HPV Resources
=
I am new to NYC. I just moved here from LA, and I am not very familiar with the resources available here. Is there a support group in the area for people with HPV? I would like something geared specifically towards women or young people. Thanks for your help.

There are actually several good options for you...
American Social Health Association (ASHA)
ASHA hosts a chat-room for people with HPV; it is moderated by a facilitator, and has proven to be a great way to connect with supportive people in the
privacy of your own home. The chat takes place Monday through Friday, from 5-6pm. For more information, send an e-mail to hpvnet@ashastd.org.
Planned Parenthood of New York
Planned Parenthood has offices in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx and, as I understand it, they were recently recruiting people to form an HPV support group. For more information, you can check out their website or give them a call at 212.274.7200.
Other great resources to have:
New York Health Department (NYHD)
phone: 212.788.4415
National STD and AIDS Hotline
phone: 1.800.227.8922
Once your find yourself a support system that you are comfortable with, let us know if your group would like to host a safer sex workshop. We have a wonderful community outreach program through our New York store, and all the events are completely free of charge. Give us a call at 212.691.9442 and ask for Joy Lynn.
