I am not too sure on this cause I don't have that crap...so I can't speak from personal experience, but I don't think with the Herp it makes a bit of diference on whether or not it's visible, YOU CAN STILL SPREAD IT EITHER WAY.

If you dont know then why are you spreading misinformation.
Dumbass.

The commercial for that herpes medicine says you can spread it without showing symptoms. Which I'd take as true, since you generally don't want to advertise "this will clear you up, but you're still contageous," but are required to.

My point was dont say something as fact if you dont know its true. If you are going to say something, atleast know its true instead of saying:
"i am not to sure" "i dont think...."

Its not to hard to look stuff up on google.

Um.. that's a different kind of herpes.

I'd look it up some more but i dont want coworkers seeing me doing research on herpes...

Are we talking about Oral Herpes/ Cold Sores (Mouth Herpes)?


LOL, you are funny. You yell at me and say that I'm spreading incorect info on it. Then I asked if you were an expert, and your response was "did I say I know about it?" The interesting thing is you are on here posting more then anyone else acting like you are an expert or something, very funny!!!!

They're both bad. And chances are that he has herpes simplex type I. There are two types of herpes simplex virii:

HSV Type I - This virus is the one that is usually responsible for the cold sores around the mouth. It's usually spread through the saliva of an infected person.

HSV Type II - This one you get by coming into contact with a person that has a genital HSV-2 infection. It usually produces rather painful sores in the genital area.


Also, as someone mentioned earlier, it is possible to get herpes from a person who does not have an active outbreak with all the symptoms.

Also roughly 5% of oral Herpes is caused by HSV-2...

Keep in mind that just because you don't get cold sores doesn't mean you don't have the virus...it's latent in a lot of people. While you can still spread it without open sores, the viral load is extremely low compared to active lesions.
 
it'll Buff right out...

Its funny, I remember a while ago, my friend's mouth area was full of red sores. I said to him, dude you have herpes, stop going down on dirty women. He said, its not herpes, its cold sores. LOL

Here's the way herpes works.

It's in the herpes (obviously, along with mono, hiv, chicken pox) family. It is usually dormant, unless your immune system is lowered (typically by stress or a quick weather change). You can only spread the virus while it is "shedding" (meaning while it is actively attacking you). Typically, this means you see signs of infection from it while it is shedding, such as the bump on your lip, BUT YOU DON'T have to...

The good thing about herpes? It sounds weird, but it's one of the better std's to get in that it's very unlikely to cause real harm, even less so then the curable ones. Soem odd 60% of the people who get it never have an outbreak (their immune system is too high). Of the remaining 40%, only 50% of those have more then 1 outbreak (think chicken pox, but it's stronger... once you have it, you develop antibodies, but you CAN still get it again... only if your immune system drops.). With each outbreak, your chances of reoccurances drop.
