<description>&lt;p&gt;Oh, please.  Herpes is everywhere. For that matter, that little old cold sore? That&apos;s herpes! And more often than not, these days, it&apos;s genital herpes that you caught from oral sex.

Actors are required to take Valtrex during shoots if they&apos;re prone to cold sores. It is so run of the mill, boring.  Americans are big babies about it.

Big whoop. If you&apos;ve kissed or bonked more than 3 people in your life, chances are you&apos;ve been exposed to or caught one kind of herpes or another.

Sound like he caught it, felt ashamed to tell his wife, so he accused her to beat her to it.
Silly man.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;People are kind of stupid and uninformed.  HSV2 can be dormant in the body for years before it presents, or for your entire lifetime.  Some ridiculously high percent of the adult population has antibodies for it.  He could have gotten this from a fling 50 years ago and not known about it until now.  Even if she did have antibodies, it doesn&apos;t mean that she gave it to him.  Unprotected F to M transmission rate is only on the order of 4% a year.  The reverse is much higher.

And HSV1 causes up to a third of all GH cases, and can be dormant forever as well, and some 80-90% of adults have antibodies to that one too.  Just take your Valtrex and quit embarassing yourself and creating frivolous lawsuits.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
