Happies Dating?

According to the American Social Health Association, 50% of Americans already test positive for Herpes Simplex, Type 1 by age 13. Most people don’t know cold sores are actually a form of the herpes virus; the very same as genital herpes. A simple Google search for 'herpes dating' reveals a startling number of sites devoted to hooking people up who have this specific STD. This seems like a good idea until you realize that it's really unnecessary for there to be specific dating sites for people who have a skin rash on a certain part of their bodies.

Occurs Everywhere, But Can't Kill You

Herpes cannot kill you, but it can affect newborn children. Herpes simplex occurring in babies is fatal in only 1 birth out of every 100,000 births from mothers who have it, and it is not passed along 100% of the time. Not to mention the fact that the whole issue of herpes in newborns can be sidestepped by using cesarian sections. Herpes is transmitted through direct skin contact. Many people don’t know they have it. The rash that appears doesn’t look like anything out of the ordinary. In most cases it looks like little cuts or normal chafing. Doctors who screen for STD's actually consider most rashes on the genitals to be herpes until proven otherwise. Herpes occurs in outbreaks about 4 or 5 times a year, but the number can be affected by things like stress. A fever with flu-like symptoms can accompany the first outbreak. The initial outbreak is usually the worst outbreak.

It's All The Same

Doctors used to think that the virus on the mouth was different from the one that occurred on the genitals. This is reason for the Type 1 and Type 2 distinction that you might have heard about. According to Dr. Drew Pinsky the medical literature clearly shows that both can occur in either place.

Treatment & Prevention

There is no cure, but herpes can be very effectively contained through the use of antiviral medication. The medications reduce the amount of virus that's produced which reduces the risk of transmission, makes outbreaks less severe, and reduces the number of outbreaks per year. With proper diagnosis and treatment, herpes becomes a condition that can be controlled and lived with. Most commonly, herpes is transmitted through sexual contact. There is no truly safe sex, but the risk of transmission can be lessened significantly. A condom should be worn in all sexual encounters. Since herpes can occur both around the mouth and on the genitals, herpes can be transmitted through unprotected oral sex. A condom works very well for oral sex performed on men. A dental dam(a flat sheet of latex) can be used for performed on women. Since dental dams are not widely available, a condom can be cut lengthwise and unrolled to be used. Even though condoms are good, care should be taken to not have sex during an active outbreak as this is when a person is most contagious.

Plaguery

There should be no stigma about herpes. It is a reoccurring skin rash, nothing more, nothing less. It can be treated very well with medication. It is easily preventable with condoms. Even though these are the facts, 82% of people with herpes experience depression along with their first outbreak. According to the Canadian Journal of CME in June, 2001. Let’s get rid of this stigma. Can we stop treating people who have this affliction like they have some sort of plague?
