Editorial & Medical Standards

How we create, source and correct Modern HSV Playbook content.

Modern HSV Playbook publishes educational content for men living with herpes simplex virus (HSV). Our goal is to make complex sexual-health information clear, practical and free from stigma. This website does not provide diagnosis or personalised medical advice.

Sources & evidence

We prioritise current guidance from organisations such as the WHO, CDC and NHS, together with peer-reviewed research. Medical statistics, treatment information and transmission claims should link directly to the source supporting them.

Where evidence is limited, mixed or evolving, we aim to say so clearly. We avoid presenting personal experience, association or early research as established medical fact.

Medical review status

Unless a page names a qualified medical reviewer and lists their credentials, it has not been medically reviewed. Brandon Hart is not presented as a doctor or other licensed healthcare professional.

Readers should discuss diagnosis, medication, treatment and individual transmission risk with a qualified healthcare professional. Medical review will be disclosed by name on each page where it has taken place.

Updates & corrections

We review important medical claims when authoritative guidance changes and update pages when material errors are found. If you spot an error or outdated source, email [email protected]. We aim to correct substantive errors promptly.
