Elliott alleges that after testing positive for Herpes Simplex 2, she confronted the Atlanta Falcons star, 24, about her condition. "I've got something to tell you. I've got it," Vick admitted to her, according to Elliott's State Court complaint, which alleges that Vick then told her that "he had not known how to tell her about his condition, and that it was not something that he liked to talk about."

hearing a doctor say "you have tested positive for herpes" would be one of the most spirit crushing moments ever.

I read in wired that 9/10 have Simplex 1.

Herpes 2 = oral herpes. It's basically cold sores. Not that rare to have it (research has shown though that it can spread and become genital herpes, herpes simplex 1, through oral sex, though.)

Lisa Edelstein's dad touched my private parts. True fact.
Ah, I'm confusing simplex numbers. Got it! Thanks. :)

Shit, I didn't realize it can spread to become simplex 1. That scares me. eww.

wrong

herpes simplex 1 = oral herpes 9 in 10 people have

herpes simplex 2 = genital herpes 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 people have it

"In the United States, approximately 1 out of 5 adults (21-23%) is serologically positive for HSV-2. More than one half of individuals who are seropositive do not experience clinically apparent outbreaks, but these individuals still have episodes of viral shedding and transmit the virus."

I think that 9 out of 10 people have it thing is because pretty much everyone has the thing in them but it doesn't trigger in some right? I've had about 4 coldsores in my life (on my lip, not cock) usually after sunburn or something, haven't had 1 for the past 6-7 years though. Weird.

He should have settled this if it was possible. Now every chick he's tagged will be trying to claim he infected them with something so they can get some cash :lol

If you've ever had a cold sore you have Herpes 1. It will never go away, they lay dormant in the back of your brain and occasionally come out and cause cold sores. In some people they'll act more frequently and in some not at all. Herpes 2 works in the same way the virus just hangs out in the nervous system dormant some people could have outbreaks often and some could have years between outbreaks.

In general

From the CDC

"Results of a nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection. Between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, the number of Americans with genital herpes infection increased 30 percent."

To the skeptics, alot of people have herpes and don't know it. Simplex 1 rarely shows itself with any symptoms.

I've heard of people that are in long term relationships that just stop trying to avoid transmission of herpes.


Better than any engagement ring, I'd say.

VICK STORY GETS NO PLAY



Amazingly, the fact that Falcons quarterback Michael Vick a/k/a Ron Mexico a/k/a Ron Herpico has been sued for giving a Georgia woman a version of "The Michael Vick Experience" that left her with Herpes Simplex 2 has gotten zero play in the print and/or Internet media.



ESPN.com? Silent.



The Atlanta Journal-Constitution? Nothing.



The New York Times? Zip.



The Washington Post? Nada.



USA Today? Bubkis.



FOXSports.com? Nope.



SI.com? Huh-uh.



CBSSportsline.com? Air.



So what the hell gives? Has the NFL twisted some arms to keep the image of the future of the league from taking a hit?



Or is the subject matter simply not palatable to the powers-that-be at the various media outlets?



It's hard to imagine a report on a lawsuit involving Vick's di . . . di . . . dilemma being beyond the bounds of propriety, given that we've been bombarded over the past few months about Jacko's allegedly wacko-ing. And then there was the whole Lewinsky thing from seven years ago, which at times made The Podunk News read like The Penthouse Forum.



The Vick story clearly is newsworthy, especially in an era where some NFL players are spending almost as much time in the court room as in the weight room. The notion that Vick allegedly knew he had an incurable STD that apparently can create serious conception and child birth problems for women, but nevertheless had unprotected contact with a female acquaintance is shocking to us.



It's no different, in our opinion, than a guy driving drunk or roughing up his wife. In any case, it's selfish, reckless behavior, in which guys who get paid to run, throw, catch, and/or hit for a living typically seem to be inclined to engage.



So we hope that this one doesn't get swept under the rug. If nothing else, shining a light on the Vick lawsuit might persuade other pro athletes who have similar conditions to ignore their short-term desires -- and to respect the long-term interests of their partners.

Vick = teflon. Jose Lima's herpes story went mainstream just a few months ago :lol

I blame these alarming (I guess) statistics on oral sex. I'm not knocking it or anything, but you gotta admit, a lot of people (especially teens) are out of control when it comes to that.
