1 HSV1 or HSV2 (genital herpes) can leave someone feeling alone, embarrassed, and confused about how to proceed with their lives. A new website, MeetPositives.com, eliminates those concerns with its anonymous platform that allows people to connect, share their stories and concerns, and find someone special to date.

Can herpes be unknown?

Symptoms. Many people with genital herpes have no symptoms or the symptoms are very mild so they go unnoticed or are mistaken for another skin condition. As a result, most people with genital herpes are unaware that they have the infection. Transmission can occur when the infected partner has no symptoms.
