Herpes is the most common sexually transmitted disease. According to the U. S. health officials around 16 percent of Americans between 14 and 49 years old have genital herpes. This high percentage puts it up on the list of sexually transmitted diseases.
Women are twice as likely to have the disease as their men counterpart. Black women in this age group have the highest rate of having the disease. Nearly 1 of 2 black women have genital herpes. Overall almost 21 % of women and 11 and a half percent of men have been infected with the disease. 39 % of blacks have the herpes virus as does 12 % of the white population.
Herpes is a life sentence right now. There is no known cure for either strain of the disease. Genital herpes which affects the genital area and herpes simplex virus type two which causes recurring cold sores have no medical cures.
Genital herpes can add to the risk of being infected with the aids virus. If herpes sores are open you are more likely to get other diseases.
There are drugs on the market that treat the symptoms of herpes. These drugs will dry up the open sores and relieve pain but will not cure.
Gay marriage
My concern is that more and more sexy&good looking gay men get STD. It seems that gay men is easier to get an STD.
According to the report from the largest STD dating site == Positivefish.com ==(if I spell the site correctly), the gay subscribers
increased continually. Most of them are sexy.
Nothing will cure herpes. The most important thing you can do besides taken medication is building your immune system and allow your body to heal itself. I find that a lot of these prescription drugs break down the immune system in the long run and fill your body with chemicals. I take something that is natural and enhances the immune system. I have not had an outbreak in over 2 years.
