If
you're newly diagnosed, you probably have a lot of questions. Don't stress! You are not alone! According to the
American Social Health Association
(ASHA)
“One in five Americans has genital herpes.”
“More than five million people are infected with HPV each year.”
"One in four men and one in five women in the USA has genital herpes."
Your questions and concerns can be best addressed at an
ASHA
supported
HELP
group meeting. Don't worry! These meetings are confidential!
Ohio
has three herpes
HELP groups and one HPV help group. Ohio's
HELP Groups are
certified by the American Social Health Association
to distribute informational
literature and provide support for members of the H community.
HELP groups
generally meet once a month, and may feature discussion circles, speakers,
and an opportunity to make contact with other members of the H community. Click
