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.

Product Description
Psychovenereology investigates the psychological factors in human disease (i.e. personality and lifestyle) and their effect on the rate of contraction of sexually transmitted diseases.
