Post-diagnosis handout + post-disclosure handout


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey you awesome community! There's been a lot of talk on here about herpes stats and questions about herpes transmission and what to share during the herpes talk. So, I've been hard at work compiling and synthesizing information into 2 separate handouts for you to make everything clear for both you and your potential partners.

 

1. Post-diagnosis handout: Especially for those who are newly diagnosed (and for everyone else for that matter) with all those question marks floating around in your head. There are a lot of conflicting stats out there. This is all the high-level information you should know right off the bat.

2. Post-disclosure handout: This is a "cheat sheet" that you can use after a disclosure to answer all of those questions your potential partner will have about the risks associated with herpes transmission.

Used the link to the post disclosure handout today :). It was awesome!!! I need to share the response I received with you guys....

"4% with NO condom?? 4%?!?! That's not so scary at all! I probably have a higher chance of being hit by a bus". LOL....oooookay, perfect!

Anyway, thank you for these awesome handouts Adrial!!!

This is wonderful. I'm planning to take them to work (Planned Parenthood) and hand them out to patients. They are so dejected and horrified when they receive a positive diagnosis. This will be really helpful for them!

Thanks so much Adrial. Awesome job. It is to the point, easy to read and absorb and it puts the facts right out there. I have saved these gems and will be referring to them and passing them along. Thanks for helping us all to see the gift in this opportunity that Herpes is and also to empower us to get out there, LIVE joyfully, to educate and to realize how we can use this experience to connect, grow, heal and really become a better version of who we are! :) You rock my dear!
