Four Most Common Herpes Tests

First: Inspection
• Any doctor can inspect the genitals of a person to diagnose genital herpes, this the most common diagnosis method.
• This procedure is most effective if there is any evidence of recent outbreaks.

Second: Sample from sore
• The doctor will take a sample from the sore or outbreak region.

Third: Test the Cervix, in women, and the Urethra, in men.
• The doctor, with your permission, could go inside genital region to look for ulcers.
• They do this kind of herpes diagnosis in both males and females.
• The cervix is the primary spot the doctor aims for in women.
• For men the doctor must get a sample or visual of the urethra, which can be uncomfortable

Fourth: Blood Test
• Taking a herpes blood test determines and detects present HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections.
• The results of blood tests are by no means black and white! They are often very difficult to read, because there are so many factors that effect human blood. With the blood altered slightly, whatever the reason it makes diagnosis very difficult at times.

User reviews: Great I may as well have AIDS for Christ sakes. I’ve asked two doctors, on different times about herpes. They were reluctant to pass information to me, and even more reluctant to test me without a sore.I think this is BS, and your video is propaganda.

---

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 45 million people aged from 12 and up in the USA have been infected with genital herpes virus. That equals one out of five adolescents and adults.

---

More Herpes Facts

- National trend data on the seroprevalence of HSV-2 among those aged 14 to 49 years from the NHANES survey years 1999-2004 were compared with survey years 1988-1994.

- Seroprevelance has decreased from 21% in 1988-1994 to 17.0% in 1999-2004.

- After including data on African Americans and caucasians from NHANES survey, years 1976-1980, African Americans had higher seroprevalence than caucasians for each survey period and age group.
In 1999-2004, the overall percentage of survey participants who reported having been diagnosed with genital herpes was 3.8%.7

- In between the latter part of the 1970s and the early 1990s, the number of Americans that became infected increased by 30%. This percentage has significantly declined from the 90’s through 2004.

Herpes Simplex Type 1 Symptoms and Statistics HSV-1

---

Herpes Symptoms and Statistics

- There are two different types of the herpes virus. HSV-1, or Herpes Simplex Virus type 1, is the type of Herpes that usually causes facial herpes or cold sores on the lips. An affected person with an HSV-1 affected area will create small blisters or sores on either the face, mouth (cold sores or fever blisters) or genitals.

- Genital contraction of HSV-1 is rare, but still tends to happen. Typically, the first outbreak is the most severe and can take up to a month dry up and scab over. The major reason for Herpes being so destructive is that between 10% and 30% of carriers are asymptomatic. Asymptomatic is referred to as the lack of signs of the disease even though one is infected. They may still spread herpes during the shedding of the skin. Herpes can become fatal in newborns and people who have acquired HIV.

---

Herpes Symptoms and HSV1 Symptoms

- Many carriers HSV-1 are asymptomatic or show no symptoms of infection.

- Asymptomatic shedding, also known as the time period in which the infected area of the skin sheds, may occur in 2-9% of adults and 5-8% of children.

- Sunlight, fever, local skin trauma, stress, and menstruation are the cardinal factors in resulting outbreaks.

- By 50 years of age, 80%-90% of us harbor HSV-1, because we have caught it from someone close to us.

---

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that just under 90 percent of the U.S. population has been exposed to the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), and over 25 percent of the population ages 25 to 45 have been exposed to herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) disease.
