Readable and informative
I found the book very easy to read, and it provided a wealth of information. It not only outlines what Herpes is but offers insight into how and why people respond as they do when they find out they have it. It also covers how to tell a potential partner and, more importantly, how to limit the risk of transmission.

Awsome Resource
As an STD Patient Advocate and as a person living with herpes, I have personally handed copies of this book to several people who have been diagnosed with herpes.
I believe that it provides a clear overview of the herpes virus, the risks, the treatment options, the preventative measures and so forth.
When a person is newly diagnosed, they can become overwhelmed with all the misleading information and even horrific photos they may find on the internet. This book is a means to minimize the confusion.
If you are looking for a resource that explains the virus fully, this is it! If you are looking for a book that explains how best to live with herpes, check out Dr. Ruth's new book -- Dr. Ruth's Guide to Talking About Herpes.
Two books that anyone with herpes won't want to be without!

Managing Herpes
This book is awful. The name should be called should be called "Sugar Coating the Bitter Pill of Herpes" or "Herpes; Your Sex Life Does Not Have to Change at All" If you have herpes one should not have unprotected sex outside of marriage. This book does not endorse this practice. I realy don't understand how the so called M.D.'s that wrote this book can live with the fact that every other page of this book does not say "If you have herpes do not have unprotected sex!!!!". The woman who gave me herpes said there were risks but I did not have to wear a condom. This book is filled with similar propoganda. Her excusses must have come straight out of this book. "..it can be recesive for along time, you may have already had it..", "..at least I told you, and I was not maliscious..". If you care about not spreading herpes, this is book is not to be read.

A well written informative guide
I have had herpes for 11 years and I highly recommend this book to anybody that has herpes or has a partner that has herpes. It does a pretty good job of answering your questions. It covers both the medical and emotional issues of coping with herpes.
