Should I Seek Herpes Testing?

Chances are, you've asked yourself this question at least once in your life. Whether its advice from a friend of a friend, troubling developments in your privates, or a new intimate relationship, something always comes up that makes you wonder whether you should seek herpes testing. The answer, predictably, is yes, but it's more than a simple black and white situation. Different factors can affect each individual's situation. Misinformation abounds, especially online; one of the major factors in the spread of the herpes epidemic has been general apathy combined with ineffective or misleading propaganda about the disease. Let's put those fears and doubts to rest with a reasonable, unbiased look at herpes and its testing options. To be precise, we'll be looking at Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2—commonly referred to as “genital herpes”—and its symptoms, implications, and prevalence.


What's Going On Down There?

Everybody is different; we all develop strange bumps or rashes from time to time. Because sexually transmitted diseases are so widespread, we understandably get very worried when these show up on or near our genitals. On the one hand, they could be any number of non-sexual consequences of our environment: anything from sunburn to insect bites to irritating clothing to allergies could conceivably lead to bumps or lesions similar in appearance to genital herpes' trademark skin blisters. How is the layperson to distinguish between symptoms and non-symptoms?

Well, actually, they aren't- and this is a key reason to schedule routine herpes testing with a qualified professional. The thing is, sexually active adults are at risk for acquiring herpes even if they're extremely careful, and you shouldn't trust yourself to diagnose a notoriously tricky disease. In fact, many genital herpes carriers have minimal or no symptoms during their entire infection. It can be easy to dismiss a mild outbreak if the symptoms gradually disappear. However, this does not mean the infection has also disappeared; on the contrary, carriers with no symptoms are often the worst culprits when it comes to surreptitiously spreading herpes. Realize that in such a confusing world, you and your partner/s owe it to yourselves to learn the facts about your personal sexual health. It doesn't mean a moratorium on sexual relations, either. Proper preparation and an accurate sexual history go hand-in-hand with testing as crucial elements of modern health practices. If unusual bumps or blisters show up around your privates, that's a definite reason to schedule testing right away.


New Developments

Have things been going well with a new significant other? Ready to take the next step and initiate a sexual relationship? First of all: good for you! The right thing to do is be smart about it—now is the perfect time for both of you to get tested (assuming, of course, that they haven't already shown you their results). Remember, genital herpes can show up even if they've practiced safe sex all their lives. Condoms aren't 100% reliable, and they may have been intimate with an asymptomatic former partner. You really can never know in these cases. It's best to be completely honest with one another and clarify the issue for good.

Unfortunately, the other side of the coin can also raise concerns. Let's say you've just broken things off with a former lover. Were they dishonest? Did they (hypothetically, now) ever cheat? If you have any reason at all to question the sexual integrity of your former relationships, herpes testing is in order. It need not have been a vindictive or even a deliberate act, but skin-to-skin contact with a carrier, especially sexual, can be enough to transmit the infection. Get tested and thank your lucky stars if you walk out with a clean bill of health.

  1. My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house. Dr. Itua can also cure the following diseases ...

  2. I'm Rachel and I own a herbal Therapy Center. What I am about to share with you is based on actual fact and I am not a socially irresponsible person. I am a woman of character and I believed that we have only one purpose for existing and that is to help our fellow humans. And everyday millions of other people are joining me and waking up to the understanding that love is the only thing that matters in this life.

    For the past 10+ years I have dealt with a lot of people who have come to me asking if herbal remedies will get rid of herpes, usually genital. I always tell people from what I have observed and heard about NATURAL REMEDY and I suggest that they try it for themselves. I have never told anyone that herbal remedy would cure their herpes.

    I have never told anyone this because I have never had any physical proof to back that up... until this day.

    I have always told anyone who would listen the mystical work herbal remedy do for me when ever I'm in depression, I could say that because if it did that for me, it would do the same for anyone else.

    I have also always told people how herbal remedies got my doctor to successfully cured DIABETES, INFERTILITY, CANCERS, PARALYSIS, STDS & INFECTIONS.

    And I tell anyone about how herbal remedy got me off the Lysinopril I was taking for my high blood pressure That also normalized within 2months. And I am thankful it did because Lysinopril has since been recalled for turning the livers of hundreds of thousands of people into mush!

    And with all the good things herbal remedy has done for my body, I still resisted the urge to tell anyone suffering with herpes that herbal remedy would cure them... but now I am here to tell you differently because I finally came in contact with Dr Utu an African Traditional Herbal Practitioner.

    Few days ago I received an email from a young lady and she told me that her doctor has told her that her body is 100% free of any HSV virus. That her herpes has been cured! I could feel her bouncing off the walls through her email... and my heart was just as happy for her.

    I have asked her to please post a comment on my YouTube Channel.

    I don't know how long she had been infected before she purchased Dr Utu African Traditional Herbal Cure and I do not know anything about the severity of her outbreaks. All I know was that she promised me that she was following the guidelines that Dr Utu gave her to the letter.

    I know there are a lot of people who will think this is too good to be true... but I have always believed that herbal remedy was a viable cure for herpes - but without any proof I felt it would be seriously irresponsible to tell anyone that it would.

    Please feel free to leave a comment to me but please no negative ones. My company is my life and I have spent over 10 years nurturing a good reputation for myself and my business. I am putting everything on the line here, so please bear with me until we know more.

    Why am I risking so much? Why don't I just wait for her? - Are you serious? This is the BIGGEST health breakthrough in my entire lifetime! I'm over 60 and there have been NO CURES for anything since the day I was born! The big pharmaceutical companies all know there is no money in a cure. The money is in teaching you and me to 'live with' and 'manage' deadly, body-wasting and disgusting diseases for our entire lives.

    Imagine the joy all over the world when her story breaks! I invite you all to share in that joy with her and with me.

    You can also contact Dr Utu for yourself via e-mail; (d r u t u h e r b a l c u r e @ g m a i l . c o m)

  5. Powerful Herbal treatment is 100% guarantee for HSV cure, the reason why most people are finding it difficult to cure HSV 1 or 2 is because they believe on medical report, drugs and medical treatments which is not helpful to cure HSV and hasn't proved any sign of helping. Natural roots/herbs are the best remedy which can easily eradicate herpes forever. I never believed it until I was helped and cured of my 16 months genital herpes with natural herbal medicines from Dr OGU Patrick. Where other medical prescribed drugs and treatments failed, Natural herbs helped saved me from Genital herpes permanently and i am so grateful for this. You can also get help from this great and powerful herbs can also contact Dr OGU Patrick through via this email: drogugusolutionhome@gmail.com , Text or call him via : +1 719 629 0982
