The purpose of our website

Welcome to the Herpes and Cold Sores Support Forum. This is a site where you can discuss anything relating to herpes and cold sores. We provide free information, communication, awareness and support to anyone who is affected by the herpes virus. We hope that you become empowered and inspired by our community!

We are dedicated to keeping our users' information private. We guarantee that your personal information is not disclosed to ANYONE (including your email).

This board is designed for people affected by herpes and cold sores, to share thoughts and communicate with people who are in similar situations.

Please DO:

• Feel free to be as open, honest and outspoken as you feel you need to be, whilst respecting our community.
• Tell us what you think about our site - your feedback helps us to improve!
• Find the right "catergory" to post your message in. This keeps the conversations flowing smoothly and also helps you to get a quicker and larger response.

Please DO NOT:

• Advertise on this message board, whether directly or indirectly!
• Post messages that are offensive to others in any way.
• Paste multiple copies of your post in different topics (this is considered SPAM)
• Hi-jack another member's conversation. If your reply is not related to a particular discussion, please post a "new thread" rather than replying to someone else's.
• Contact the Board Administrators or HC-Support-Team for enquiries unrelated to the Forum. If you have a question or comment about herpes please post it on the board so that our community can help you. That is what we are here for.
