No, asymptomatic viral shedding can happen any time, although it does decrease over the years following initial outbreak. Read the link I posted.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
an outbreak is the fastest way to spread it.dot said: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?
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.penkitten said: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.
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.penkitten said: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.

an infected ingrown hair can look like a zit and sting a little when touched.oakraiderz2 said: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.
Sick. At least its not something too bad.penkitten said: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.MDgood said: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.
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).dot said: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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
