The International Herpes Alliance (IHA) has also released internationally relevant, independently endorsed information leaflets.

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.
 

The International Herpes Alliance is an organization that aims to offer support and information to those with genital herpes, those helping to manage the disease and national patient support groups around the world.
