Herpes Simplex IT has reach-

epidemic proportions.
While it can be extremely
painful and a_ psychological
nightmare, it is not considered
a fatal disease. The sores do
not spread to other parts of the
body. A woman -with genital
hei can have a healthy
id if she works with her-
obstetrician and follows his in-
structions.
That's the good news. The
bad news ia that you may have -

blamed ‘your sweetheart un- —

justly. My consultants tell me
at in rare cases It is possible -
to ae genital herpes without
having sexual intercourse, So
maybe you'd better reconsider
an give hima call. I should
also tell. you that sexual rela-
tions can be. safely resumed
‘when both parties are free of
the sores.
