If you have genital herpes, you''re not alone. Millions of people lead healthy, sexually active lives with herpes. Although herpes symptoms can be managed with medication and treatment, the stigma associated with the infection can negatively impact self-esteem and become a problem in itself.

The author offers information on:

ā€¢Understanding herpes symptoms and triggers
ā€¢Knowing your treatment options
ā€¢Reducing the risk of transmission to future sex partners

Included in The Good News About the Bad News: Herpes are responses to common questions and concerns based on the author''s experiences counseling thousands of people with genital herpes in her sexual health clinic.
