But I think the most important thing is to talk about it, it's not to deny it, and to explain you know that, that this is something that you've had and how long you've had it, and whatever and to be very open with your partner, especially before you've had any sexual encounter. People who really get very angry with each other find out that they've been with someone who had a, who had herpes and were informed, so it's very, very important to be open and honest. This is part of who you are.

This is Patti German in New York City."
