@HikingGirl Haha. It's an area of interest for me. Terri Warren started quoting new shedding stats a while back that differed from how they were presented in the Handbook and I wanted to understand why. I think it was in some cases related to newer research and in other cases just about how the numbers were presented (like an average versus a range). The current average shedding rates she quotes are as follows: - HSV1 oral, 25% - HSV1 genital, 5 % - HSV2 oral, 1% - HSV2 genital, 14% (10% asymptomatic, 20% symptomatic) Hey any source from this? Are you sure those are new stats for HSV2 though? I mean 10% asymptomatic and 20% symptomatic sounds like the older stats. 25% HSV1 oral and HSV1 genital being 5% might be new though. Anyway, would be great to see a link to this, cant find it googling.

hey man, feel this thread needs to be revived. So I guess this has been asked before in the thread but since it has been a year, why not? My question to u mr hippy is how active is your virus? I heard you said 3 years without outbreak or something? So what I wonder is how active is it in terms of periods of heat sensations, itching sensations, burning sensations and if you got the heat sensations on your entire lower abdominal area and sometimes in the scrotum? Im very curious because I would say that having the heat symptom active there is probably when you are the most contagius in non condom areas. Since you have never transmitted however, I suppose you don´t get that a lot, could that be correct?

Hey, so what happend to nice guy? :D And wow there are some things in this story that really sets me off a bit about you. As a carrier you need to take some responsibility, I mean the spacing between the lines is just horrible! Think of how hard you make life for all of us no life forum lurkers out there. Really nice read in more serious words though.

Hey, just curious, which continent was this? Sounds a bit like South America or maybe Asia.

Hey, how do you find out which laws a country has about herpes disclosure? For instance in Europe its common that herpes is not under the std information law, in US and Canada it is. How is it in South America where many countries have 30-50% HSV2?
