Foreword

ï’m peased to ave te opportunîty to întroduce tîs book. Wîe ï was revîewîng te manuscrîpt for scîentîIc accuracy and medîca compete-ness, ï was struck by Terrî’s abîîty to accuratey educate er readers about erpes înfectîon wîe reassurîng er audîence tey woud ave fu and satîsfyîng îves în spîte of avîng erpes. ï tînk tîs book wî be very usefu bot to peope wo ave erpes and to tose wo are concerned about erpes în partners or oved ones. Terrî as done an outstandîng job of makîng te book readabe for te ayperson but toroug enoug to be a vauabe resource for profes-sîonas, weter tey are medîca cînîcîans or counseors. As a pysîcîan and erpes researcer, ï Ind ît dîicut to put mysef în te posîtîon of te ayperson tryîng to understand tîs înfectîon for te Irst tîme, but ï’m conIdent tat te book’s down-to-eart stye and we-deIned concepts wî make ît a very accessîbe resource tat readers wî pîck up agaîn and agaîn. Terrî as taken concepts tat wî certaîny be confus-îng to many peope (îke asymptomatîc seddîng of te erpes vîrus) and expaîned tem în ways tat nonmedîca and medîca peope aîke can understand. ï ope provîders wo counse cîents wît erpes wî take note of er approac to tese compex topîcs and use tîs stye în teîr everyday practîce. Armed wît te knowedge gaîned from tîs compassîonate book, readers wît erpes wî be reassured tat tey can cope wît teîr con-dîtîon, and erpes wî take îts approprîate roe as one of tose îssues în îfe tat îs caengîng but can be managed successfuy.
