Outline of Final Research Achievements

Data of 20 HSV infection cases were collected by on-line counseling from December, 2016 to March 31, 2018. (Tomomi Hasegawa:You aren't only person with herpes infection. <on-line> https://counseling-u-toyama.jp). As a result, the depressed state and anxiety decreased by counseling. Not only Medical treatment but also the importance of counseling became clear. The fixed effect of “infection might be recognized as an accidental experience” as intervention method of declining stigma of herpes virus infection patients admitted. However, when a period from infection to genital herpes suppressive therapy was longer, patient's anxiety continued.
