Is There an Online Doctor to Discuss Herpes?

Dear Dr. Tom:

Gosh.. where do l start?? l don?t know. l am 21 and l think that l have genital herpes. Of course l am so upset by this. Not sure if this is what l have or what. l kinda wanna talk to someone about it, and get some answers to some ?s. l have looked at lots of info on it lately, but just still not sure. What should l do? And is there some kinda online doctor that l can actually chat with about it???

Dr. Tom’s Response:

Dear Where Do I Start:

To help answer some of your questions you might wish to consult the Herpes Hotline, 1-919-361-8488, where persons are available to answer directly and conversationally. These are not doctors, but they are selected for their knowledge and ability to discuss personal and emotional problems related to herpetic infection.
