Metro Detroit HELP (MDH) is a support group for people with herpes and HPV. We offer support, information, understanding, and sharing of personal experience in a non-judgmental atmosphere. MDH, established in 1980, is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Herpes Resource Center, an American Sexual Health Association (ASHA) program.

If you have genital herpes, you are far from alone. Infection with Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV2), the virus which is the most common cause of genital herpes, is a lot more common than you might think. Some estimates say that one in four people in the USA or 25 percent of the population is infected with HSV2. Please contact us and join us at our monthly meetings. We look forward to seeing you there.

Notice: There will be no Detroit meeting in July due to the meeting date falling on the holiday.
The next meeting will be Thursday, August 1st.

American Sexual Health Association

The American Sexual Health Assocation is a trusted source of reliable information on sexual health and sexually transmitted diseases and infections.

Sexual health is about much more than body parts and infections. It’s a key part of our overall health and no wonder, since it affects our minds and bodies, families and communities, even our spirits. Sexual health touches on everything from the quality of our relationships to what goes on when we visit the medical clinic. It involves talking to our kids about safer sex, giving and getting respect from our partner, and recognizing we have a right to the sheer joy of pleasure.
