How can they determine if you have herpes if you didn't have any sores? If they test your blood and it turns out that you have the anti-bodies for herpes that doesn't necessarily mean that you have Type 2 genital herpes. It could mean that you get cold sores every couple of months on your mouth (Type 1 Herpes).

My understanding of all this is that the only way to test for type 2 genital herpes is to do a swab of the infected area. Given that you never had symptoms then it is probable that you had/have Type 1 Herpes which is something that many people have and should not cause you too much anxiety.

I read a stat once (not sure if its accurate) that over 80% of the population, by the age of 40 have the antibodies for herpes even though most never developed an outbreak on their mouth (Type 1) or genitals (Type 2). Something about how people by that age will have come into contact with the virus over and over and will not show effects of it.

Anyways, that's what I know based on what I've read about STD's in general. Whatever you've got, I feel for you and I hope you pull through ok. I suggest you talk to your doctor and get more information about this stuff. Seems to me like you could just have the antibodies which is not as big as deal as having full fledged Type 2 genital herpes. Also, whatever you have, its not life threatening and their should be no reason why you can't have a regular normal life. Just be honest with your partners and if necessary join all the herpes support groups you can find and pick up chicks over there.

Good luck.

You can blood test for both Types (Simplex) 1 and 2.

Cesare is right: Type 1 is *usually* the oral cold sore type which most of the population has.

Type 2 is *usually* genital.

You can, however, transmit either type orally or genitally. That means that should a woman with active oral herpes go down on you, you *could* get "oral" herpes on your genitals.

So, if your blood test comes back positive Type 1 and negative Type 2, you could still have Type 1 on your mouth and genitals.

It is fairly uncommon, however, for Type 1 to be located genitally, just FYI.

Get the tests FOR BOTH SIMPLEXES done anyway.

I, too, am curious as to what test was done and the results.

SadBlues,

Sorry to hear the news.


I have a question about STD testing. I had one done a few months ago everything was fine.

My question is, is the only way the can test you is to stick a big Q tip in your pee hole. Cause when they did that I got light headed and almost passed out.

Is their away you can take a blood test or something else?

I know none of you guys are doctors or anythingh, but while were on the subject. Im 18, and the most ive ever done is french kiss a girl, however, i have these white pimply things on the back of my k***, they never hurt or go red, but it alwsays concerns me, i suppose i should get it checked out, but then i thought you had to of have some sort of sex to get sores other than on your mouth, whihc i never get.

I wouldn't be too concerned. those bumps are probably normal. Do a google search for "Pearly Penile Papules"..they could also just be prominent sebacious glands. I have both and was freaking out BAD until I saw the doc and he said everything was cool. I was so pissed! How come they never talked about this sh*t in Sex Ed?

Go and see a doc if it'll make ya feel better but it sounds like you got nothin to worry about especially if you haven't been sexually active.

Ouch.

Seriously? 1 out of 5 girls ??

On the bright side, 1 out of 5 girls is probobly looking for a man who already has herpes, that understands her.

Thanks for sharing

NO, dont think girls wont sleep with you even thought they have herpes.

I've said this many times "girls are not angels guys think they are, they can be more evil than devil himself"

If a chick wants to get banged, she will not want to scare you away, so she'll keep her mouth shut.

Well this all sounds just nasty, I guess you can never be 100 percent sure but staying clear of the skanks will go some way I guess.

A little extra info.

Believe it or not 95% of people have oral herpes. This is usually referred to as TYPE 1 HERPES. TYPE 1 becomes TYPE 2 genital herpes when A girl with an open sore in her mouth gives you a bj and the TYPE 1 enters any cuts or openings on your unprotected slong. And viola you get TYPE 2. Though I am unsure as to the protection/failure rating of latex condoms against the transmission of herpes during protected sex.

Latex condoms provide only some protection against herpes, and higher protection against other STD's. But the best protection is to ask your partner, and trust your gut if you think something is not right.

Uhhh, I'm not so sure about this. I could be wrong but I thought that type 1 and 2 were actually two different strands of the virus.

That's actually right, not the statistic, which I don't know, but the fact that there is a subpopulation with herpes that will date within that subpopulation. Just like you, there are some HB's out there that have herpes and are miserable because of it. You have them to yourself!

WRONG (partially). Type 1 is type 1 and remains type 1 whether it is oral or genital. Type 2 is type 2 and remains type 2 whether it is oral or genital.

See my post above.

It is true that it is estimated that over 90% of the population has type 1 herpes. Roughly 80% of type 1 herpes is oral; the other 20% is genital.

Roughly 80% of type 2 herpes is genital; the other 20% is oral.

It is possible to transmit either type 1 or type 2 orally to the genitals and, I suppose genitally to oral as well.

That means that if a woman has type 1 on her mouth and it is shedding (which may be asymptomatic) and is giving you head, you can get type 1 genitally.

It also means that if a woman has type 2 genitally and you're eating her out, you can get type 2 orally.

Lastly, if she has either type 2 (or less likely, type 1) herpes genitally, you can catch whichever one she has genitally when having intercourse.

Got it???

Lastly, condoms are partially effective provided the virus does not come into any contact with the skin. You'd do best to do some further research on this matter. I'm not an expert.

To avoid the herpes virus and to have safe sex with someone you truly love, read the 500 page masturbation thread on this board. Good luck!

 

[suavedave]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, what the hell use is PU then,

to find the "one..." ????

Who wants to find the one, I want a lot of sex with different chicks. What is the solution????

 

[Helter Skelter]

Masturbation
Just think of a diffrent girl each time!

 

[MVPlaya]

SadBlues, what is your usual handle? You clearly made this one for your STD confessional... also, if you get Herpes from having her ***** juice hit your nuts... how can you protect yourself? Wrap a condom around your balls? Not make her c*m (no c*mming, no juice)? Someone please explain what to do other than that horrible three-syllable word starting with A.

 

[dietzcoi]

Let's not panic over the 1 of 5 number!

Every time you get into your car and drive on the highway you are taking a risk. I am a hunter, every time I go out on a drive hunt with other hunters I am taking a risk. Eating red meat is a risk, drinking beer...

You get my point... be safe but you cannot be a "bubble boy".. life is risky.

I hear you, but car accidents is one in a 100 and STD's is 1 in 5. So I see a difference in severity here. Now, I am not for that dirty three-syllable word starting with A. No sirree... sex is great. However, I don't want a crispy balzac so I need someone to tell me if there is something I can do other than anal.

They are vary common, nothing more than follicles, do a search in the Health and Fitness Forum of this site, it has been discussed.

Peace.
