Herpes Help Facts
-
You weren't singled out. Herpes is estimated to affect some 80 million people in America. At least one in six adults in the United States has genital herpes.
- Get more information. The better informed you are about herpes, the easier it will be to manage.
- Give yourself the best possible chance to limit recurrences by maintaining general good health and keeping stress to a minimum.
- Take care of the affected skin area. Keep the area dry and clean during outbreaks to help healing.
- Avoid physical contact with the area from the time of the first symptoms (tingling, itching, burning) until all sores are completely healed, not just scabbed-over.
- Prevent self-infection to other areas of your body. Wash your hands with soap and water if you touch a sore. Better yet, don't touch the sores.
- Prospective parents: If either mother or father has genital herpes, or any of the mother's previous sexual partners had genital herpes, tell your doctor about it.
- Women with genital herpes: Don't skip your annual Pap smear.
- Herpes is spread by direct contact.
