Does Herpes Always Need Signs?
Posted: 09-26-04 15:47pm

I have a doctor, and she tells me I showed small amounts of herpes 1 in my system, and when I ask her for more info she brushes me off like everythings "okay". What in the hell do I do?

I Had the Same Problem

I just went the hospital paid $75 and had my blood taken. Doctors are great, and at times they can suck. I realize my doctor is only interested in one thing, and that is my insurance payments. You should be forceful because hsv1 can spread if you give head to a girl, to her genitals. I hear people saying it can not be spread through kissing, although according to cdc it can be. So it is worth know if you have it. Take comfort in the fact that more than half of all americans have it by age 20, according to valtrex.Com

Herpes, is really not that much of a problem, if you show no symptoms.
The infected cells are dormant and can't spread the disease.
Once your imune system is down.. During a flu for example, there can be small bubbles around your lips. Then you have to be very cautios and never touch these with your hands or you will smear the disease to other body parts. You can treate the bubbles with certain salves and once they are gone, you are no longer infectios.

The disease stays in your body though and once your imune system is down again, the bubbles will return...
