Herpes support groups in Virginia

Last updated May 19, 2026

As of 2026, there's no active in-person herpes support group meeting that I can verify in Virginia. There used to be more. I've documented every chapter that existed, when it ran, and the moment its presence disappeared from the record. Below are 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.

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.
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.

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.

The history: groups that used to meet in Virginia

The ASHA HELP network covered Virginiafor years. Below is every chapter I've been able to document, with sources. If any of these still meet and I've marked them defunct in error, tell me on the group page and I'll update the record.

Richmond HELP. Richmond

Hosted by Fan Free Clinic (now Health Brigade) in Richmond. The host org still exists but discontinued the dedicated HELP group.

Rappahannock HELP (Fredericksburg). Fredericksburg

Rappahannock HELP covered the Fredericksburg corridor between Richmond and the DC suburbs, running out of (540) 371-0934 at the 2008 ASHA HELP network peak. It sat alongside Richmond HELP as Virginia's two ASHA chapters. By 2026 there's no working contact for the chapter and no ASHA listing. If you're in central Virginia between Richmond and the DC line, the waitlist below is the active option, and the Richmond HELP entry (also defunct) gives the parallel historical context.
