Herpes support groups in San Jose, California

Last updated May 19, 2026

I haven't found an active in-person herpes support group meeting in San Joseas of 2026. Here's the complete historical record I've been able to assemble for San Jose, with sources. Below are the next steps I can offer right now.

The historical record for San Jose

San Jose is part of the greater San Francisco Bay Area covered by Bay Area Friends (the active Meetup-based group with ~1,900 members and distributed events across the Bay). No dedicated San Jose HELP chapter is documented in ASHA archives.

Where to go from here

Most of the in-person network that existed twenty years ago has either gone dormant or quietly folded. Here's where to go from here.

  1. Get the recording + join the waitlist

    Sign up below and I'll send you a recording of one of my past virtual support group calls so you can hear what the format was like. I'm not running virtual groups right now, but if enough interest builds up, I'll launch one and you'll be the first to know.

    You'll get the recording and my free toolkit in your confirmation email, plus a heads-up if a virtual group launches. Joins my main email list. No spam, unsubscribe anytime.

  2. Read the ebook + handouts (free)

    The disclosure ebook walks through the conversation step by step. The handouts cover body anxiety, relationship questions, and the long-term identity work. Same starting point I use with my one-on-one coaching clients.

  3. Work with me one-on-one

    When self-paced isn't enough, my private coaching is the deeper option. The 25-minute discovery call is $75 (33% off the regular session rate) and it's the lowest-friction way to see if we're a fit.
