Many of my patients who have been diagnosed with genital herpes suffer from psychological and psychosexual morbidity. While there is no cure, many don't realize that there are effective treatment options and lifestyle habits that help patients manage symptoms, reduce the likelihood of infecting partners, and regain confidence when it comes to intimacy. In this episode, Dr. Jackie discusses the two different types of genital herpes, how they can spread to others, ways to prevent, and the latest treatment options. She also gives her P.O.V. on how to best navigate sexual relationships and ways to live with this new norm.
