The herpes virus is far more common than most people realize. Researchers estimate that some 30 million American adults have genital herpes infections, and as many as 100 million have oral herpes - that commonly cause "cold sores" on the lips or face. The epidemic rise of herpes simplex in the past decade has attracted the attention of the press from time to time. The stories have sometimes spread more fear than information and created more questions than answers.
For many, diagnosis with herpes can mean a time of confusion, anger, fear, and frustration. HELP IS AVAILABLE.
The Herpes Resource Center (HRC), a program of the American Social Health Association, sponsors nearly 100 local support groups in the United States and Canada.(see Links section)
