Welcome

Welcome to the information page for Canada. Here you can find information about patient support groups in Canada.

Support groups provide a place where patients can openly express their feelings with people who share their experience. Being with other people who have genital herpes can give the patient information that is not available anywhere else and can provide the patient with valuable insights to help them cope with herpes, both emotionally and physically.
