Herpes: Kissing
built 655 days ago
Parents appeared to have excellent recall of age of onset and dermatome affected by herpes zoster in their children. Of those parents interviewed by telephone concerning an affirmative response to herpes zoster, all but one parent indicated that prior to seeking healthcare, symptoms of herpes zoster (shingles) were largely unknown. Parents= learning experience at the physician’s office, combined with the fact that shingles was considered to be a rare event in children, likely contributed to enhanced memory of the event.

Remember, herpes can be spread even when you don't have symptoms. Using latex barriers (condoms, dental dams, gloves) even when you don't have symptoms may reduce the risk of spreading herpes, but does not provide complete protection against herpes.

Healthcare providers in busy clinics often don't have the time (or training) to fully deal with the emotional aspects of herpes, leading many patients to search for support from resources such as ASHA's network of HELP Groups. Toronto HELP, one of the oldest and most established groups affiliated with ASHA, has long offered its members a comprehensive slate of services to address questions about herpes and to make coping with the psychosocial impact easier.

The experience and support of other people with herpes can be extremely valuable. Support groups for people with herpes exist in some countries and have the objective of providing support and education to people with herpes (see Support Groups section of the website).
