New Features

Personal Risk Awareness Module

Want to know who is most at risk of getting genital herpes? This new 15-minute interactive module may help you whether you are a healthcare professional or a patient. Available in both audio and text modes, the module explains how to minimise the risk of acquiring the herpes simplex virus, its more typical signs and symptoms and what to do next. It also contains information about new diagnostic tests for herpes, which may help discussions between patient and doctor.

Information on Diagnostic Testing for GPs

To complement the Personal Risk Assessment Module we have increased the information in the Health Professionals section on diagnosing genital herpes in clinical practice and the diagnostic tests currently available.
