Herpes advice: 1. DO talk to your partner(s) -it's only fair... 2. DO talk to your doctor - there are antiviral options available 3. DO try to avoid stress. Stress only helps the virus- and you may get an outbreak 4. DO use barrier protection - although recognize it's not exactly 100% effective for a number of reasons 5. DON'T blame yourself - herpes is very common and many people don't know they have it.
