Genital herpes
Description
The shock and stigma that often follow a genital herpes diagnosis are difficult to overcome. This program deals with the physical side of the disease-explaining how it is contracted, how it manifests itself, and how it can be treated-as well as its social and emotional impact. Interviews with distinguished medical professionals shed light on specific developments in the fight against genital herpes, including the advent of powerful antiviral drugs, the special needs of pregnant women, and the relationship between herpes and HIV. Additional commentary from a psychologist who counsels herpes sufferers reinforces one patient's insistence that "there is life after herpes.
