"I want your love, I want your disease...

[R_C]

...I want your everything" (Lady Gaga)

So you meet someone and things are going very well. You enjoy each other's company and you have a lot in common. You think that this could be the one. After a couple of weeks he/she says they want to tell you something. "I have Herpes but it's under control because I take medication everyday".

Would this be a deal breaker for you ?

Re: &quot;I want your love, I want your disease...

Have you ever check the statistics for herpes in the US?
Many don't even know what they have. since a large percent have no health insurance,and get only over the counter treatment for the symptoms.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: BiziBubbla</div><div class="ubbcode-body">after couple weeks, i would hightail it outa there like mi name Bizi Bolt.

Re: &quot;I want your love, I want your disease...

and yu knoe there are doctors out there telling people its not contagious unless you see the symptons..eediat...

[Dr.Dudd]

Re: &quot;I want your love, I want your disease...

The problem is that it is not [b]always contagious.

and some of the times when it is asymptomatic is is not contagious. But it is difficult to recognize those times. If a person have it and it is asymptomatic without treatment (dormant), it is usually not contagious.
But if it is asymptomatic with medication it can be contagious.
reason is that it is the symptoms that are treated, not the disease.
so just because the symptoms are absent does not make it automatically dormant.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Jaded</div><div class="ubbcode-body">and yu knoe there are doctors out there telling people its not contagious unless you see the symptons..eediat...

This is not true. Acyclovir, Valacyclovir and Famciclovir <span style="font-style: italic">treat</span> the disease. They are antivirals. They are incorporated into viral DNA and stop replication of the active virus.

What they don't do is <span style="font-style: italic">cure </span>one of genital herpes because latent viral colonies in the sacral ganglia are not exposed to these drugs.
