I hope these links are helpful to any of you who choose to use them. They are not the "be all and end all" of herpes info but there's a lot of very helpful information in them.

The key to healing is knowledge and finding the ability to talk about your herpes & HPV with others! Share Education and Your Knowledge with those around you! Silence is the cage you have created for you with your Herpes & HPV and talking is your key to Freedom!
