Ok, so if 1 in 5 people has the herpes...
 

how many of you here have it? if you have it. do you tell your partner beforehand or do you just use a condom and keep it a secret?

FACT: I know 2 people that post here that do not tell their partners that they have herpes, they just use a condom... It really bothers me that they have this little respect for their partners.

btw.. i am tested and clean (which i thank my lucky stars for cause i had many bareback adventures when i was younger)....

I'm sorry I don't have that problem.

I don't give a shit who has herpes.

As long as it isn't my true love . . . . punker barbie.


Please tell me she doesn't have the H!!!


Shit, I actually don't give a shit if she does. I would lick her senseless no matter what!

I think your stats are including simple cold sores, not 1 in 5 people have genital herpes?

no, the commercial says genital herpes..

Isn't that typical of the genital herpes sufferer? Including all variations of "herpes" in their statistics in order to make their affliction appear less fucked up than it really is?

If you have genital herpes, you are a circus freak.

damn, that is scary

I've never seen it myself, but I do remember one girl many years ago, she was hot, and she invited me out and on the first date she brought up the fact that she had herpes.... it was strange because she was so matter of fact about it and we hadn't done any foreplay or anything really, and even though she was good looking and very cool, I didn't go out with her again, I kind of felt bad about it but I couldn't get past the fact, even though her honesty was really cool and she was a really nice person too, just unlucky to have flare ups on occasion I guess

the herps no bid deal just a minor skin irritation...but im clean, yikes!
but jeter aint lol http://www.ourbookofscrap.com/2007/0...rpes-tree.html

Damn hes sure spreading hes luvin

90% of those infected never know it because their body doesn't react to it in a fashion most associate with genital herpes.

So only 1/2 in five or 1 in ten infected know they have it. So if 20% has it, only 2% of 100 people contract symptoms associated with it.

That means for every 100 there is 1 man and 1 woman not fessing up. And there are 9 more men and 9 more women with it that don't know they even have it.

Anyone that has ever had a cold sore has herpes simplex 1 and can give that to their oral sex partners even though genital is simplex 2, simplex 1 also has been shown to infect the sex organs.

My sack is clean!

Are you talking about genital type?

between half and 80% of all people have one of the 8 forms of the virus in their system. Ever get a cold sore? That's herpes.

I've had about 5 cold sores since I was 7 years old, So I guess I have it, but the non-sexual type.

Not me or my wife. :)

You wanna be freaked out - look up the statistics on genital warts (HPV) That shit is fucking EVERYWHERE. (shudder) :error

its not the bad.. will be fine :)

nearly 50% of black men have it. So think about that white sluts before you go sticking that negro cock in your nasty snatch.

This is why I stay inside. All you fuckers have something lol.

I've seen those ads and there has to be something exaggerated about those numbers.

If 1 in 5 people had herpes, wouldn't virtually everyone have herpes within a certain period of time?

But clearly a lot of people have herpes because I see those Valtrex ads on all the time so I assume they've done the research and know there is a pretty big audience.

40% of gfy has the herp.


50% of the gfy community is made up of virgin nerds like 'notoldschool' and 80% of the other half is herp infested.

from the CDC website

Results of a nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection.
