I have a quick comment about the poll. The last option says that herpes is no threat once a person is already infected. This is not true. The effect, number of outbreaks, ease of transmission all vary between viruses.

I have Simplex 1 and got it from someones coldsore on their mouth. I have had 3 outbreaks in 5 years and I only get one sore at the same location.

If I were to have sex with another infected individual, I could just as easily catch another strain of the virus which could inturn increase the severity and frequency of my outbreaks.

Point is, just because a person has herpes doesn't mean their immune from contracting more herpes viruses, so it is still important to use proper protection with any partner.
