Worried that you have herpes? Just discovered you have herpes and want to know how it will affect your life? Read on… “We’re living happily and healthily with herpes. We want to show you how YOU can too!”

Dear friend.

If you’re concerned that you may have herpes, or if you have just discovered that you do, don’t worry. It’s not as bad as you think. How do we know, you ask? About three years ago, Sue and I discovered that we have herpes. We went through all the emotions that you are going through right now. We did exactly what you are doing right now as well – we scoured the internet and libraries for as much information as possible about herpes and how it might affect our lives. We went through the same fear and panic and countless other feelings that you are probably experiencing right now, but we want you to know that it’s not as bad as you think. And, more importantly, we want you to have all your questions about herpes answered as simply and quickly as possible so that you can go back to living your normal life. We have the answers – and we’re going to share them with you.

But first, let us introduce ourselves and explain a little bit about our story… We, are Phil and Sue Waters, and we both have herpes. It came to our attention when Sue noticed a reddish area of skin on her body, which progressed into sores, but after a week or two went away. Sue thought nothing of it because the symptoms disappeared – she thought it was just a skin irritation. A few months later though, the irritation came back, in exactly the same location, so we took more notice of it this time. The first thing that came to mind though was that it was just some kind of fungal infection – something like dermatitis or tinea. So off to the drug store Sue went to get some anti-fungal cream. After application of the cream, the skin irritation once again disappeared, so we thought we had found the solution.

Yet another few months later though, it came back. Sue applied more cream thinking we obviously hadn’t completely dealt with the issue last time. On this occasion though, the problem didn’t subside as quickly as it had previously – the cream didn’t seem to be working. Embarassed, Sue didn’t really want to go to see a doctor – but with some encouragement, she decided it would be best to do so. On meeting with the doctor, Sue was shocked to learn that there was a possibility that the symtoms she was experiencing might associated with a herpes infection. She was devastated. It just wasn’t even a possibility that she had considered. All this had to be confirmed with a test of course, and unfortunately for Sue, the result came back positive......
