Default Re: Herpes Again

You should read a few of Good times posts on the subject. The estimates of how many people are infected with HSV2 is an overly conservative estimate. Hard data is difficult to come by since the only way to confirm you are actually infected with HSV2 is to swab the sores when they are present. Doing a blood test only confirms that you were exposed to the virus and have antibodies present in your blood stream. It doesn't confirm you actually have HSV2. This is also why most doctors won't bother to test for it unless specifically asked (unless you have active sores for them to swab).

Not trying to discuss any of your other comments regarding people swinging with or without it etc., just suggesting you check out those posts, some great info there.
