No, asymptomatic viral shedding can happen any time, although it does decrease over the years following initial outbreak. Read the link I posted.

So are you saying, the only time that you can catch it when they don't have an outbreak, is in the initial 2 week period of them catching it?

an outbreak is the fastest way to spread it.

no one knows how often you can catch it from assymtomatic shedding or not having an outbreak at the time, but they do say it can happen.

do you have a fever?
do you have swollen lymph nodes?
did the bump begin as a hard knot under the skin, that rose up, and now looks like a single chicken pox?
does is ache in horrible pain?

if you answered no to all of those, i bet it is just an ingrown hair or boil.
which every one gets at one point or another.

None of those. It looks like a pimple and its isolated, no other bumps are around it. Im getting a physical tomorrow so ill have them check it out.

It's either a benign cyst, which is no big deal, or you have molluscum contagiosum. Molluscum looks like a whitehead zit. It does not hurt. It can show up in one sore or in several.

If you do have molluscum, it takes a dermatologist to diagnose it. General practicioner doctors don't know anything about dermatology or molluscum.

True, but a good rough estimate is to figure that if 70% of people caught it with no symptoms present, then a person with herpes is contagious without showing symptoms 70% of the time, and that person shows symptoms 30% of the time.

an infected ingrown hair can look like a zit and sting a little when touched.
you must pop the white part out, eww
then use clean tweezers to dig the hair out.
sometimes they are a pain in the azz.

so no matter what it depends on our ability to read them. wow. and even then they might not even know about it.

any mucuous membrane so that means kissing too.

the worst part is no signs, even on the girl's part.

It's like if they show symptoms (open oozing genital lesions) 4 days out of the month, then they're actually shedding 4/30%, or 13 to 14 days out o the month. You hook up once with a girl like that and you risk a 50% chance of being exposed to the virus (though not actually a 50% chance of catching it).

It's a dangerous world out there. That's why you stay suspicious of women who have fvcked 10 or more guys, who lost their virginity before they were 16, who like to date guys who live in another state, who are attractive or successful and can never seem to "find the right guy," or who just come right out and ask to fvck you. You don't screw them on the first date. You ask them questions. Generally if they know you're onto them they'll tell you they have genital herpes. If they're evil, they won't.

To be fair, I don’t laugh at std jokes either and I’m clean but I don’t find anything funny about diseases
