Herpes is the most common of all STD's, it is believed that upto 50% of the population has it, and that figure doesn't include people who don't know they have it, most people who have herpes don't get any symptoms..

Re: Herpes STDs
As time goes on and more vaccines are made for these viruses do you think it will change peoples behaviours about sex?

Re: Herpes STDs
There is a foolproof way to never catch an STD. and that is to never have sex and never kiss anyone.
But if you want to fully enjoy life, that won't be an option. So just have fun and play safe.
We all take chances in life. Most of us drive a car everyday. About 1.3 million people die evey year from accidents. Will that stop you from driving? Soooooooo scary. Or you can become an agoraphobic claustrophobic. Now that would be funny.

Re: Herpes STDs
however you wouldn't see many people drive without a seat belt, its about limiting risk, just a question on sexual behaviours and what people attitude is towards it. i certainly think i would attend more sex parties etc if incurable viruses were not on my mind.

You can get herpes by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the disease.
You can also get herpes if you come into contact with the herpes virus in the saliva, genital secretions, or skin (in the oral or genital area, depending on the site of infection) of a person with herpes infection. You can get herpes from an infected sex partner who does not have a visible sore or who may not know he or she is infected. It is also possible to get genital herpes if you receive oral sex from a sex partner has oral herpes.
The virus that causes shingles, the varicella zoster virus aka chicken pox, can be spread from a person with active shingles to another person who has never had chickenpox. In such cases, the person exposed to the virus might develop chickenpox, but they would not develop shingles.
