Herpes.Org is developing a set of informational documents
for use by doctors, therapists, clinics, etc, to provide a
support framework for patients recently diagnosed with herpes.
Until these documents are available, we suggest that as a
minimum, patients be provided with the following information:
| 1. |
Two telephone hotlines are available:
• The Herpes Resource Center Hotline:
(919) 361-8488
• The CDC STD Hotline: (800) 227-8922
|
| 2. |
Contact information for the nearest ASHA HELP support
group List
of HELP Groups
|
| 3. |
The web address of THIS website: http://www.herpes.org/
|
As an encouragement to medical professionals to provide this
kind of information to their patients, we are developing a
list of "patient-friendly doctors". Simply, if doctors
are willing to provide this information to their patients,
we will list them in our database. For details of this, see
here.
