With quality information, people with genital herpes can take more control and start coping with their condition. The International Herpes Alliance (IHA) is releasing internationally relevant, independently endorsed information leaflets about genital herpes as the first step in a programme of educational resources that will be appearing on this website over the coming months.

The materials have been written in collaboration with people who have genital herpes to help others with the condition. They will also be of use to general practitioners, indeed anyone wanting up-to-date accurate information about the disease.

This information can be downloaded free of charge and translated* into different languages for use by patients, support groups, healthcare professionals and others.

More resources will be added to the website over the coming months, so watch this space for further details.

The IHA is a non-profit organization offering support and information to people with herpes, their loved ones and to patient support groups throughout the world. These leaflets can also be found in the IHA website, where you will be able to access further information about the organization and its allied patient support groups.
