Product Description
The much-discussed spread of AIDS has increased awareness of sexually transmitted diseases. But awareness of AIDS is sometimes at the expense of less well-known but increasingly important conditions.

The first section answers common questions about sexually transmitted diseases and there are chapters on each of the major conditions including gonorrhea, syphilis, AIDS, hepatitis, chlamydia, herpes and genital warts. There is also a section on minor conditions. The book aims to de-stigmatize sexually transmitted diseases and the author argues that social responsibility is a necessary adjunct to sexual liberation.

From the supplier: Genital herpes, as of 1997, can be treated but not cured, and is usually contracted through genital-genital contact. Herpes simplex virus type 1 is usually transmitted through oral-genital contact. Genital herpes is not reported in Canada as a sexually transmitted disease, but clinical reports suggest it is widespread. Transmission risk is affected by lack of condom use. The spread of this disease can be controlled by public education, cost/benefit analysis of therapy, improved screening tests, and planning for the eventual use of a vaccine.
