6 mins read

Living with HSV can feel isolating, especially in a world where misinformation, stigma, and silence still exist. Hsvbuddies was created to change that narrative by offering education, empathy, and real human connection. One of the most powerful ways we do that is through shared stories and informed voices from people who truly understand the experience.

If you are passionate about reducing stigma, supporting emotional well-being, or educating others about herpes in a respectful, accurate way, we invite you to write for Hsvbuddies. Your words can help someone feel less alone, more confident, and better informed.

Our Mission: Why Hsvbuddies Publishes Community Voices

Hsvbuddies exists to reduce stigma and promote understanding around HSV through education, empathy, and shared experience. We are not here to sensationalise health conditions or promote fear-based narratives. Instead, our goal is to publish content that helps readers feel grounded, respected, and empowered.

Every article we share aims to:

  • Replace myths with clear, factual information

  • Normalise conversations around HSV

  • Support emotional wellbeing and self-confidence

  • Encourage respectful, informed relationships

  • Create a safe, inclusive space for diverse experiences

Words matter. A thoughtful article can help someone move from panic to clarity, from shame to self-acceptance, or from isolation to connection.

Who Should Write for Hsvbuddies?

We welcome contributions from people across backgrounds, professions, and cultures. You do not need to be a professional writer to submit an article. What matters most is honesty, care, and responsibility.

  • A sexual health educator or public health communicator

  • A counsellor, therapist, or mental-health advocate

  • A relationship or dating writer

  • A wellness blogger or peer-support advocate

  • An ally writing with accuracy, respect, and empathy

Lived experience is highly valued. Professional expertise is welcome. Both are powerful when shared responsibly.

Our Editorial Standards (E-E-A-T Focused)

Personal stories should be genuine and reflective, not sensationalized. If you are sharing lived experience, honesty and emotional clarity are key.
