If you just got herpes, you need information. So you can either call someone, or buy a book, or go to a local HELP (support) group.

If you would like to order a collection of the diagnosis and treatment papers written by our Medical Director, Dr. H., you may email him HERE. The price of the collected papers is $20 plus $5 shipping.

Your doctor probably gave you some information about herpes. We have discovered that many doctors are not that well informed about herpes and sometimes doctors might not be as sympathetic or understanding as they should be. (Look here to see what we're doing about this!)

If you are like most people, you are a little upset about now. So you need to talk to some people who really understand what you are going through. Right off the bat, you may want to call someone who can just go through everything with you. Here's what we recommend for that:
