Real Talk. Real Help. No Judgment

Three years ago, I received an HSV diagnosis and felt like my life was over. The shame, confusion, and outdated information were overwhelming. The medical facts were manageable, but there was nothing addressing the real challenges men face—the identity crisis, dating anxiety, and isolation. All I found were Reddit threads and cold, clinical websites.

I spent three years researching, interviewing men with lived experience, studying WHO and CDC guidelines, and building a complete framework for thriving—not just surviving—with HSV. I created this series to be the comprehensive, one-stop resource I wished I’d had when I was in the same situation.

Modern HSV Playbook isn’t generic health advice. It’s practical, evidence-based guidance written specifically for men who want clarity, confidence, and their lives back.
