DO YOU HAVE HERPES? (1 in 4 have it) lets test this out

[alien amp pharm]

I just had a complete STD test (blood, urine, & cotton swab) done last week.

Called a couple days ago and she said everything was negative.

Would that pick herpes up, or do you have to be having an outbreak for it to show up? I had a raw looking place years back on my peepee, but went away in a day. Never had anything show up otherwise, but that made me paranoid.

probably oral but who cares?

I think the vote is squewed for some reason. If any of you have had German Meassles, you got Herpies. There are several other deseases which are a strain of the Herpies Virus. You may not get outbreaks, and they may not be transmissable, you gotz them. that cracked lip in the sun or from winter's cold may also be a sign you have the virus. I think Chicken Pox is also a Herpies strain; although, most people under 40 never had it thanks to vacinations.

Good questions regarding the strains and such. Can HSV-1 be spread to other body parts? My understanding is the outbreak is only in the oral area. HSV-2 can be on anything where you touched the infection. Can a blood test or other test actually detect HSV-1 or HSV-2? In both cases, outbreaks last about 8 to 12 days without special treatment, and during that period it is transmittable.

I gotz #1, and know when it is starting by the feel on the lips. Contact prohibited after that. Sun and Stress are the 2 main triggers. Lots of lip balm for me always.

Odds are you already have it and just don't show any symptoms.

There are now two vaccines available this year vaccinating against Shingles (a herpes strain) and hpv specific to women potentially leading to cervical cancer. Both vaccines are approved and are awaiting final launch within 6 months.

Other vaccines associated with these diseases are only a few years away.

not yet but i'm only 31 so there is still plenty of time!

as a note- upwards of 80% of the populations is at a minimum a carrier for one of the herpes viruses.

HPV is the same or higher.

I have never had a cold sore as in the large ones on the outside of the lips. I have , however, had small whiteish blisters inside my lower lip sometimes when I get too much sun. Is that a type of cold sore/ herpes ?
