Living with Viral Meningitis\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The impact of latent herpesvirus on chronic disease is often misunderstood and underappreciated. Viral meningitis is a serious potential outcome of HSV-2 infection that requires medical treatment and can be fatal if not treated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies have shown during initial outbreaks of genital herpes, 28% of women and 17% of men develop symptoms of meningitis. About a fifth of HSV+ individuals who develop meningitis will have recurrences. Although most people who have meningitis make a good recovery, some can be left with debilitating long term after effects including hearing loss, sight loss and even acquired brain injury (ABI).<\/span><\/p>\n

Please join Herpes Cure Advocacy to hear from HSV+ patients living with Mollaret\u2019s Syndrome, a rare form of recurrent viral meningitis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
