there are dating sites dedicated to people with herpes who don't want to spread it.

Thats correct I got herpes even though i used a condom.

Reguarding testing for herpes, tests are pretty inconsistant for this STD. Ive talked a bit with my doc about this. The antibodies that they look for in your blood for the herpes test only show up during a certain window of time after an outbreak.

Ever had a cold sore on your mouth or lip? thats the herpes virus. and it could show up on your blood test as herpes too if it was tested at the right time window.

So testing negative for herpes doesnt mean you dont have herpes, and testing postive for herpes doesn't mean you do have genital herpes.

The only certain way to diagnoise genital herpes is with a visual. If you think you have an outbreak, see the doctor, and the doc will diagnose you with it or not.


For me this is how it went: I got a visual diagnosis from a dermatologist. Then I got blood tested a month later for all major STDs. Guess what, herpes show up negative. So i was all stoked thinking maybe she diagnosed it wrong or something. Then i got tested for stds again 3 months later and herpes show up positive ( I hadnt noticed any new outbreaks either). So basically blood tests are pretty bad for determining genital herpes.

WHAT THE FVCK ARE YOU SAYING?! I HAVE HEARD EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE FROM PEOPLE WHO FVCKED MORE THAN 100 of WOMEN - meaning you CAN'T get it with a condom. I think you messed something up dude.

 

[sparky0000]

you can get a number of std's with a condom. you boys have been brainswashed to think that condoms prevent everything. just isn't the case. the only safe bet is to not have sex or to date a virgin. take it from someone that is clean....quality over quantity. quality being more than just something you see on the outside. quality means the caliber of girl you deal with.

 

[Oxide]

mothafvcka I think you are the one who is brainwashed.. the whole damn country is brainwashed by the religious groups. Condoms are VERY EFFECTIVE for this kind of stuff - unless you broke it you should be alright.

"take it from someone that is clean" ???? shut the fvck up.... how is this an argument... damn

 

[GaryUranga]

haha!

 

[HMA231]

condoms dont help vs herpes because herpes is something transmitted from skin to skin contact, or pvssy juice to skin contact. I dont know about you but more than just the condom touches her crotch area when im ****ing.

and some virus's are too small to be stopped by a latex barrier (HPV) warts. you have skin to skin with that one too anyway.

 

[Bible_Belt]

agreed, condoms barely help at all against HSV or HPV.

please know what you are talking about before you make an a$$ of yourself on here. go ask any doctor practicing general medicine. they see tons of this crap, and they hear tons of idiots who swear they practiced safe sex when they were with "that" person. it doesn't matter. wrap it 20 times. you are still taking major risks with many std's. americans have become so concerned about aids (which is still largely a gay man's disease) that they have totally forgotten about the zillion or more std's that are out there. you might not die from them, but they will still f*** up your life.

Well, I don't know, may be we should just let a guy who FVCKED ALMOST 1000 women pitch in:

How many STD's do you have/do you have AIDS? You MUST have a bunch because of all the sex you have.
This question always cracks me up. People, I am not going to get into a lecture about sexually transmitted diseases, but be careful who you believe. A lot of the info you find on this subject comes from sources with an agenda (e.g. religious groups, conservative abstinence groups, etc). But no, I do not have any STD's that I know of, and yes, I get tested regularly. It's actually pretty easy to avoid STD's if you just USE A ****ING CONDOM. And tons of girls I **** get tested after ****ing me, and none has ever come up positive for anything. Well, unless you count pregnancy as an STD.

I wouldn't doubt that you could get something from a squirter drooling all over your thighs, but if this was the case, wouldn't pretty much EVERYONE have Std's by now? I mean there is ALWAYS skin to skin contact with sex..so if this is so easy, why don't you have herpes?

One out of five of the total adolescent and adult population is infected with genital herpes.

Infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of five).

Male-to-female transmission is more efficient than female-to-male transmission.

One in five Americans have genital herpes (yet at least 80 percent of those with herpes are unaware they have it).

About 80 percent of American adults have oral herpes (cold sores).

An estimated 25 percent of American adults have genital herpes.

Genital herpes affects approximately one in six Australian adults

Approximately two-thirds of people who acquire STDs in the United States are younger than 25.1,3

About one in five people in the United States over age 12 (approximately 45 million individuals) are infected with HSV-2, the virus that causes genital herpes.2

According to the A.H.M.F. (Australian Herpes Management Forum) genital herpes is under-diagnosed — of people with genital herpes simplex virus infection only 1 in 5 are diagnosed and, up to 80% of cases of genital herpes are not recognized as such by clinicians.

At least one in four Americans will contract an STD at some point in their lives.

Up to 1 million new HSV-2 infections may be transmitted each year in the United States.1

Costs associated with genital herpes totaled approximately $237 million in 1994.3

Genital herpes infection also is more common among African Americans (45.9%) than among White Caucasian (17.6%).

Since the late 1970s, the number of Americans with genital herpes infection has increased 30%.

The largest increase of genital herpes is among young White teenagers.

Genital herpes infection is now five times more common in 12- to 19-year-old White adolescents.

Genital herpes is twice as common among young adults ages 20 to 29 than it was 20 years ago.

Results of a nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection. Between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, the number of Americans with genital herpes infection increased 30 percent.

Genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of five). This may be due to male-to-female transmissions being more likely than female-to-male transmission.

When properly used latex condoms are likely to reduce your risk of spreading or getting herpes, however even the best condoms do not guarantee total safety.

When herpes sores occur in places not covered by a condom the condom is of little help, if any

Hey oxide, there is this thing called google, se if you can figure out what it does.


There are a lot of people with it (i'm one of them.) I got it when there ware no visable signs, I used a condom, And the 3 soars i got are at the base of my penis where the condom doesn't cover....i haven't had a breakout in about 6 months since i got it.

In any contentious national debate, both sides will have an agenda. Yes, the religious right-wingers are anti-condom because they are pushing abstinence. However, the left-wing liberals are the opposite extreme, glorifying condoms as a magic cure-all for the STD problem. Groups like Planned Parenthood are just as much out for your money as the Sunday morning televangelists. They all spin half-truths to empower themselves.

so what are you trying to say? condoms do protect fully against herpes?

If so, your way off.

 

[Livinlifehard]

i remember my old boss came up to me and said "****ing cold sores" i said "OMG YOU HAVE HERPS" i told him to look it up, but almost everyone has that form anyways.

 

[Last Man Standing]

When I was 16 I shaved my nuts with my dads used razor. It looked like got herpes afterwords. red lumps. Itched until I wanted to kill myself. Lasted about 8 months. now I get itchy only when I wear jocks. So I only wear boxers. What is that? I never get lumps anymore. tried Jock itch creme. helps but it's still there.

Can you get herpes from the blood on a razor?

its not blood that spreads it, its skin and since a razor is used on skin i guess it is possible but probally very rare. after so many seconds of air hitting the razor, the herpes should have been killed off, before you ever touched it.
you probally got the red bumps from shaving down there. alot of porn stars and strippers put white stick deodorant on down there after they shave so they dont get the red bumps. sometimes hair follicles get ingrown after you shave there and make red bumps. that is probally what happened to you. you probally have sensitive skin too.


wait a minute... is this dad's razor he shaves his face with? why would dad have herpes on his chin?? or is this dads nut shaving razor? and come to think of it, i would be mad as heck if my kid used my razor to shave his nuts. wouldnt you?

 

[Bible_Belt]

nut-shaving with Dad's razor, and crotch deodorant - this is a great thread.
