1 in 5 Americans have Genital Herpes, do you believe that?!


Question: 1 in 5 Americans have Genital Herpes, do you believe that!?
I just got done watching the commercial we have all seen that states '1 in 5 Americans have Genital Herpes'!. So I started thinking about how big of a number that is!. Think about it!. On average, according to the commecial, every fifth person you see has Herpes, give or take a few!. I could not believe this so I did some research!. All the top sources say the same thing!. 1 in 5 people have Genital Herpes, but only 1 out of 3 know they have it!. So how would the doctors and researchers know they have it!? First of all, anyone who knows anything about medicine knows that the doctor HAS to tell the patient the truth about their health!. Doctors cannot know anything about you that you do not know!. So anyone who has actually tested positive, knows they have it!. However, since only 1 out of 3 people out of 20% know they have it (have tested positve), that means only 06% of Americans are PROVEN to have it!. So out of the other 94%, they have to estimate!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If true that is scary!. It makes me want to get checked out for the simplex!. And you made an interesting point on how large of a number that would be!. 1 in 5 is a lot of people!. I dont think its true!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, out of all the people I know Four have admitted they have herpes to me
I mean think about this ~ these four people admitted to me they had it but of the rest of my friends they may have it but not admitting it!.

Oh and for the record I have been checked two times in the past 3 years and don't have it but will let you know if I do in the futureWww@Answer-Health@Com

Many people who have herpes show no symptoms whatsoever, but they still transmit it!. Also keep in mind, if you have a cold sore, thats a form of herpes too and if you create contact with the genitals with a cold sore you've just given someone genital herpes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
