Fifty seven patients experiencing first attacks of genital herpes simplex virus infection (HSVI) were compared with 50 patients who were concerned about frequently recurring attacks despite routine counselling and reassurance. Using the general health questionnaire this latter group was found to be more psychologically distressed and more socially naive than the first attack group, as measured by socioeconomic class and the lie score of the Eysenck personality questionnaire; otherwise the two groups were similar. Patients presenting to clinics with frequently recurring genital HSVI may therefore be especially psychologically distressed, socially naive, and disadvantaged. Managing these patients needs to include understanding these problems as well as giving advice and using antiviral agents.
将57例首次发作单纯疱疹病毒生殖器感染（HSVI）的患者与50例虽经常规咨询和安慰仍担心频繁复发的患者进行了比较。使用一般健康问卷发现，根据社会经济阶层和艾森克人格问卷的说谎分数衡量，后一组患者在心理上比首次发作组更痛苦，社交上更幼稚；除此之外，两组相似。因此，因生殖器HSVI频繁复发而到诊所就诊的患者可能在心理上特别痛苦、社交上幼稚且处于不利地位。管理这些患者需要理解这些问题，同时提供建议并使用抗病毒药物。
