There are two major problems we face today with genital herpes. One of these is the lack of evidence, leaving many people unknowingly infected. The other is the ignorance of many people how widespread is what makes it more likely that the disease will not disappear soon be unhappy. Those who are sexually active, especially with multiple partners are all in danger.
Unfortunately, genital herpes is not curable, but onlyWe can treat the symptoms. Many people do not even know to be. May have had only a year and the emphasis is confused with something else.
One of my friends had a minor scare when a woman who had been seen for many years (but not only) told me, after having sex with her recently that he thought he had a genital outbreak may have been exposed. He said he had years ago and have had something like Valtrex and dismissed him and had neverhad a relapse until recently. E 'was the impression that this meant that there was no other, putting at risk of transmitting it.
Some facts about guide HSV (herpes)
Approximately 1 / 4 to 1 in 5 of the United States over 12 test positive for the virus type 2 with a blood test that accurately distinguishes HSV 1 and 2. The disturbing part is out of these positive results, only 1 in 10 knew that before being tested.
70% of new infections with herpes transmitted by a person who does not show any symptoms at the time of infection to your partner.
For women, a Pap test negative for herpes does not mean it is infected.
The current policy is known as SELECT herpes blood test requires a distinction between types 1 and 2, and is available through laboratories in the main search and LabCorp.
A positive result does not specify when you only have one.
It 'also important to know that can take several monthsafter exposure for you positive. So, those who have multiple partners or a partner to move often expose themselves and their partners at a much higher risk.
A study on the risk generated the following facts:
The risk is about 10% for each year that the infected man transmitting the virus type 2 in women not infected. In other words, if 100 people are infected with one-on-one sex with 100 women not infected, about 10 women are infected each year. It 'a little' less likelywoman for a man - about 4 men for every 100 will get.
This study was based on no condom, no sex during herpes outbreaks, not the use of these drugs every day.
Speaking of sexually transmitted diseases can have all the spontaneity and romance of sex. Talk about a killer in the atmosphere. But instead of killing the desire for something that kills you. Or better yet, ask all these nasty words on the long road before you get physical with someone.
If you hadfun and I managed to evade capture, not least, the new partner the next time you connect to carry and can transmit to you, not knowing after the fact.
When are there, if dating sites or if you were to meet a sexual partner, many people say they are STD free and tested regularly. Although this may be true, what most people do not realize is that usually only means that getting tested for HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and possibly warts (whichare easy to spot). Unless specifically requested a test of herpes zoster is very unlikely to be tested for it. It 'something that really should be treated in the field of public health.
The majority of the population has HSV-1 known as herpes labialis. This can be through the mouth to give someone genital herpes HSV type 1. HSV 2 can not be passed to the oral-genital, genital-genital alone. A person can have one and not another, or you can have both.However, virus type 1 does not HSV 2, or vice versa. Having a guy does not make you immune to another.
So, in summary, HSV-1 can be transferred from mouth to genitals or genitals to genitals. HSV 2 is only transferred to the genital-genital.
*** Update *** I recently spoke with a dermatologist who advised me that we are not yet sure that HSV-2 can be transmitted from genitals to mouth. So it seems that things are notdiscovered. The best thing is to keep your immune system strong, but the healthy lifestyle and be careful. Sorry spontaneity is exciting, but can also lead to disastrous consequences.
Herpes test should be mandatory as part of its annual tests for blood work, if you are sexually active - not just HIV. hsv but not fatal, which still carries a stigma with it.
