Yes, it's true, i've had them since I was like three or four, but i'm asking: Can my future husband obtain it? And kids? Since it's been passed down from my grandparents, to parents, and then to me.
And also, can't you only spread it during an outbreak? Thanks..:] I just obtain cold sores on my mouth. |

Umm... where do you have herpes?
Were you infected in your mouth or genitals? Ok.. so it's actually average for parents to pass herpes to their children. Most of the population has it. Actually, having oral cold sores can aid you develope antibodies and prevent genital infection later. Yes, you could pass it to your husband, with or without and outbreak, but cances are that he already has it and is asymptomatic. A very healthy immune system may prevent any symptoms from ever showing. |

Yes and no!
Herpes will stay with you for your ENTIRE life, now if you're careful with bodily fluids you could increase the chances of not passing it down. However, the chances are like 80/20 that you will pass it onto your offspring. The more cautious you are, the better the odds! Good luck, I wish you the best "odds"! |

Hi Meghann
Here are some thoughts to heal the issue and information. Herpes refers to a class of viral infections of both a sexual and nonsexual nature. There are actually over 70 dissimilar types of herpes, all of which are caused by one or more herpes viruses. Overall, herpes viruses are very average in the population at large. In fact, some health experts estimate that 90 percent of all Americans are infected by one or more strains of herpes virus. Herpes viruses, once they gain a foothold in the body, can remain dormant for years before symptoms manifest, usually after being triggered by stress to the immune system. In addition, symptoms can come and go, and even when symptoms are no longer noticeable, it does not necessarily mean that the viruses have been eradicated. Types of Herpes Although there are more than 70 known herpes viruses, the two the bulk common types of herpes are herpes simplex 1 (HSV1) and herpes simplex 2 (HSV2), or genital herpes. Herpes simplex 2 is a sexually transmitted disease, or STD, while herpes simplex 1 is often present in the body simply due to a weakened immune system, not as a result of sexual contact. Both types are very widespread among the population of the United States. Cause Herpes is caused by one of more than 70 infectious herpes viruses. Outbreaks caused by herpes are the bulk often triggered by physical or emotional stress that suppresses immune function. Nutritional insufficiencies can also increase the risk of contracting herpes. Quick Action Plan for Herpes 1. Emphasize fresh, organic foods, with a good deal of non citrus fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, free-range, organic meats and poultry, wild-caught fish, and an abundance of pure filtered water. 2. Avoid all commercial, processed, and nonorganic food, as well as alcohol, coffee, sugars, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food dyes, milk and dairy products, and wheat and wheat products. 3. Avoid all arginine-rich foods, including all nuts, sunflower and sesame seeds, coconut, chocolate, wheat and wheat byproducts, soy, lentils, oats, corn, rice, barley, tomatoes, and squash. 4. Be screened for food allergies. 5. Supplement with vitamin A, B-complex, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin C, zinc, adrenal glandular extract, quercitin, and the amino acid lysine. 6. Drink a good deal of organic, fresh-squeezed carrot, celery and beet juice. 7. Apply salves of aloe vera gel or calendula cream. Hot baths if you could tolerate them, followed with a short cold bath or sitz bath. Do this daily. 8. A helpful herbal remedy for herpes is to combine tinctures of Echinacea, goldenseal, nettle and Siberian ginseng in equal measures. Take half a teaspoon three periods a day to bolster immune function. 9 Take precautions when you're in an outbreak to avoid spreading the virus to others. To ensure you're following the the bulk effective treatment plan, work with a entitled holistic health professional. Prevention Guidelines As with all sexually transmitted diseases, the the bulk effective response to chlamydia is prevention. To avoid herpes, do the following: Be careful about choosing a sex partner and find out about his or her health and sexual history before engaging in a sexual relationship. Have sex only if the person has no apparent signs of infection and is willing to assure your protection during sexual intimacy. Be ready to talk and inquire about past experiences. Be direct and persistent. Make conversations about health a natural part of the sexual relationship. Limit the number of people you have sex with. The risk of contracting an STD rises exponentially in direct relation to how a lot sexual partners you have. Avoid sex altogether if your partner exhibits open lesions or swelling on his or her body. Always practice harmless sex. Men should always use a latex condom, especially when engaging in sex with someone new. As an alternative, women can consider the use of a latex female condom. When engaging in oral sex, use a latex dental dam. Long-term, monogamous sexual partners should also use some form of protective contraceptive unless planning a pregnancy. Avoid ingesting semen, as it acts as an immune suppressant and thus can increase the risk of STDs caused by infectious microorgamisms. Avoid anal sex, especially without protection. Urinate after you have sexual intercourse in order to aid clean the urethra and prevent infection. This applies to both men and women. Have an annual checkup to be screened for STDs that you may not know you have. If you know that you have a sexually transmitted disease, be responsible. Inform your partner and insist that he or she be examined and treated as well. Follow the treatment method that your physician prescribes as completely as possible, and always use protection whenever you partake in sex. Best of health you |

You can pass herpres at any time. Even without any signs of an outbreak.. But your future husband may obtain it, and you kids may too. If it's a hereditary gene, your children have a 50 50 chance of getting it.

To the other poster, herpes is not hereditary! It is transmitted after birth thorugh skin to skin contact!
I take it you have oral herpes (cold sores/fever blisters). You will have caught it from having your parents kiss you as a baby or minute child. My boyfriend caught it from his aunt when he was five, just from a quick kiss on the lips. People didn't used to realise how infectious cold sores are, and kissed children when they had an outbreak - nearly 100% of the population used to be infected, now it's more like 80% - 60% among young people and 95%+ by age 50. If your future husband is one of the 80% that suffers from cold sores like you, no he can't obtain it, you can't catch it twice in the same location. If you have children it will be wise to avoid kissing them when you have an outbreak - there is a minute risk when you do not have an outbreak that you could transmit it though. Sometimes you could have the virus present on your skin with no symptoms - it's known as asymptomatic shedding of the virus and happens to all people infected with herpes for a percentage of the time. Be concious that if your future partners do not obtain cold sores themselves and you give them oral sex, they can obtain gential herpes via this. It is actually a average way now to obtain genital herpes and is how I caught it. I had been with my boyfriend for seven years, he got cold sores but we cosidered they were only infectious when one was visible. He gave me oral sex occaisonally, just avoiding outbreaks, but one time he gave me oral sex when he had no symptoms whatsoever and a few days later I developed symptoms of genital herpes. It is more often spread when you don't have symptoms than when you do, because you could avoid contact when you have symptoms. Neither of my parents had oral herpes, so neither I nor my sister got cold sores growing up. Strangely enough, we both caught the oral herpes hsv-1 virus genitally in our twenties because we didn't have an oral infection to give us protection against this happening. Have to say I would rather have caught it orally as a child - there is so much less stigma related with it even though it's no dissimilar in terms of symptoms. |
