Common questions
What people want to know before they start
Who is HerpesDatingNC for?+
The site is written for North Carolina adults age 18 and older who are navigating HSV-1 or HSV-2 in dating. It is a focused starting point, not a substitute for compatibility, consent, or medical care.
Do health details have to appear on a public profile?+
Share only what the registration service requires and what you are comfortable making visible. Keep your full name, workplace, address, and routine locations out of public profile text.
Where can I find confidential STI services in North Carolina?+
North Carolina local health departments and partner programs offer confidential services. Contact the location directly to confirm which tests and services are available.
Can people with herpes have healthy relationships?+
Yes. HSV does not decide whether a relationship can be caring, committed, or satisfying. Clear communication, mutual consent, compatible goals, and professional medical guidance for health questions all matter more than a diagnosis alone.
When should I tell a new partner that I have herpes?+
Have the conversation before sexual contact, in a private and unhurried setting where both people can ask questions and make an informed choice. You do not need to disclose in your first message or before you know whether there is mutual interest.
