Surprised at the lack of knowledge by Doctors on herpes

[Aimee (previously baffled1]

One would think that for a virus like herpes that has been around long before humans were that doctors would be more knowledgeable; 3 doctors 3 different diagnosises. When I talked to my OB/Gyn on the phone today; (btw he is the doc that he believes about 98% I have herpes even with lab calling him yesterday to tell him that it was possible my lab culture is a false positive.) He was shocked to learn that Louisiana is among the 36 states that make a criminal action to withhold communicable disease statuses to potiential partners whether the person gets infected or not. Knowing the type of doctor he is, I would bet that he will start sharing this information with his patients.

The problem is that a lot of info has changed but the in the minds of the medical community, it is STILL a nuisance skin condition so they don't worry about staying up on the latest info because to THEM, it's one of the more "minor" diseases/issues they deal with. :/
