Pros and Cons of a Herpes Blood Test

STOP Herpes Now and From Coming Back for Good

                

>>  Instantly STOP The Bloody HERPES. Click Here <<

 

A new herpes blood test has just come onto the market and is the center of much controversy. The most accurate method of determining if you have herpes or not is by doing a direct swab from an open sore, be it oral or genital. This will tell you if you have Type One or Type Two herpes. However, the herpes blood test cannot determine accurately between the two types.

The herpes blood test actually tests for antibodies, which your body should have created when it first recognized the disease. While this tells you that you have been infected with the herpes simplex virus in the past, it will not be able to tell you how long you have been infected. The herpes blood test doesn?t detect if the virus is in your body, either, only the antibodies, so it can?t be used to tell you what type you have or where it is.

While you may be experiencing symptoms that seem to be herpes-related, this doesn?t mean that you have the virus. The herpes blood test cannot tell you if your symptoms are being caused by herpes or something else. The best way is to swap a sore to see if what you are experiencing is caused by HPV. If so, then you can begin treatment.

So, what good is a herpes blood test? Well, it gives the doctor a better idea of whether or not herpes is a possibility to consider. If no antibodies are detected, chances are that you don?t have it. However, some people can be carriers and not realize it, having never experienced an outbreak or anything else and the herpes blood test can let them know that there is a very good possibility that they are infected and may be passing the infection on to others.

There are actually specific herpes blood tests for Type One or Type Two herpes that will tell you if you have had problems with these types of the virus in the past. The blood tests are more accurate than a general herpes blood test and will be administered if the doctor has reason to believe that you are suffering from one particular type of herpes, genital or oral.

The herpes blood tests available are still not up to par with the actual swab test. However, if you aren?t sure about whether or not you have been exposed, they can be useful in determining this. Herpes blood tests are also very useful in that they can determine if you are a potential carrier of the disease.

Negotiation Is The Path To Herpes Peace

STOP Herpes Now and From Coming Back for Good

You need to make peace with your herpes. I understand the instinct to want to fight herpes, to ?annihilate it? as one young man told me. I fought herpes for nine years and lost. I didn?t start winning my own personal battle with herpes until I made peace with it and with myself. You cannot win a war against herpes. Like Israel and Hezbollah or the Hutus and Tutsi or the Catholics and Protestants in Ulster you will have to find a way to peacefully co-exist. Herpes is for life, but how peaceful that life is up to you.

Negotiation is the path to herpes peace. Here are some rules of herpes diplomacy that I learned during my nine-year struggle. The same rules can apply when dealing with HPV or any other disease.

1. Treat your adversary with respect. Understand and recognize what herpes is and what?s its purpose in your body. You can review the chapter in my book entitled ?The Mystical-Magical Herpes Virus? for a refresher.

2. Be willing to speak and listen openly and sincerely with the virus. There is a visualization exercise in the book to aide in this.

3. Negotiate in good faith with the virus to come up with a win-win situation for your mutual benefit. The deal I stuck with the virus was this: ?I understand that you are in my body for life and I will stop projecting anger, bitterness and resentment towards you and in return I require that you conduct yourself like a well-behaved guest. If I treat my body well with the right diet and not allow myself to get too far out of balance you must agree to stay dormant?.

4. Practice Patience. Real peace agreements rarely happen overnight. Being impatient and anxious will show the virus that you are weak and desperate and will reduce your leverage in the negotiation.

5. Practice Perseverance. You must be in it for the long haul. You must have the commitment and stamina to see the peace process through. Whenever peace negotiations break down usually the situation on the ground worsens.

Peace is always better than war, especially a war you cannot win. With all the strife and suffering in this world, why not make your own body into a haven of peace?

Oral Herpes

STOP Herpes Now and From Coming Back for Good

                

>>  Instantly STOP The Bloody HERPES. Click Here <<

 

Herpes, both oral and genital, is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus. While oral Herpes is caused by HSV-1, genital Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the HSV-2 virus.

The common symptoms for both oral and genital herpes include the appearance of sores on the body. These sores appear on different parts of the body. In case of genital herpes, they appear on the genital area. In oral herpes, they appear on or in the mouth.

Most people infected with oral herpes are not even aware of the fact that they have the disease. This is because people usually don?t associate these blisters or soars with herpes. These soars usually last for a few weeks and then gradually dry out.

Oral herpes is an infectious disease that can spread by touching, kissing, or sexual contact. It is prominent amongst children because they pass on the disease to the non-infected children also.

Herpes can also be passed from adults to children through a simple good night kiss. Oral herpes is usually not frightening and can be controlled by treatment and preventive measures, but for a person with an impaired nervous system, it can prove to be fatal.

People can take some precautions to prevent further spread of herpes. Frequent and washing and avoiding touching infected areas are two good ideas. Also, remember that you need to take precautions with infants because their nervous systems may not be able to cope with the pressure of the disease. Adults with babies should avoid cuddling or touching them till the symptoms subside.

Oral herpes can be painful if people don?t take the necessary preventive measures. One measure is to take anti-viral tablets. Generally, herpes recurrence will not happen if you take medication. The other thing is people should try to remain stress free because higher stress levels prolong the disease.

What is Oral & Genital Herpes?

STOP Herpes Now and From Coming Back for Good

                

>>  Instantly STOP The Bloody HERPES. Click Here <<

 

There are two types of herpes infections, oral herpes and genital herpes; both are contagious. The most insidious fact about herpes is that it can be an "invisible virus;" it is possible for a person to have and to spread either type of herpes virus and not even know that he or she has herpes.

The virus that infects a person with oral herpes is named "herpes simplex type 1." The virus that infects a person with genital herpes is named "herpes simplex type 2." Both types of herpes are spread by direct contact with an infected area or by contact with a body fluid from that area.

There is no known cure for either type of herpes; it is permanent, but not always active. A person with oral herpes or genital herpes may have one or several outbreaks in his or her life.

Oral Herpes and It's Symptoms

Oral herpes symptoms include blisters or cold sores on the lips and in the mouth that can develop into painful ulcers. If the gums are infected they will become red and puffy. Oral herpes may also cause a fever, aching muscles and swollen glands in the neck. An initial outbreak may last from two to three weeks.

Oral herpes is very common among children. Children share each other's straws and eating utensils and generally have a lot of physical contact with one another playing sports and just generally roughhousing. Children are also subject to being kissed by visiting close friends and relatives who are completely unaware that they have oral herpes.

Genital Herpes and its Symptoms

Genital herpes symptoms include blisters and pain in the genital areas. Blisters may appear on the penis, scrotum, vagina, in the cervix or on the thighs and buttocks. Initial symptoms include an itch or pain in an infected area, fever, headache, swollen glands in the groin, a painful or burning sensation during urination and possibly a thick, clear fluid discharge from the penis or vagina. The blisters may become painful sores. An initial episode of genital herpes may last from one to three weeks.

Preventing Herpes

It is possible to prevent a herpes infection by avoiding direct contact with blisters, sores or ulcers that appear on someone's mouth or genitals. Keeping in mind that herpes can be an "invisible virus," it is a good idea to avoid physical or intimate contact with anyone you suspect may carry either virus.

Teach your children that putting something in their mouth that has been in someone else's mouth is never a good idea. They should also be warned that when someone has a cut or sore they should be very careful to avoid touching it because of the "germs" that they might catch. Adults and teenagers who are sexually active should never have unprotected sex with someone who they even suspect may be infected by genital herpes. The use of a condom will provide some measure of protection but not complete protection. The only complete protection is abstinence.

A pregnant women who has ever had an outbreak of genital herpes should inform her obstetrician well before her due date, so the obstetrician can, if necessary, discuss and plan for a non-vaginal delivery.

Treating Herpes

It is worth mentioning again that all a doctor or a medication can do is treat symptoms of an outbreak of herpes with an antiviral medicine -- there is no cure.

If your child has cold sores that do not disappear within ten days, or has a history of frequent cold sores, take him or her to a doctor.

Vaginal Yeast or Vaginal Herpes?

STOP Herpes Now and From Coming Back for Good

                

>>  Instantly STOP The Bloody HERPES. Click Here <<

 

Article Description: Vaginal yeast and vaginal herpes share similar symptoms. This article is designed to help women better understand what is vaginal yeast, vaginal herpes, their symptoms and to better make the difference between them.

Vaginal Yeast or Vaginal Herpes?

Vaginal yeast and vaginal herpes share similar symptoms. Vaginal yeast is very common among women. Actually 3/4 of women have one vaginal yeast episode in their lives and half of them have several episodes. Vaginal herpes or genital herpes is less common but rapidly spreading. About 25% of all pregnant women have genital herpes and 20% of the population has genital herpes. I believe these figures are underrated. Women are more likely to get genital herpes than men and genital herpes contamination in the US increased by 30% from the late 70's to the early 90's and keeps increasing on a daily basis.

Vaginal yeast is caused by fungi called Candida albicans. They are tiny organisms that normally live in small numbers on the skin and inside the vagina. The vaginal environment is naturally acidic. When its fragile PH balance is disturbed and becomes less acidic yeast starts overgrowing causing vaginal yeast infection. Many things can modify vaginal acidic balance; periods, pregnancy, diabetes, some antibiotics, birth control pills, steroids, friction and so forth. I actually got vaginal yeast from a swimming pool. It seemed the chloride it contained was too strong.

Vaginal or genital herpes is caused by a virus that is usually transmitted from skin to skin contact during sexual intercourse. The virus may remain dormant for a while and when triggered cause an infection. Vaginal herpes triggers are not as easily identified as for vaginal yeast. But they usually are associated with periods or menstruation, long-term stress and anything that could weaken your immune system.

Vaginal yeast and vaginal herpes can both cause vaginal discharge, burning, itching, irritation, redness, bladder infection like symptoms, swelling and blisters. So how do we sort them out? Here are a few pointers. Vaginal herpes itching and burning is usually restricted to one or two specific locations whereas vaginal yeast may cause itching everywhere in the vagina and the vulva. The same thing applies for swelling. Vaginal herpes may cause a lump somewhere in the vulva or vagina but not cause general swelling of the vulva except maybe in very severe first herpes episodes. Vaginal discharge associated with vaginal yeast is usually odorless and white or watery whereas when associated with herpes it can be thick, smelly and yellow. Symptoms vary greatly from woman to woman. Blisters are not very common for vaginal yeast whereas they are part of the normal symptoms of genital herpes. Genital herpes blisters usually turn into sores, then crusts and back into healthy skin within a few days. Blisters and crusts are not usually associated with candida albicans infections. During a herpes infection, flu like symptoms may appear 24 to 48 hours before any itchiness is perceived especially during the first episode. This is not the case with vaginal yeast infections.

If you have any doubts and blisters start forming you may want to visit your doctor immediately to have a swab test performed. Swab tests are performed locally to detect the presence of herpes in a blister. The sooner you take the test, the better because result accuracy is optimal when samples are obtained before any sores have appeared.

I hope this article will help you better understand the differences between vaginal yeast and vaginal herpes. It is recommended for both conditions to use cotton underwear and loose clothing and avoid friction. So it may be a good idea to follow these guidelines anyway.

Love in a Time of Herpes

STOP Herpes Now and From Coming Back for Good

Love in a Time of Herpes

I was born in 1965- a year often considered the first year of "generation-x". The previous generation- the baby-boomers like my parents, grew up in a time of free love. My mother didn't take advantage of this but my father sure did, but that's another story.

Us gen-x'ers were the first generation to have to deal with AIDS and the fallout from it. Instead of the sexual revolution we had fear and loathing in our own pants.

Now as a Holistic Herpes Treatment Specialist I treat a lot of teenagers and people in the early twenties who are exploring their sexuality in a time were we are no longer nearly as afraid of AIDS as we were in the eighties but where almost everyone has herpes. I often see girls as young as 15 who already have herpes and who got it from their first sexual experience. No one told them they could get herpes from fellatio. No one told them much of anything about sexually transmitted infections. It's a sad sad thing to have to tell a teenager that they now have a life-long incurable disease and have to warn potential sex partners about it beforehand. This sentence drives many to the brink of despair. One 17 year old who got herpes from her first and only sex partner was crying hysterically on the phone with me, asking how in her small town of 1500 people can she tell anyone that she has herpes? She said she won't date or have sex again until she moves far away, and I believe her.

With oral sex being as common as hand-shakes used to be, why aren't we educating grade school students about sexually transmitted infections? Very few of the most at-risk population know that they can catch or pass on herpes when there are no signs of an outbreak. They don't know that they can get herpes on their genitals from contact with people who get cold sores on their mouth. They aren't empowered to say no way when they encounter sores and rashes and are told that "they are nothing".

Further exasperating the situation is the porn industry being a bad role model. Like myself and most my generation, young people these days get a lot of their sex education from being exposed to porn. In the adult film industry condoms are almost never worn during oral sex and only worn during anal and oral sex about 40% of the time. I did three years of research into the adult film industry and learned that porn performers are tested monthly or more often for HIV but are rarely tested for herpes or HPV. Very few porn performers admit their herpes infections for fear of losing work and a backlash from their fans. What kind of society do we live in where even porn performers are afraid to admit that they have herpes?

My older patients don't tend to fare much better than the younger ones. They don't know the facts about love in a time of herpes and most didn't do much to try and educate themselves. And for the ones that do try to educate themselves through the internet they are confronted with a wilderness of websites saying many contradictory things, spreading a lot of misinformation and luring people with magical quick-fixes and snake oils. The message doesn't seem to be getting out to people that there are no quick-fixes for a life-long viral infection, that herpes cannot be managed with topical oils, or creams or liquids and that herbal medicine or drug therapy combined with proper diet, stress reduction and making peace with herpes are the only ways I have seen in my 15 years of experience to successfully manage herpes over the long-haul.

Because the fear of catching the HIV virus isn't what it used to be, too many people are becoming complacent about practicing safer sex. Many tell me they don't want to use condoms because of the lack of spontaneity. Many want the risk and pleasure of unprotected sex. I can relate to all of this, I don't particularly like condoms myself. But in this day and age it is not smart to have unprotected sex with someone you are not very sure you are in a monogamous relationship with. Unless this is the case do use a condom/dental dam or anti-viral gel or better yet use them both together. Oral sex is sex and is risky sex so do practice safer sex with fellatio and cunnilingus as well.

Before the sex comes the sex-conversation. A conversation many people never have before getting together. It is your right and responsibility to ask a potential sex partner what their history of sexually transmitted infections is, and use your best lie-detecting skills when listening. You must volunteer the same information yourself. Please do understand that most people have never had a real herpes test in their life. Regular STD testing panels do not test for herpes or genital warts. Swabbing is an unreliable way of testing for herpes. So unless your potential sex partner has had a recent type-specific serum blood test for herpes like the western-blot test, they have no way of knowing if they have herpes or not and so then neither do you.

Unless someone has had a recent herpes test, I recommend that you assume that they have herpes and use a condom/dental dam combined with an anti-viral prophylactic gel. Government statistics show that anyone who has had more than 2 sex partners has a 20% chance of having herpes. More than four sex partners gives you a 40% chance of having herpes and more than 6 sex partners gives you a 60% chance of having herpes. And of course herpes is only one of many sexually transmitted infections a person could have.

I invite you to read my articles called "I have Herpes, Don't You" and "The Demonization of Genital Herpes".

If anyone is elusive or sketchy about wanting to discuss their sexual health it's best to assume that they have something they are trying to hide. I don't mean to sound harsh or cynical- I'm an idealist by nature, but I have listened to too many of my patients grieving over the fact that they were deceived by the person who infected them with herpes. You lose nothing by being careful and looking out for your own best interests.

In both the swinger and BDSM communities people are reluctant to admit to casual sex partners that the have herpes for fear of "ruining the party" or being excluded. It is rarely discussed at sex clubs, at orgies, or "play parties". People are having sex with others without warning them that they have herpes. Out of fairness I must state that some people in these communities do advise potential sex partners that they have herpes-but they are in the minority. I have seen very few leaders in these communities publically discuss herpes awareness. Again I find it very vexing and disappointing that even the most sexually adventurous people in our society are afraid to talk about herpes or are too complacent about it.

I know it's a bummer but this is the reality of love and sex in a time of herpes. Love and love abundantly, but please be careful out there.
