Herpes support groups in Boston, Massachusetts

Last updated May 19, 2026

No active in-person herpes support group is currently meeting in Bostonthat I've been able to verify. Below is the full history of what existed and when, with sources for every claim, plus the next steps I can offer right now.

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.
