Answers:
About 1 in 5 adults has genital herpes and 50-80 percent of the population has oral herpes (can cause cold sores).
I found out that I had herpes and felt I had to tell my boy friend. He was the only guy I had been with for the past 3 years and the same with him. I was shocked, hurt, ashamed, and felt dirty. My boy friend doesn't get all that emotional but he was shocked and there was a few moments of silence when I told him on the phone when I got my results. When he got tested he found out that he had herpes too and didn't know that he had them.Health Question & Answer

when i found out i had it, i wondered who gave it to me. then i was pretty sure i knew. i was very mad bc i thought i was pregnant and the guy who gave it to me kept asking me whats the results bc they decided to test me and not just for pregnancy. i was sooo mad i cried and chokedup. but im grateful to god he hasnt given me an outbreak and i pray alot about it.Health Question & Answer
I don't have any statistics, but I do have herpes. If I would have known the guy who gave them to me had them, I wouldn't have slept with him. I've told every guy I planned on sleeping with after I found out that I had it and they chose to still sleep with me knowing the risks....SO FARHealth Question & Answer
