what can i do to help my partner with genital herpes?
for starters you can understand that having genital herpes isn't all that unusual. if you were to leave your partner to find someone else you'd have nearly a one-in-five chance of meeting another man with genital herpes or about a one-in-four chance of meeting another woman who is infected. if your partner isn't coping well you may want to suggest joining a support group. if you think genital herpes is harming your relationship you could try couple's therapy.
