国际疱疹协会Catherine女士的建议，非常有用

It is most common for people with genital herpes to experience mild symptoms. In the majority of people, this is a very mild skin infection. Because it is such a mild infection, at least 70% of people who have the virus go undiagnosed.

生殖器疱疹患者只有不显著的症状是很常见的，对于大部分人来说，这只是一种非常轻微的皮肤感染。因为其感染症状的轻微程度，至少70%的病毒携带者没有得到诊断（注意）

What all this means for couples varies from relationship to relationship. In short term or casual relationships I would recommend condom use for overall sexual health reasons. If a person with herpes and their partner are anxious about transmission then the person with the virus may choose to take valtrex daily to significantly reduce the likelihood of transmission. In long term relationships, many couples choose to dispense with condom use and take the greater risk of transmission. While a small group of people will experience troublesome symptoms with this infection that requires ongoing medication to control symptoms, in the majority of people this is a mild skin infection.

。。虽然少数人会遭遇到麻烦的（复发）症状以至于需要持续的治疗以控制症状，对于整体人群来说这是很轻微的皮肤感染！

After someone has first contracted herpes, it can take 12-16 weeks for a positive blood test result to occur as it may take this length of time for antibodies to form. Blood tests are not infallible and there is approximately a 10% false negative/false positive rate. I also recommend that you go to the 'information downloads' section of our website where you will find information about what this infection means for partners.

首次感染疱疹后，可以12-16周后才得到+的验血结果（抗体才产生）。验血有10%的假阴/假阳率。

I am not in a position to offer you counselling regarding your future career. There are many ways of making a worthwhile contribution to your family and your country. After a new diagnosis of herpes, like any health disruption, it can be a wise plan to keep doing what you are doing and not to make any significant life changes for at least six months. Many people disrupt their life after the shock of a diagnosis and later realise that it may have been better to keep the stability of what they had previously been doing.

要对家庭或国家作贡献有很多方法。确诊庖症以后，如同其他健康噩耗一样，接着做你一直做的事情（工作）至少六个月，不要做任何显著的生活改变（安排），是一个明智的决定。许多人在受到确诊的打击以后毁掉了自己的生活，等意识到保持稳定（保持原来的职位）很有必要时悔之晚矣

The virus will be contained within the nerves of the pelvic area. It does not travel throughout your body. There is no need for you to do anything in this regard.

病毒在神经节（骶）中，不会到处乱跑（血液），你没必要做什么来防止病毒在体内乱跑（它根本就不会乱跑，只延固定的神经路线回到原患处的皮肤）

Catherine的话很鼓舞我！尤其是第一段！
