It's the same virus in different spots. It is an std. The hsv2 test is worthless.
These are the types of things you would know if you were not possibly the biggest idiot on this web site. Your ignorance is your own business, until you turn yourself into the Sosuave Guru of STD Misinformation. You have every right to your own stupidity; I'm sure it's bliss. But please stop trying to give advice about herpes. Your wrong-and-strong ignorance is dangerous.
The good news is that, unlike people who might get herpes by following your advice,
you can be cured. Here you go:

You really put me in my place, didn't you?
Thank you very much for qualifiying yourself to me.
Very sensitive, aren't we? What are you, a brainless bumpkin? Is this the way you communicate everytime you don't agree with somebody about something? By the way you speak, you come across as an even bigger idiot, although I am sure you're not, err, well, I am not sure at this point, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
In your attempt to forever impress us with your wisdom, you missed the whole point. It's alright man, I can't compete. Now, forgive yourself for having a small penis. :flowers: Really, it is ok. Go get laid man, don't be so uptight man. The main point was: Very low risk situation if he uses common sense.
The percentage of people who have been exposed or are infected with hsv1 is high, and most don't have symptoms. You probably have it, and either know it or are not even aware. You probably have kissed somebody who has the virus, and most likely didn't show symptoms. I am sure you carry an Oral Herpes test kit in your glove compartment and you pull it out before kissing anybody.
There is one thing I do disagree with you about. YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT THE TEST FOR HSV2 BEING WORTHLESS. That is where your title of "Biggest Idiot On This Website" type of comments really make me wonder about you. There is more than one test. Did you know that? The newer tests are much better than previous versions, yet still produce some false positive/negative results. There is one that is reliable, according to the people who are experts at this; people I trust more on these issues than you. It is called Western Blot, by the University of Washington. It is costly, yet accurate. Embrace new info and technology, professor.
In your attempt to show your nasty, compensating attitude, you resort to personal attacks on sombody you don't even know.
You're an angry little man. Bro, don't take yourself so seriously. Are all of your posts full of this type of anger? Not 100% sure about you, but people who don't get laid are angry. :cuss: Just sayin'.
Yes, I can also post links to support arguments that I agree with, but it isn't about that. Anbody can look this stuff up. Chief, I agreed with you about the main issue (wether it can be transmited orally) and you still get all bent.
So what are the options for the original poster, and all of us, when dealing with a girl who, god forbid, has or has had cold sores?
1. Possible, yet unlikely, that he will contract oral herpes (hsv1) in the genitals if he uses common sense and avoids any contact while the sores are there. Duh!!!
2. Very likely he is already an asymptomatic carrier of it, as are most of us.
3. Should he stay away from this one? Maybe, but his risks would be just the same on the next girl he tries to kiss or be involved with, as she probably is a carrier of this practically harmless hsv1 virus. Should he walk around asking every potential mate, "have you ever had a cold sore, even when you were a child and hadn't had sex before?" :crazy: Should he live in a bubble? Should he avoid anybody who has ever had the flu?
4. Be careful and avoid the high risk situations, as in visible sores, etc., and understand that any sex, yes, even with virgins (as they are most likely have had cold sores as children), carries some type of risk, although mimimal, and enjoy life without being a paranoid tool.
Peeps, there are nastier diseases out there you should educate yourself on, panic, and worry about more. Common sense should tell you what to do about kissing somebody with cold sores, the common cold, the flu, etc.
