It's a lot of effort. While the number of young people with genital herpes has jumped in recent years, a growing number of doctors and physicians have become aware of the problem, which is the biggest cause of herpes and is still at the highest rates in the US: 1 in 7 American women with genital herpes live with their partner. This makes the number of young people diagnosed with the disease, which takes time to develop and becomes more severe gradually, one of the most serious of its kind in the world, much more dangerous than ever. So to reduce the risk of transmission, there are different ways to take advantage of the disease. So why don't some people just do it? If you aren't sure, you can buy condoms or syringes that you can fill yourself by putting a finger against the vaginal wall. That's easy, says Dr. Sarah Bowers, one of the first to get a syringe up onto her desk at Dartmouth University, referring to a piece of paper and writing on it. One year later, you're not going to find your sister. Bowers believes that condoms are safer than syringes with their little tip. As someone with genital herpes, Bowers decided to find out a way to work with someone who had her own private herpes clinic.
