Book Description
Resource-packed, medically authoritative handbook on human papilloma virus (HPV) and the physical and emotional problems arising from acquiring genital infection or genital warts with HPV. The author, Patricia A. Cooper, is now director of a regional HPV support group for the American Social Health Association. In this one-of-a-kind personal chronicle, she invests her readers with the knowledge and wisdom she derived from her own struggles with HPV infection, the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States, as well as from the experiences of others ("Voices from the Groups"). The book's main chapters also cover questions and answers about HPV, medical solutions, personal solutions, prevention, and maintaining sexual relationships, but it is in the book's appendixes that women and men who have fallen victim to HPV will find the definitive factual information they need. The appendixes include a summary of treatment options, CDC treatment guidelines, information bout the American Social Health Association/HPV and its toll-free national hotline, addresses and phone numbers of HPV support groups state by state, titles of key back issues of HPV News, how to locate specially trained counselors, psychologists, and psychotherapists, and a broad selection of informative books and pamphlets dealing with genital warts and HPV. Understanding Genital Warts is a volume in the highly acclaimed IDI Publications Women's Health Care Series (see also Understanding Genital Herpes, by Dr. Gilles R.G. Monif, ISBN 1880906384). ...
