Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2009

If you have genital herpes, you're not alone. Millions of people lead healthy, sexually active lives with herpes. Although herpes symptoms can be managed with medication and treatment, the stigma associated with the infection can negatively impact self-esteem and become a problem in itself. This complete guide to living with genital herpes, written by internationally recognized herpes expert Terri Warren, addresses every practical issue people with herpes face.

The author offers information on:

  • Understanding herpes symptoms and triggers
  • Knowing your treatment options
  • Reducing the risk of transmission to future sex partners
  • Breaking the news to potential partners

Included in The Good News About the Bad News: Herpes are responses to common questions and concerns based on the author's experiences counseling thousands of people with genital herpes in her sexual health clinic.

WOW, hat's off to Terri Warren, RN, NP! Terri's book tells you everything you could ever want to know about herpes in a caring, girl-friend style dialog filled with absolutely accurate medical information. In a world full of misinformation and false promises of cures, this book is a welcome change. I believe every question that any patient has ever asked me about herpes is answered somewhere within this book. Confused about whether or not your diagnosis is accurate? Not clear where, when or how you caught herpes? Feeling isolated and hopeless about your disease? Terri addresses ALL of these issues within her book. I am a board-certified family physician who has become an expert in sexually transmitted diseases, and I will recommend this book to every single patient that I diagnose with herpes (or who has questions about herpes, especially if their partner has it.) Kudos to Terri Warren for writing such an easily readable, accurate, and helpful book!Seductive Delusions: How Everyday People Catch STDs

As a Family Nurse Practitioner working in women's health, I have found the diagnosis and treatment of herpes especially frustrating. There has always been such confusion surrounding how to screen, treat and counsel patients regarding this emotionally charged disease. Terri Warren has addressed all these issues with years of research and practice as her guide. This book will answer the most common questions posed by patients and providers alike. She gives guidance to the clinician and reassurance to the patient that Herpes is manageable and that patients with this diagnosis have in the past and will in the future live full and rewarding lives. I will be making this book a part of our patient lending library and encouraging fellow providers to do the same. Thank you Terri for sharing your life's work with us.

The End of Mis-Information October 24, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The author has, at last, written a comprehensive yet understandable guide to this virus. I wish this book had been available when I was first diagnosed in 1993. While I learned a lot more about herpes from this book even after all these years of living with it, the book was most valuable to me as a source of information to my current partner, who does not have the virus. After reading the book, she was able to make an informed, knowledgeable decision about becoming physically intimate. She remains free of the virus, due to both precautions and luck, but fully understands the risks and how to minimize them.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has herpes, or knows someone who does and wants to better understand it.
