Just adding my info in as well...I am a social worker by trade and I am non judgemental and (unfortunatly sometimes) people just love to confide deep dark secrets to me. I know a ton of people with herpes. I know women who have had children after herpes, they were fine. I had sex with someone who I found out through the grapevine has herpes, I don't know if he had it when I was with him and didn't know it or not, or if he lied. I have never had any symptoms and have since had a child and all the testing done during that time and no one mentioned anything. Do I think I could be asymptomatic... maybe. It is possible, after reading the comments on this site, I will not make the mistake of being tested. If I do happen to have it, it is not causing any problems.
Just a couple thoughts...I know so many people with it, I think those who have had a lot of multiple partners are kidding themselves not to think that they probably have it. Same with HPV. Just to put it in numbers, if you have had sex with 10 people at least 3 HAVE HAD IT, and either didn't know or didn't tell you. Denial, denial, denial.
