There is a serious question that troubles many couples who are suffering from a herpes infection. One partner may resent being avoided, while the other may feel torn because herpes has prevented him/her from becoming intimate to the other partner again. Herpes, as we know, is a
sexually transmitted disease incurred by direct contact with an infected person.
The sure way to have peace of mind is to
prevent herpes altogether. However, for those who have already acquired the disease, whether young or old, should resort to therapy to suppress this "creeping" disease.
Antiviral drugs taken during a certain period of time can cut off the further spread of the disease.
