Hi, just joined and was going through threads and am a safe sex freak, so wanted to pass on some info. Herpes is a "genital std" but can show up on other body parts. Hence a person with herpes can have an outbreak that shows up on thier hands or other body parts. I know its rare, but my stepmother was unable to hold certain jobs because of this. (although she and my father were married for 13 or so years and he never contacted it) Also when you go to get tested, you have to ask specifically for a herpes test and that can cost up to $150. Alot of doctors don't test without evidence of actual sores as so much of the population is infected, its not considered "dangerous", and is incurable.
Just wanted to pass it along.
