i dont but i know someone that does and it messed with his sex life until he started taking valtrex once daily. he says he hardly ever has a break out now.  but b4 he was brave enough to go see a dr. about it he had break outs like once a month or more!  it's something hard to talk about so some people just try to go without treatment but it's really best if you get it taken care of.  dr. see that stuff all the time and it's no big deal to them.  And herpes is actually the most common std.  1 in 3 people have it!!!  I think its most common because you can even get herpes from oral sex if someone has a cold sore

For the most part people are usually pretty accepting about it. I told my boyfriend at the time (now fiance) that I have genital herpes and he was completely understanding about it. Of course he wanted to know if he could get it and how, and how it is treated, etc. So after some long talks he has come to accept it and the fact that someday  he might get it.\n\nI've never had a bad experience when telling someone I was dating that I have genital herpes. They usually just ask a lot of questions. It might be different though for a deadly STD like HIV/AIDS, since I don't have HIV/AIDS, I'm not sure how someone would react if their partner told them they have it.

Just because you have one strain of the herpes virus doesn't mean you can't get another strain of the virus. You're best bet is to be safe and use protection.

I agree with pjchik. Getting an std that can be treated and cured vs. losing a leg... I'd pick the std, unless it's the HIV virus. In that case, I'd lose the leg and keep my life, and not be infectious.

I'm not a doctor, but I don't think so. Strep is bacterial and herpes is a virus - completely unrelated.

No!!! Some people carry STDs for many years without knowing it. This is why it is important to get tested if you have reason to suspect you have contracted an STD.

I have two friends who are both HIV positive both are gay males. One had full blown aids when I first met him and the other had just found out.This was about 4 years ago. I myself just found out 2 years ago that I am HIV. I always thought I was very careful sexually. I almost always used condoms. I suspect I got it from sharing needles(very stupid, I know)while shooting up cocaine which I'm happy to say I have not touched in a year.

Why aren't you getting tested right this second? If I were you, I would be more concerned about oral herpes, than aids.
