When I heard about Living Sphere on Triple J earlier I registered my interest immediately for the dating section. I have found the Living Sphere site informative, easy to use and joy of joys, I met a lovely person with whom I am now in a relationship.

Your vision and work gave me hope for a future without fear of rejection because I have herpes. Now I can focus on what it takes to have a loving and workable relationship. Thank you again Jeannie.

When no aid group or Goverment Health agency does it, it always takes a person with the affliction to show what needs to be done and lead the way!

Finally there is a simple to read and understand book that gives you much more than you would hope to find in any publication or communicative form of media. Whilst the medical explanation of what HSV has been finally compiled in a simplistic form covering the A-Z, it’s the real life stories that will help you finally understand HSV and learn how to ‘live’ with it.

The coping strategies are invaluable – with a non curable disease, understanding that it will not disappear is essential. ‘Beyond’ contracting HSV is often dealt with vaguely and we are not educated to deal with any of this, but through learning from others experiences we can make a difference in our lives and help in the struggle to lessen the undeserved stigma of this virus.

Finding this site has changed my whole perspective overnight. Literally. I no longer feel isolated by my condition and it feels like a safe place to share my feelings, ask questions, be myself, move forward!
