Galen Research, an independent research company are conducting a study to
develop a way of identifying the most effective and affordable methods of
treating recurrent genital herpes.

At the moment, the only way of deciding which are the best treatments is to
ask people with herpes to complete questionnaires that cover things that are
important to people such as doctors, health advisors and even health service
managers rather than people with herpes. We want to identify the issues of
importance to people who actually have the condition.

We are inviting people with recurrent genital herpes in mainland UK to take
part in a short interview held at a location of your choice, arranged on a
date convenient with you (you can also choose whether to be interviewed by a
male or female). All participants will be offered £50 to cover time and
expenses. There will be no physical examination or use of medication - we
simply want your views. Confidentiality will be strictly maintained at all
times.

If you are interested in taking part and helping the research, please
telephone 0161 226 4446 and speak to Kate or David or email us:
