Herpes Guide

Herpes Guide is a comprehensive guide to herpes, its treatment, and daily care. Herpes virus infections are extremely common in both men and women. HSV-1 which primarily causes cold sores, and HSV-2 which is associated with genital herpes are both addressed in detail.


The herpes virus is extremely common, and often very misunderstood by the public. A large part of the misunderstanding stems from the fact that for many people, the symptoms typical of an infection are suppressed by the body. They are asymptomatic carriers of a virus, and are often for this reason, unaware that they are infected, passing the virus to others. Topics discussed include:

  • Why some get cold sores while others don’t
  • Can herpes be cured?
  • Neonatal herpes
  • Asymptomatic shedding and transmission
  • Facts and Triggers

Herpes Guide should be an important reference for anyone who has a herpes infection, or is living with someone who has a herpes infection.
