You and Me and HSV

A safe place to land after a STI diagnosis

Yes, 100% you can!

A diagnosis doesn't mean the end of your sex life. There are no infections that stop you from ever having sex again. You might need to pause or change things up for a bit, but rest assured your sex life doesn't have to end here.

Sooooo, will I ever be able to have sex again?

Yes, 100% you can!

Hi, I'm Michelle,

Welcome to You and Me and HSV!

I created this space to be a safe, non-judgemental sanctuary for anyone needing support after an STI diagnosis.

Regardless of your gender, sexuality, culture, or profession, you’re welcome here.

Even though it may not feel like it right now, a diagnosis is just one chapter in your life, not your whole story.

While the physical symptoms of STIs can be uncomfortable, it’s often the psychological weight (the confusion, fear, or shame) that hit the hardest.

Let’s get you back to feeling confident, in control and feeling like yourself again.

Your journey, your path. Where do you want to start?

I just got my results and I'm freaking out
