Info-Herpès is a Québec-based information and support service for people living with the herpes simplex virus, their partners and loved ones, and people at risk of contracting it.

Services include remote support by phone and online, support groups, workshops, a training course for professionals called Herpès 101, and an information brochure. The project also publishes educational content on transmission, prevention, treatment, and the emotional and relational effects of herpes, aiming to reduce stigma and isolation. Support is offered by phone on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 to 15:00. The project is funded by donations made through CanaDon, with tax receipts issued.
