About
Something Positive
for Positive People
SPFPP is a support & storytelling platform for people navigating herpes stigma. We offer experience-based resources created by people with herpes for people with herpes—helping them feel seen, supported, and informed after diagnosis.
This work began in 2017, when founder Courtney Brame created a podcast to offer hope to those struggling with mental health after testing positive for herpes. Since then, SPFPP has grown into a trusted space for people navigating the emotional and social impacts of living with herpes—especially in the realm of disclosure, dating, and self-worth.
What We Offer

We offer private and secure support calls to talk through diagnosis, disclosure, dating, or anything else on your mind. These are donation-based and open to anyone who needs space to feel heard.
