Since 1963. rape victims have been provided postcoital contraception. It is also
appropriate in a variety of other contexts,
for example a broken condom. Anytime a
contraceptive was not used, and an unintended and undesired pregnancy could
result, postcoital contraception may help.
On the other hand, if implantation has
already occurred, postcoital contraception
is inappropriate. Medicines should be

break out every two or three months in
some patients. The disease is highly infectious, which leads to serious disruptions
of social and sexual relationships and, in
some, to depressive feelings. In one study,
over 20 perent of patients said they had
contemplated suicide.
Women with genital herpes bear a
special burden. Pregnant women with
active disease at the time of delivery may
pass the infection on to a newborn at the
time of birth if the infant is delivered
vaginally. The rate of mortality and
neurolic damage is high in neonates who
become infected with herpes. In addition,
medical investigators have noted a statistical association between genital herpes
infections and the development of cervical
cancer. This link has not been established,
but many researchers are concerned.
Herpes infections are caused by the
herpes simplex virus (HSV). Genital herpes usaally comes from HSV type 2. oral
herpes (cold sores, fever blisters) from
HSV type 1. In some cases, however, type
I is found in genital and type 2 in oral
infections. Doctors attribute this phenom-
autoinoculation—spreading the disease
from one part of the body to another by
touching infected areas.
Soon after an initial infection is contracted, pain and itching are felt, and
glands, fever and aches. These symptoms
intensify and are followed by the formation
of fluid-filled lesions in the genital area.
People who have not had a prior exposure to herpes simplex virus usually
experience the most severe symptoms;
they sometimes require hospitalization.
Such people lack the HSV antibodies the
body produces to fight the infection. Most
people have HSV-1 antibodies by the time
they are 50. Almost all children in lower
socioeconomic groups may have them by
the time they are 5, but many of those in
upper socioeconomic groups still lack
them by their early 20s, and this is the
group among whom the disease is said to
be spreading most rapidly.
Recurrences sometimes begin three to
four months after the first infection and
them come back every two months or so,
although the frequency varies greatly.
"Prodromal" or early warning symptoms
of burning, tingling and numbness, at the
point where a lesion will appear, may
precede the formation of recurrent lesions.
Generally, there are fewer lesions in recurrent outbreaks.
The infection is usually contracted
through sexual contact with someone who
is 'shedding virus"—sending off millions
of infectious viruses. Shedding usually
coincides with symptoms, which may explain why some people are infected by
those who have no history or symptoms of
genital herpes.
Infection begins when viruses invade
normal cells and turn them into viral
'copying machines," reproducing up to
20,000 viruses in a single day. Most of
capacity. The infection subsides when it is
successfully fought off by the body's
immune system. Unfortunately, though,
not all the viruses are killed. They travel
along nerve fibers and lodge in a dormant
state In nerve bundles (ganglia) until stimulated to begin reproducing. When they
travel back down the nerve fibers to the
infection site, lesions recur. Recurrences
can be "triggered" by stress, hormonal
changes, and a variety of other factors.
Physicians advise herpes genitalis
patients to keep affected areas clean and
dry. They also counsel abstinence from
sex when there are lesions since lesions arc
a certain sign of contagiousness. Women
with gential herpes are advised to have
regular PAP smears and be monitored
carefully during pregnancy.
Many herpes suffers receive emotional
support through membership in the
Herpes Resource Center (previously
known as H ELP) of Palo Alto. California,
which has local chapters in about 50cv.ies.
