We all know that there are are many doctors who are not sympathetic
to the ongoing needs of patients diagnosed with herpes. They
tell the patient that they have herpes, hand them a prescription,
and send them on their way. Often, the patient is in terrible
emotional distress over the news and does not know where to
turn.
But as we know, there are many resources for herpes sufferers
out there - it is just that the doctor has not informed the
patient about these. THEREFORE, this page is designed to assist
people in locating doctors who are willing to maintain and
pass on better information to their patients. www.diagnology.com
is the home of the company that produces the POCkit test,
which is a type specific test for type 2 HSV. Go to their
website at www.diagnology.com
and check out their growing nationwide list of physicians
around America who will provide testing for HSV.

In return for agreeing to provide this information, a doctor
can be listed here in a searchable list with name, city/state.
and phone number. Obviously, this will not help YOU, as you
probably already have that information if you are here. However,
the intention is for doctors to give the information out to
patients who have not found the information by other means.
This is an area of ongoing development for us. If any doctors
or other medical practitioners would like to sign up for this
section, please do so by sending an email to Dr. H. HERE
with the following information: Name, medical specialty, city/state,
phone, email, and contact information for your nearest ASHA
HELP group (to prove that you've looked it up). We'll get
the list started and formalize the specific details as soon
as we have you set up.
