If u have genital herpes?!


Question: can it lead to aids if left untreated?


Answers: can it lead to aids if left untreated?

No, herpes is herpes it isn't going to lead to AIDS. Herpes is a virus just like AIDS that has no cure. If left untreated it can cause you to not be able to have children. Treatment suppresses the outbreaks and heals the sores alot sooner. It needs to be treated to prevent further outbreaks or serious long term conditions.

No it cannot. They are separate diseases... both are viruses, but neither one can lead to the other.

You are perhaps more susceptible to catching the HIV virus if you already have herpes, but you still have to be exposed to it to catch it.

No, they are two completely different viruses.

absolutely not.....herpes and hiv/aids are two completely different diseases. however if you do have herpes you are more susceptible to hiv/aids because of the open sores. which is why people with herpes have to be extra careful when it comes to sex not only to prevent transmission but to protect themselves.
