Genital Herpes - Have You Got This Dreaded Disease?

Statistically, there's an excellent chance that you do not have genital herpes. However, whether you have another type of herpes or not is a different story altogether.

Herpes Blitz Protocol

Here are the facts: The Center for Disease Control estimates that 90% of the population of the United States has one form of herpes or another.

Nationwide, at least 45 million men, women and children age 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have genital herpes.

The vast majority of genital herpes victims are totally unaware that they have the disease because most of them are asymptomatic. In other words, they have no noticeable symptoms whatsoever.

The only way you can be certain that you are disease free, is if you've:

Never kissed anyone.

Never indulged in heavy petting below the waist.

Never had sex!

Can Genital Herpes be Cured?

The answer is no. Herpes cannot be cured... (yet). Once you contract herpes simplex, it's with you for life. There are two major types of herpes simplex virus:

HSV-1 (usually referred to as oral herpes or cold sores).

HSV-2 (usually referred to as genital herpes).

However, they are not site specific. This means that you can contract HSV-1 on the genitals and HSV-2 can appear on the face and mouth.

If you do have symptoms and experience the occasional outbreak from either variety, once the outbreak passes, herpes goes into remission. In other words, it becomes latent, but it's always there, lurking in your nervous system and ready to infect someone else. If you have visible signs or sores, the virus is active. To complicate matters further, even without visible symptoms, you never know when the virus is replicating itself and therefore in its 'shedding' stage.
