For most people, the diagnosis of genital herpes (Herpes Simplex Virus 2 or HSV2) comes as a shock. For others, the diagnosis may simply be a confirmation of suspicions they have had about their health or their partner’s sexual behavior. Trying to answer the question of how the patient contracted the condition often leads to a search for blame and then self-recrimination. Living with herpes is something that initially may take some psychological adjustment for some patients. It need not mean the end of your sex life or that you will need to remain celibate for the rest of your life.
