Hell yes.
Fear is a much more powerful element than nice talk.

Yes, there isn't any. Herpes is caused by a virus. Actually, there is little cure for viruses nowadays. The only thing that you can generally do in the case of a viral infection is strengthen the immune system and hope it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune system can't win against it. Thus you only get to treat the symptoms. Once you're infected, it stays with you for life. So don't get infected.
Personal experience. I have had genital herpes for over 5 years.
The #1 Herpes Cure Program?

Most genitals infected with herpes don't look like the pictures you find. Most people who have it don't even know it (75%). And, in the younger age set, a larger and larger percentage are getting it from oral sex because they think if they remain a virgin they won't get this stuff.
Definie "illicit" sex. What makes it illicit?

I got identified with herpes virus (type 2) about 3 years back, when I was still in college and had a dumb one-night stand. I understand a lot of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/beJ2j everything got better.
Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program provided the chance to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others by sharing this story.

As a health educator, I DO show pictures of genitals infected with STDs, but it's not to discourage sexual activity. After I inform them about sex, it's their choice whether they wish to engage in sexual activity or not (and I tell them that). They don' make my choices and I'm not there to make their choices--only to insure they are educated BEFORE they make those choices. I do not show them pictures for shock value, either. I can only verbally explain what a herpes outbreak looks like so much. Honestly, a picture says a thousand words. I can explain the red, painful blisters in graphic detail, but unless they have ever seen it, there is no better way than to show pictures. Same with the syphilitic bumps, same with yellow discharge associated with gonorrhea and chlamydia. What teacher who really wants their students to understand the concept they are trying to teach doesn't use visuals, regardless of subject?

Pre-teen to teen, yes. Not to discourage illicit sex, but to make them aware of what's out there. When I was a teen the term herpes was bandied about alot. We all knew it was something icky that you didn't really want to get, but seeing it in living color brings that point home. At that point you realize that it's going to be very painful and it's not going to go away. You will be living with it for life. When you see that, you tend to think about whether you want to see your private parts looking the same way and whether you would want your significant other to see it.

yes. but when you say kids, i am unsure of the age range. if you're talking about high school kids. then yes, i feel that it is necessary. some people just do not learn unless they are shown the side effects. i see nothing wrong with it for educational purposes. the more you are aware the better off you will be.
and not only will it scare the kids with an explanation of the disgusted picture, but by some chance they will be able to look for signs of the disease if they by chance have it, and that is a heads up.
education is all about making aware and enriching.

No, because it would probably not be an effective way to discourage risky behavior. Most kids and even young adults have this "it won't happen to me" thing going.
And though herpes is painful, it is not usually fatal. There are worse STDs- HIV, Hepatitis C, Papillomavirus (genital warts), Chlamydia, etc. I work in a clinical lab and these diseases are very prevalent.

I think kids that are taking part in sex should be educated on what look for if they think someone has an STD. If that discourage sex so be it. other wise have kids running around play with a gun that they think is not loaded but in reality there is a bullet in the chamber.
