First, i'll tell you that there are two different types of herpes -- one is Herpes Simplex Virus "A", and the other is Herpes Simplex Virus "B."
I can't recall which is which off the top of my head, but one of the types is a sexually transmitted infection, which is spread through genital contact (or contact with an infected toilet seat...). The other is spread through contact with mucous membranes... like sharing forks, cigarettes, cups, kissing... that kind of stuff.
So, yea -- it's true that you can get herpes by sharing cups -- but, it's not the same kind of herpes you get from sex or infected toilet seats.
If I were diagnosed with herpes (the one you get from cups), it'd be no big deal -- lots of people have it, and aside from the inconvenience of cold-sores, it's not an issue. If I were diagnosed with the genital herpes, I'd tell the person -- it's the right thing to do. I'd also take the medications used to treat it.
ur dumb
Well if i was diagnosed with herpes and found the person i was in love with i'd be honest with them and if they still wanted to be with me We would just have to do everything we could to protect them from contracting it, And if you have herpes of the mouth then yes you can pass it on in those ways
Genital herpes is a highly contagious infection usually spread through intercourse with a person with infected sores, but it can be passed through oral or anal sex as well. It may also be spread even when sores are not visible.
Genital herpes can also be transmitted (spread) to a newborn during birth if the mother has an active infection.
What Causes Genital Herpes?
Usually, this infection is caused by the herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) although herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), the virus responsible for cold sores, may occasionally cause this disease. It can be spread by an infected partner who does not have any sores and may not even know they have the disease.
How Common Is Genital Herpes?
At least 45 million American adults and adolescents have genital herpes -- that's 1 out of every 4 to 5 people, making it one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. Since the late 1970s, the number of Americans with genital herpes infection has increased 30%, mostly in teens and young adults.
Genital herpes is more common in women than in men.
How Do I Know If I Have Genital Herpes?
Most people infected with genital herpes have very minimal or no signs or symptoms of their disease. The first attack of herpes usually follows this course:
Skin on or near the sex organ becomes inflamed. Skin may burn, itch or be painful.
Blister-like sores appear on or near the sex organs.
Sores open, scab over, and then heal.
Symptoms that may also be present when the virus first appears include:
Swollen glands
Fever
Headache
Burning when passing urine
Muscle aches
The first outbreak of herpes can last for several weeks. After the outbreak, the virus retreats to the nervous system, where it remains inactive until something triggers it to become active again.
Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first episode. Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease over a period of years.
How Often Do Outbreaks Happen?
How often outbreaks occur depends on the person. On average, people with herpes experience about four outbreaks a year. The first outbreak usually is the most painful and takes the longest to heal. The pain and recovery time often decrease with each outbreak.
What Triggers an Outbreak?
It depends on the person. Some commonly reported triggers include:
Stress
Illness
Surgery
Vigorous sex
Diet
Monthly period
How Are Genital Herpes Diagnosed?
Your doctor can diagnose genital herpes by visual inspection if the outbreak is typical, and by taking a sample from the sore(s). But, HSV infections can be difficult to diagnose between outbreaks. Your doctor may check for ulcers internally -- on the cervix in women and the urethra in men. Blood tests that detect HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection may be helpful, although the results are not always easy to interpret
JED
tell them... you just have to be careful and dont do oral stuff when you have just a cold sore and do nothing when you have a breakout. cold sore + oral sex = giving your parnter herpes..
Hows the herpes going?
Ifyou are sexually active with the person you love and want to be him you need to tell him or her to get tested and not have unprotected sex.
If you have genital herpers you cant infect someone by sharing a cup or cigarett if you dont actively have mouth sores.
You can however infect someone orally if you have genital sores and vise versa if you have unprotected oral sex, so refrain from this activity or use a dental dam everytime, regardless of wether you have sores or not
Genital herpes?? If that's the case you must be honest and tell him/her. It is contagious even with oral sex. The other, still stay away from oral sex while infected, and yes you can spread it that way and person to person.
well i believe if you love tell them, tell them. i'm completely honest with my bf. now so far as the sharing cups and cigarettes idk
HSV1 (usually oral) and HSV2 (usually genital) can cross infect through oral sex, yes. HSV1 can be transmitted very easily orally which is why 80-90% of people have cold sores. Genital Herpes is transmitted through skin to skin contact, not through inanimate objects.
Which kind of Herpes were you diagnosed with?
I have HSV2 without any symptoms. When I met my fiance, I had to be honest with him. He still accepted me. If you have already had intercourse with the person, you need to be honest and tell them ASAP. Relationships end more often because of dishonesty and feeling betrayed than from one partner having Herpes.
