The History of Herpes - where did herpes come from?
The herpes virus has been around for a very long time, documented by the ancient Greeks as sores that seemed to 'creep' over the surface of the skin. In fact, the term "herpes" is derived from the Greek word meaning "to creep".
It is also evident that two thousand years ago, Roman Emperor Tiberius attempted to curb an epidemic of herpes labialis (mouth herpes) by outlawing kissing during public ceremonies and rituals...read more

Can you get herpes if...?
Can you get herpes if you live with someone that has Genital herpes and Oral herpes? Some examples are if you drink or eat after them, or even use the bathroom after them?
Answer:
Herpes, whether genital or oral, is not passed by casual contact. You can not get it from sharing a glass, touching the same object or by using the same toilet seat. The herpes virus is contained in the sores. The virus is spread when a sore comes into contact with another person's mucous membranes--genitals, mouth/lips or eyes.
And, if you are referring to oral herpes, cold sores, you are not at risk unless you kiss him/her.
Did you also know that there is not test for herpes unless you have sores and then those sores are cultured? Hence, people can have herpes and not know it unless they have ever had any sores because the virus can be present but may never produce sores. Lastly, what if you were a health care provider? For instance, I am a health care provider at a family planning clinic and many of my patients have herpes--if herpes was transmitted through casual contact as you are concerned than any one in health care would have it, then we would all have it..and we don't because it is sexually transmitted. I believe that when people are fully educated about sexual health we will begin to stop stigmatizing people with STD's.

Oral Herpes
Herpes, both oral and genital, is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus. While oral Herpes is caused by HSV-1, genital Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the HSV-2 virus.The common symptoms for both oral and genital herpes include the appearance of sores on the body.
In oral herpes, they appear on or in the mouth.Most people infected with oral herpes are not even aware of the fact that they have the disease. This is because people usually dont associate these blisters or soars with herpes.

Oral antivirals efficacy for the prevention of genital herpes recurrences
Genital herpes is the most frequent cause of genital ulceration in developed countries. It is a sexually transmitted disease caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (most frequently). After a first infection immunity develops but does not fully protect against further episodes (recurrences). Symptomatic recurrent flares occur in 20% to 50% of patients. In these patients, suppressive therapy with oral antiviral agents is usually required. These agents include acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir...read more

How long does it take before herpes comes out if you've only have 1 partner for close to 2 years?
before i got my herpes i noticed that my husband had a small blister on his penis is that where i could have gotten it from? We had only been together for a short time when i got them and it had been close to 2 years prior to that that i had been with someone. i'd like to know if that's a possiblity of where i got them from. and can i ever have a normal sex life again, and since i got them my sexual drive is down could that be the reason?
Answer:
Usually, if you are going to have outbreaks, you get the first one less than a week after you contract the virus. BUT, in unusual cases, you can harbor the virus in your body for years before you have an outbreak or find out you have it. That is why it is nearly impossible to know who gave it to you. No test can ever tell you how long you have had herpes. That is a myth! It probably was your husband, but it is possible it was someone before him, even if it was over two years earlier. If your husband had a small blister, that was probably herpes. If it makes you feel better, you can ask him to have a blood test to see if he has it. BUT, if he does, you still cannot be sure if you gave it to him or he gave it to you. If he doesn't have it, you can be sure you got it from someone else.
Yes, you can have a normal sex life, but it may take a while for the outbreaks and pain to feel better again. Also, if you are married to the man who gave it to you, and plan to stay married, that makes your life a whole lot easier, because you don't have to worry about telling new partners. If you and your husband both have it, you don't have to worry about abstaining between outbreaks or using protection because you cannot reinfect each other.
As for your sex drive... physically, a lowered sex drive is not one of the symptoms of herpes. BUT, most sex drive issues are psychological. Having herpes can be a traumatic experience. You are obviously thinking about it, worrying about, etc. and that is what kills the sex drive! Also, if you are having pain, that is also going to be a turn off. Once you get used to this and have the pain (physical and emotional) under control, you should be fine.

No Herpes Cure, But Why?
The herpes simplex virus has been aggravating the world since time immemorial. It is indeed a scourge because there is no known herpes cure. Because the virus retreats and hides in the nerves between outbreaks (it then lies dormant), your body has a very hard time dealing with it.
Herpes announces itself in an outbreak of tiny blisters mainly around the genital area which later turn into open sores. After an attack the herpes virus retreats back to the nerve endings and hides, making it difficult to treat or to find a cure...read more

Why does Herpes still cause social stigma?
Genital herpes is very common in the U.S., but for some reason, it's analogous to the childhood "cooties" for many young and older adults still. Why is this?
In a recent poll, adults ranked genital herpes as the second-largest sexually transmitted disease in terms of the stigma is carries. HIV was first. Herpes beat out gonorrhea, mental illness, obesity and even cancer. Herpes?
It's odd that a viral infection that causes little more than cold sores and possible warts carries this much social stigma, but it does according to this poll. If this infection is considered this "taboo," it seems out of place in slot number two if you ask me.
Who is most likely to develop chickenpox?
Studies have concluded that 75% to 90% of the cases of chickenpox were encountered in children aged less than 10. Every year, 10% of those between 5 and 9 years old and 2% of those aged 10 to 14 develop chickenpox every year. All these percents will decrease in a few years, when the young vaccinated children will get older.
It seems that the risk of getting shingles (herpes zoster) is increasing with the age. More rarely, children can get herpes zoster too. 5% of those aged under 15 have developed shingles. It seems that this happens if the child has a weakened immune system or if he had chickenpox before he was one years old...read more

Can you spread/get the herpes 2 virus from using the same bathtub, toilets and so on???
Someone told me that the virus can be spread among other people living in the same home, using the same bathtub & toliet.
Answer:
No.
STDs (including genital herpes) are almost ALWAYS spread by sex or some sort of sexual contact. They can NOT be spread by using a toilet seat after someone. If STDs were able to spread by toilet seats, A LOT more people would have STDs out there!
I have had genital herpes and HPV for over 6 years now. I lived with my parents and brothers most of those 6 years (I contracted both viruses when I was 17). NONE of my family members ever got herpes or HPV from me by using something after me like the toilet or shower. I've also had several other family members and boyfriends (now ex's) use the bathroom after me and NONE of them ever contracted either virus. They are just not spread that way.
Crabs, or pubic lice, may be transmitted an infested toilet seat. However, lice cannot survive away from the human body for longer than 24 hours. So contracting pubic lice from a toilet seat is possible, but it's unlikely.

Sort of... the kind you normally get on your mouth is Herpes type 1 (HSV1). The kind you normally get on your genitals is Herpes type 2 (HSV2). You can get type 1 on your genitals which would be "genital herpes," but it is still type 1, just in a different location. You can also get type 2 on your mouth, but it is still type 2, just in a different location.
If you develop herpes in a different location than it normally resides, the symptoms tend to be less severe. For instance, type 2 on your mouth is far less likely to reoccur than type 2 on your genitals.
So, yes, touching a "cold sore" (which is really herpes) then touching your genitals can give you herpes on your genitals. Though it wont be the usual genital strain, it can cause the same symptoms.read more

Are children borne from a mother with oral herpes borne with an immunity to the disease?
My daughter-in-law also has oral herpes. She says that my son can't get it because I has it and passed some kind of immunity to him when he was in my womb. Is this true? My son have been married 1 years and still no sign of herpes..... He have always lived with someone who has the problem so he don't have a natural fear of it.
Answer:
No, it doesn't give you an immunity. You can still catch it. However since 80% of the populaiton has it and you grew up with someone with it, chances are you already have it. Most people who have it have no symptoms and don't have a clue they are infected.No, it isn't a big deal, but just be aware catching her cold sores on your mouth isn't bad, but if she gives you oral sex you could catch her herpes on your genitals, even when she has no symptoms. :-)

I Have Herpes and I Am Not Ashamed to Admit That
I contracted herpes over seven years ago and, as many others, I struggled with the emotional issues, the sense of betrayal, and the depression that often accompanies being diagnosed with this incurable virus. Initially I was completely unaware of online support forums, but when I did discover them after two years of struggling on my own, they literally changed my life.
I gradually progressed from ‘lurking’ on the forums (reading messages only), to posting occasionally, to actively posting supportive messages and participating fully in the forums. With time I set up a local group and created a website. From the stories and feedback on the forums, it was obvious that there were many needs and wants currently not capable of being met by the existing online forums...read more

I’m mostly concerned about her coming home after 2 days and kissing my son because she never brushes her teeth and I know she has clamidia and herpes simplex.

HIV and chlamydia are sexually transmitted infections, and are not spread by casual contact, so your baby is not at risk.
