Does anyone know what is the estimate of the number of people that are
infected with Herpes but do not know about it?
Is there are any way to know when you got infected with Herpes?

Might someone be contagious if they definitely have oral herpes but have not
had a blister for some time?
Thanks.

A couple of weeks ago I started noticing this sores (kind of like
pimples) in my pelvic area. A friend of mine noticed this in the Gym

sore on the genitals and its rather painful and raw feeling. Herpes always
manages to throw me a curved ball. What a nice Christmas present!

I have a new party who has informed me she has herpes.  Not even sure
what kind.
We always use condoms.
What else can I do to protect myself?

I wanted to write and wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
I've put together a fun little poll just in case you guys have time to
participate. Any new interesting tid bits in the Community can also be found
on the Herpes Blog.

I am just starting to take a medicine called Effexor XR to limit ...

I have a question and I am not sure if anyone will know the answer, but here

and HSV2 genital as well as HPV. Before I met my girlfriend she was getting
