looks like the links on the forum to valuable resources are gone.
The free herpes handbook by Terri Warren, medhelp's herpes expert is a terrific resource to learn more about herpes at! http://westoverheights.com/handbook.html
if you have been diagnosed with herpes, I highly recommend purchasing her book "the good news about the bad news". It goes into more details than her free handbook does and especially covers the psychological side of living with a lifelong infection. you can buy it on amazon reasonably priced :)
hopefully this post gets bumped up regularly for new posters :)
