Herpes viruses are a leading cause of human viral disease, second only to influenza and cold viruses. Gary Richwald and I discuss what it is, a skin infection, it's impact on how people feel about themselves, why the numbers in US are so big, (60 million of which 50 million DO NOT know they have it) what treatment options there are for this lifetime infection are. The veil of shame about any infection that involves sex. People have no problem seeing a cold sore yet that same cold sore genitally causes a reaction.
