Edmonton H Pal
My name is Chris and
I have been infected with HSV2 for 5 years now. When first
contracting the virus I felt very down and out, always thinking that
no one was ever going to want to be with me again. I started
researching it finding out all of the information I could on how
this was going to change my life.
Years later I have
come to embrace herpes as a part of my life, and a part of who I am.
I have learned that herpes has not changed my life and I am still
the same person I was before. I am very open with my condition and
have told all my friends and family. I have had very positive
reactions when telling others that I have herpes, and none of my
partners, friends or family has ever rejected me for having herpes.
I have founded the
only herpes support group in Edmonton called “ The Big H Support
Group” there are a few place you can find us: the first being on
face book, you can search for us under, “the big h support group”.
The second is on herpes-coldsore.com under the name, “Edmonton
herpes support group”.
The goal of “The big
H support group” is to provide a social group for other to meet
people that share our common problem, and also to provide support
and information to the newly infected individuals. Our social group
meets once a month at local places around the city of Edmonton, and
is designed to be a fun social environment for everyone. Information
on when and where our group meets is posted on our group pages on
face book and herpes-coldsore.com.
My personal goal is
to provide support to others in need with herpes, and until I
created the Edmonton support group there was just nowhere you could
get help in Edmonton. You are not alone. I’m trying to bring more
awareness to the herpes community and show others that it’s ok to
let people know that you have herpes, and that those people won’t
judge you for having it, and if they do, then you really don’t need
a friend like that. People have to accept you for who you really
are, and you have to accept who you really are. Don’t be afraid to
let others know. Once you accept yourself and your condition you
will be at peace with yourself and having herpes will no longer
affect your self-esteem.
Please feel free to
contact me anytime.
