"The Positive side of being (herpes) Positive"

The internet is the biggest source of BS in the world. Right there next to the tabloids in the supermarket. -

Yes I meant HSV. Winder if the virus is the same exact strain in everybody or are there variations? -

Found This 12 Reasons To Assume Everyone Has Herpes FILED UNDER: Medicine/Science, Personal Health, herpes, virus Responses rolling in to Friday’s post, “Why you should assume everyone has herpes,” have run the gamut from “Yikes!” to “Who cares?” But one common theme is surprise at how incredibly widespread and easy to catch genital herpes is, from “the statistics seem shocking” to “Wow, wish I had known this earlier.” On the assumption that many people might benefit from getting word now rather than later, here’s a Cliff’s Notes version of Friday’s post, condensed for easier viral transmission: 1. New findings by a pre-eminent researcher on genital herpes highlight that even people who have never had herpes symptoms can “shed” quite a bit of virus and potentially infect others. 2. People with herpes who have never had symptoms shed virus on only about 10 percent of days, the study found. People who have had symptoms spread on about 20 percent of days. But both groups shed about the same amount of virus when they shed. 3. The researcher says that “asymptomatic transmission” may be the central way herpes is spread. In the old days, doctors warned mainly about spreading during an outbreak of sores or lesions. 4. Nearly one-fifth of the American adult population tests positive for genital herpes antibodies. 5. More than 80% of people with herpes don’t know they have it. 6. Overall prevalence by the time people reach their forties is 26%. 7. In the general population, one-fifth of women and 11.5% of men are infected. 8. Among single women between ages 45 and 50, the prevalence rate is between 50 and 70%. That’s according to North Carolina professor of medicine Peter Leone, speaking on NPR’s Science Friday. 9. Genital herpes infections can also involve the herpes virus known best as “cold sores” around the mouth. If someone with the cold-sore virus performs oral sex, the receiving partner may contract genital herpes, though it is not the usual genital herpes virus. And the cold-sore virus is so widespread that pretty much everyone gets it. 10. Herpes does not need intercourse to spread; mere skin-to-skin contact is enough. 11. It can lie dormant for many years, suddenly cropping up in the midst of monogamous marriages. 12. It has no cure. Recent attempts to develop a vaccine fizzled, though more research is under way. Herpes patients can take antiviral drugs to shorten their outbreaks — and to become less infectious — but no existing pill can make it go away altogether. -

great explanation of the H family. Some of the garbage I've read on the net about H would make anybody freak out if you actually believed it. -

Question for the guys or women with herpily endowed partners
Mia replied to HerryTheHerp's topic in General herpes discussion
I was told by a dermatologist that if you use somthing with acetone in it like clear finger nail polish remover on the area that starts tingling that the virus will die instantly so the outbreak will not have a chance to break out. This works for lips or external skin areas, obviously not for internal use -

arginine is an amino acid right? I used to take that when I was in weight training and it gave me a huge energy boost and muscle mass until I started getting irritable. Not surprised H loves it. T -

You say stress makes the OB come out. Why is that? Is there a chemical like adrenaline that feeds the virus? -

Can't get over his lie. Said he was clean, then gave me HSV-2
Mia replied to sad_woman's topic in My herpes story
This thread sounds like what happened to me. I was lied to by my boyfriend who denied he gave herpes. A few of my friends got it from him too. Now I just want to rip his balls off.
