Book excerpt: Herpes treatment and outbreak tracking journal Herpes is a lifelong infection. Fortunately, the signs and symptoms are often mild, and the illness will not take too much of a toll on ones lifestyle. However, different individuals are affected differently, react to different triggers, and respond better to different treatments. For that reason, many doctors recommend keeping a journal or logbook to track your outbreaks in detail. By tracking your outbreaks, you can determine what triggers your outbreaks, and the best method of treatment to clear up these outbreaks in a quick and efficient manner. This journal has been specifically designed for herpes patients, and contains all required information to adequately track your outbreaks and determine the best lifestyle to minimise outbreaks, and the best treatments for when these outbreaks occur. Tracking your outbreaks also leads to arguably the more important factor of reducing transmission rates. Once you are familiar with your outbreaks, you will be more likley to pick up on them early, and thus sustain from sex early enough to avoid transmission. Minimising transmission is an important factor that all those with herpes must strive for. By showing this journal to your partner, you can prove you are serious about your efforts to prevent transmission, and thus operate under a greater level of trust. What does this journal track?: Date of first symptoms, date of first signs, end of signs, and total length of each outbreak Symptom tracker (Convenient checklist) Description of affected areas - this may change from outbreak to outbreak so is important to track Possible triggers that lead to the outbreak Any actions and treatments taken Daily log - for monitoring outbreak and treatments over days and comparing between previous outbreaks Tips for using this journal: It is crucial that you provide as much detail as possible. The more detail you include, the better you will be able to track your outbreaks and determine the best course of action for yourself If you are working with a doctor, this information will be highly beneficial to them. Do not be afraid to take this to your doctor, who will be able to interpret the results and recommend the best actions for the future. Use it daily during outbreaks (Do not wait until the end of the outbreaks) - this will give you the most accurate data to work with Do not be afraid of 'false alarms' - start using when you think you may be having an outbreak. If it does not turn out to be one, you will better know the signs of false alarms Book Features: 6 x 9 inch - perfect convenient size 2 pages per outbreak 68 pages - enough for 34 outbreaks (With an average of 4-5 outbreaks per year, and many only having outbreaks for the first 5 years, this should last until the end of your outbreaks) Perfect bound, soft cover Discrete title Printed on white paper Check out HSV logbooks for different cover designs that may be more suitable for you. What is herpes? Herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) which shows as sores or blisters on the genitals. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSV Type I is more common on the mouth in the form of cold sores and HSV Type II on the genitals, but both viruses can infect the mouth and genital area. Genital herpes is spread by skin-to-skin contact with someone who has the virus, including contact with infected skin during sex.
