Anyone here ever get Herpes?

It is really kind of sad that herpes is so stigmatized. It's not harmful. Just periodic skin disturbance. But, people are made to feel completely ashamed of it.

A lot of good information in this thread.

1 in 6 people have genital herpes, a vast majority of which don't ever have an outbreak so they expose others unknowingly.

You can still contract herpes while wearing a condom (the same with the virus that causes genital warts).

Male to female transmission is much more likely than female to male transmission.

I've also read that having oral herpes, type 1, can become genital herpes, type 2, through oral sex. I'm not sure about that one though so don't quote me..

Considering if you've ever had a cold sore, you have herpes, I'm assuming far more people on this board have herpes than they think

I've taken to keeping on my boxer briefs and pulling my dick through the hole (while wearing a condom, of course) in order to avoid catching the herp.

I'm not sure if it helps but I don't think it hurts..

But I'm scared like shit to get herpes. Just don't want to deal with the stigma.

You know, there's a really cool strain of incurable gonorrhea that's going around right now.

You think herpes is bad? Try having an incurable case of the clap.

Researchers found that nine of the 133 patients with gonorrhea who were treated at a Toronto clinic still had the disease after being treated with the oral antibiotic cephalosporins. This marks the first time that cephalosporin-resistant gonorrhea has been found on the continent.

"We've heard of such cases in Asia and Europe. Now it's happening in North America," Dr. Robert Kirkcaldy, medical epidemiologist in the Division of STD Prevention at CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, said to NPR. "It's very concerning."

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria. It can be spread through contact with the mouth, vagina, penis or anus and thrives in warm, moist areas of the body.

Symptoms in men include burning and pain while urinating, increased urinary frequency or urgency, penis discharge, red or swollen opening of the penis, tender or swollen testicles and/or a sore throat. Women experience vaginal discharge, burning and pain while urinating, increased urination, sore throat, painful sexual intercourse, pain in the lower abdomen and fever. Arthritis-like symptoms and rashes can occur if the infection has spread in to the blood stream.

An antibiotic-resistant strain of gonorrhea—now considered a superbug—has some analysts saying that the bacteria’s effects could match those of AIDS.

“This might be a lot worse than AIDS in the short run because the bacteria is more aggressive and will affect more people quickly,” said Alan Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine.

Even though nearly 30 million people have died from AIDS related causes worldwide, Christianson believes the effect of the gonorrhea bacteria is more direct.

“Getting gonorrhea from this strain might put someone into septic shock and death in a matter of days,” Christianson said. “This is very dangerous.”

“It’s an emergency situation,” said William Smith, executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors. “As time moves on, it’s getting more hazardous.”

This gonorrhea strain, HO41, was discovered in Japan two years ago in a 31-year-old female sex worker who had been screened in 2009.

The bacteria has since been found in Hawaii, California and Norway.

Because it resists current antibiotic treatment, the strain has been placed in the superbug category with other resistant bacteria, such as MRSA and CRE.

These superbugs kill about half the people they attack, and nearly one in 20 hospital patients become infected with one, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
