-free, or continuously available.
External links
We link to public health bodies, support organisations, and other resources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses arising from use of this site or reliance on its content, including decisions made about disclosure, relationships, or health.
Changes
These terms may change. The date at the top reflects the last update.
