How easy is it to catch genital herpes? Will a condom offer much protection? Frankly, I'm pretty confident about a condom's ability to protect against HIV, and the other main nasty STDs out there. But Herpes, I've heard all you have to do is come in contact with the skin of the infected person and now you've got it for life. You can't be stroking away between a girl's legs and not have you skin touch hers down there. Condoms wouldn't do crap in that case. That scares the sh*t out of me. I'm herpes(oral and genital) free, and don't want to have that crap for life. How do you avoid it?

Avoid it by taking a blood sample from her on your first date.

perform some lab tests on it, maybe some PCR to search for herpes virus dna

if its positive, forget about it

if it's negative, hit it on your second date

may take a few days. its good though shows ur not desperate for 2nd date :)

But is it worth the risk and unpleasantness?
Only someone who's never had sex would ask that question. Once you have sex, its definately worth the risk. The only way to avoid it is to live like a monk, not reality, its just one of those things that you have to accept that you have a 20% chance of getting no matter what. But don't waste your valuable energy worrying about it cuz its not going to get you anywhere.

If you have had sex with more than five women, chances are you have rolled the dice at least once. My number is higher than that, so I have most deifinitely been in contact with a female who has it, but I'm clean, and I'm not gonna sweat it and let it ruin my life.

I actually had a "scare" awhile back. After I fukked a chick who rode me REAL hard, a few days later I got what looked to me like a bunch of infected hairs. Went to doc to have it checked just to make sure, but came back negative. I must have gotten some infected hair follicles since she was grinding on me so hard.

I was pretty relieved, but even if the tests came back positive it isn't the end of the world. Don't let fear rule your life.

I had a similiar experience. I was fuming mad as hell because I trusted her to be clean. Turned out it wasn't herpes. Phew!

Same here, neg also. Just a bony ass causing some ingrown hairs but ditto on that not the end of the world, from my understanding for most people with normal immune systems it's just not much of an issue, like someone said, essentially a cold sore once in a while.

cant think of a user name said:
Is it true that a girl who's had a coldsore can transfer the oral herpes virus to your d!ck when she blows you?
Oral herpes and gential herpes are two different viruses. I don't think you can get gental herpes by getting a blow by a girl with oral herpes. I could be wrong though. I'd ask an expert.

CDC says yes, different viruses, and no, you can get either in either place, either one can infect any mucous membrane.

one and two are the same virus, just different strains, which means 1 is less severe than 2... and you can spread either strain to either place. (( just like i did))
heck, you can spread them to your eye if you aren't careful. (thats called ocular herpes)

How easy is it to get herpes if the girl has no visible outbreak signs? We've all just made out with some random chic we met at a club or party I'm sure and then never saw again. I wonder how risky that is. And if she has genital herpes in her bloodstream, will kissing you pass that into your body?

RE: Herpes

sorry but you can get herpes even using a condom.. a cold sore on the mouth can give you herpes on your **** or in your mouth or even your eyes and herpes on the genitals can give you a cold sore on the mouth (which is herpes) or eye herpes - just touch an open herpes or cold sore and you can spread it to other places. Sorry for the bad news - you may want to become a monk and I don't think a condom is gonna save you from HIV either if you perform oral sex and you have an open cut in your mouth or an open cut on a finger and do a dirty deed- you could also contract HIV I believe... learned this through Nursing pr:( ogram from VA years ago.

Condoms are effective against the herpes virus because it cannot pass through latex. You are at practically 100% risk of getting herpes when you make skin contact with outbreaks. That's how the virus spreads itself.

HIV spreads through direct blood contact. Like through tiny cuts.
