You've caught it; you've got it for life

Article Abstract:

It is believed that at least one in eight women and one in 30 men in the UK are now infected with the virus which causes genital herpes. Only a small proportion of those infected actually seek medical treatment, so the scale of the problem has previously been underestimated. In some cases, there are no symptoms, so the person concerned can pass on the virus without realising it. It is not possible to eliminate the virus altogether, but treatment with the antiviral drug acyclovir can reduce the severity of an attack.

Celebrate advent and cavort for the full moon

Article Abstract:

The decline of conventional religion does not meant that there is no spirituality, according to Rev. Geraint ap Iorwerth, rector in the village of Pennal, Wales. He celebrates all the festivals of the Anglican calendar, but also encourages any well-meaning spirituality, whatever its origins. He is particularly keen to encourage spirituality that incorporates an element of worship. He believes that people need a symbolic way of perceiving themselves and the world.

It's a power thing

Article Abstract:

It has become increasingly common for men to experience a sense of emotional unease as their traditional roles are eliminated and they have no certainty of employment. They often feel powerless and confused, and this can lead to physical and emotional health problems. The prospects for female achievement have expanded rapidly over recent years, with a corresponding decline in prospects for men.
