Book Description
With 20 percent of the American population now carrying the virus that causes genital herpes, the revised edition of this book, first published in 1994 by a nonprofit organization dedicated to stopping sexually transmitted diseases, is timely and welcome. Written for lay readers, it provides the latest information on the diagnosis and treatment of genital herpes as well as balanced, supportive advice on living with this chronic disease. The author is very reassuring as he tells readers that normal life, including sexual relationships and childbearing, is possible and that several options are available for managing outbreaks. He stresses the importance of open communication and safe sex practices.

Book Description
Making Peace with Herpes is the most thought-provoking and original book ever written on the subject of herpes. Christopher Scipio started off as a victim of the virus and transformed himself into one of the most experienced holistic practitioners who treats herpes in North America. He is an outspoken advocate of treatment without drug therapy". While it is a subject that many people would rather avoid, Scipio points out that 60% of the sexually active population in North America has either herpes simplex 1 or 2. "70% of the people who have it either don't know they have it, won't admit they have it or are not treating it," Scipio explains "For some people having herpes can make you feel like a leper. There are no public fundraisers or celebrity spokespersons championing the cause of herpes. In fact you would be hard-pressed to get anyone to admit in public that they have 'the gift.' " "The good news and the ironic news is that herpes is one of the easiest diseases to manage naturally. There is absolutely no need for drug-therapy for herpes. This book isn't just about how to have fewer outbreaks or how to stop having outbreaks; just doing that isn't enough to be healthy. This book is about holistically healing your herpes and living a healthy, happy and balanced life. Holistic health is about much more than making symptoms go away." Making Peace with Herpes is a must read for everyone. Whether you have herpes, are in a relationship with someone with herpes or you just want to educate yourself on the worlds fastest growing pandemic; it's a self-empowerment guide of the first order.

Book Description
This comprehensive account of the human herpesviruses provides an encyclopedic overview of their basic virology and clinical manifestations. This group of viruses includes human simplex type 1 and 2, Epstein–Barr virus, Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, cytomegalovirus, HHV6A, 6B and 7, and varicella-zoster virus. The viral diseases and cancers they cause are significant and often recurrent. Their prevalence in the developed world accounts for a major burden of disease, and as a result there is a great deal of research into the pathophysiology of infection and immunobiology. Another important area covered within this volume concerns antiviral therapy and the development of vaccines. All these aspects are covered in depth, both scientifically and in terms of clinical guidelines for patient care. The text is illustrated generously throughout and is fully referenced to the latest research and developments.

Book Description
I know you're going through a tough time right now. A herpes diagnosis can feel like the end of the world, especially when you're young and already dealing with so much. Trust me, I've been there. When I first found out I had herpes, I was terrified. I thought my life was over - that I'd never be able to have a normal relationship, that I'd be rejected and judged at every turn. I felt dirty, ashamed, and utterly alone. But here's the thing - those fears and beliefs? They're based on myths and misinformation. The reality is, herpes is incredibly common. It doesn't mean you're promiscuous or irresponsible. It doesn't make you any less worthy of love and respect. And it certainly doesn't have to limit your life. How do I know? Because I've lived it. I've walked the path you're on now, and I've come out the other side stronger, wiser, and more at peace with myself than I ever thought possible. And I want to share that journey with you. In these pages, I offer you the guidance, support, and hard-won wisdom that I wish I'd had when I was first diagnosed. I give you the facts about herpes - what it is, how it's transmitted, how to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of spreading it to partners. But more than that, I show you how to thrive in the face of this virus. Through my own stories and those of other herpes-positive teens, you'll see that a diagnosis is not a death sentence for your relationships, your sexuality, or your dreams. You'll learn how to disclose your status with confidence, how to navigate the dating world, and how to build a support system of people who love and accept you just as you are. But perhaps most importantly, you'll discover the incredible power of self-acceptance. Because here's the secret that no one tells you: the biggest obstacle to living well with herpes isn't the virus itself. It's the shame, fear, and self-doubt that come with it. Throughout this book, I'll help you challenge those negative beliefs and cultivate a new narrative - one of resilience, empowerment, and unconditional self-worth. You'll learn to see your diagnosis not as a limitation, but as an opportunity for growth and transformation. Because here's the truth: you are so much more than your herpes status. You are a whole, vibrant, amazing human being with unique gifts and a bright future ahead of you. This virus is just one small part of your story - it doesn't define you, and it sure as hell doesn't get to dictate your happiness. So if you're ready to take control of your health, your relationships, and your life, this book is your invitation. It's your companion on the journey to self-love and acceptance. It's your reminder that you are not alone, you are not broken, and you are absolutely unstoppable. All you have to do is turn the page and take the first step. I'll be with you every step of the way, cheering you on and reminding you of your inherent worth and wisdom. Together, we'll rewrite the narrative around herpes and what it means to live with this virus. We'll shatter the stigma and prove that a diagnosis is not the end of your story - it's just the beginning of a new chapter, one of resilience, self-discovery, and unapologetic self-love. You, my friend, are a survivor. A warrior. A badass in every sense of the word. And with this book as your guide, you'll have the tools and the confidence to face anything that comes your way - in your health, your relationships, and your wildest, most audacious dreams. So what do you say? Are you ready to take this journey with me? To claim your power and your birthright to a life of joy, love, and limitless possibility? Let's do this.

Book Description
Herpes is a common viral infection that affects millions of people worldwide. In fact, it is estimated that approximately one in six adults in the United States is infected with genital herpes, while up to 90% of the population has been exposed to the virus that causes cold sores. Herpes can affect people of all ages and backgrounds, but it is most commonly diagnosed in individuals between the ages of 14 and 49. The virus is more prevalent among women than men, and among African Americans compared to other racial and ethnic groups. Despite its prevalence, herpes is often surrounded by stigma and misinformation. Many people with herpes feel isolated and ashamed, which can make it difficult to seek the medical treatment and support they need. This book aims to break down the barriers of stigma and provide readers with accurate information about herpes, its management, and its impact on daily life. By providing a comprehensive guide to understanding and managing herpes outbreaks, this book empowers readers to take control of their health and well-being.
