- Understanding Herpes (Understanding Health and Sickness Series)
- by Lawrence Raymond Stanberry
- Has chapters that fully described herpes and it's transmission.
Scientific and complete with it's facts and vaccine information...
but the writing is a bit on the dry site though. Still it's a
great source of clinical medical information and fact.
- The author is a doctor. He coveres covers home remedies with
an open mind. The section on home remedies is useful for helping
identify what actually works and what is a waste of time and money.
- Does a good job explaining basic clinical facts and some lesser
known clinical information about herpes, transmission, symptoms,
treatment, etc.
- Offers perspectives which surprisingly contradict some commonly
held ideas about the transmission of herpes and what is "safe"
and "not safe"... making the book a bit scary.
- Deals with the legal aspects of disclosure, including a case
where someone who was lied to about a partner's STD status was
awarded $600,000 in damages for pain and suffering, given the
lifetime effects of herpes transmitted without honest disclosure.
