ABSTRACT
Measurements of some psychosocial variables were obtained from 27 patients with a genital herpes infection and compared with those from 12 patients with a gonorrhea infection. The measurements referred to the period before and during the infection. Evidence was found that during the infection patients were more anxious, more sexually inhibited, more bitter towards their partners, and had more psychological complaints than before the infection. Generally there was no difference between the two groups of patients, with one exception patients with genital herpes judged themselves as having fewer psychological complaints prior to the disease than did patients with gonorrhea.
