Question:
OK, I just learned friday that my girlfriend has herpies on the mouth (not sure which type exactly). I've been kissing her etc. for 3 weeks!

I'm totally pissed that she didn't mention she had herpies. And when I learned she had it at the doctors office, she said that you can't get it becuaes its not ACTIVE. Which is a total lie. She knew she had it and has acquired the virus a few years ago in the past.

Now I just have to sit around and wait to see if I had acquired the virus.

1) My questions are, what are the odds if the virus wasn't active that I acquired the virus? We didn't have oral sex, not a lot of kissing but a decent amount.

2) Should I do anything now in anticipation of maybe catching the virus?

3) When can I get tested to see if I acquired the virus? LIke how soon

4) And what tests should I get?

5) What are the odds my girlfriend passed the virus to her genital area?
We had unprotected sex 4 times..

THanks for anyone who can help.

Answer:
Dude 85 percent of the population has cold sores (oral herpes). If you drop a girl because of that then you are going to be alone for the rest of your life. You must be like 12 or something

Answer:
That's kind of a harsh response as far as you know the guy could be a teenager! Plus anyone can drop anyone at anytime, for such a reason as lying, and this girl lied to him directly. If someone lied to me about his age I would consider not dating him again, it's common sense.

So since he knew she lied, and doesn't want to date her, what's wrong with that? And if someone told me ahead of time what an outbreak was like I'd think twice and that's human.

Telling someone, most people have it isn't true,
My last two boyfriends tested negative, and they are in their 40's,
Anyway it's a good idea to drop anyone for lying, especially if it pisses you off.

Answer:
HERPES!!!!! My gawd! The mere mention of the word is like waving a flag at a bull, huh?? Why in hades have we suddenly assigned LEPER status to anyone who has a common, very common, most COMMON virus???? I don't remember ANYBODY in my family or among my friends of many years who ever said to me, "Oh, please don't give me a little kiss. I have HERPES sometimes!!" Yet, 60% of us have this - usually from childhood when Mommy or Daddy kisses you nite nite. Do you think these parents wanted to brand you with a big red "X"?? Doubtful. By the time you are in your fifties, 80-90% of have it! Oh, the kissing people....we're going to have to launch a crusade against these buggers, huh? How DARE they infect us with the bane of mankind- H_E_R_P_E_SSSSSSSS. Egad!

25% of us have GENITAL H_E_R_P_E_SSSSSS!!! Double Damn! That means these folks have had SEX (of some kind, huh?). What is the world coming to - people having sex and all that other VULGAR stuff. Worse than that, 90% of 'em don't know they have it!!! Hey, sugar....how bout a little kiss. Watch out. YOUR penis might blister if you get any closer. Why don't we all just stay home and meditate? Because when you walk out the door looking for somebody to DATE, KISS, MAKE LUV TO, and (((((marry)))))), you have a 1 in 4 chance of getting H_E_R_P_E_SSSSS.

OK, I quit. But in case you think I'm promiscuous, nope. Got HSV-2 after twenty years of faithful marriage (on my end) from meandering spouse. I just don't give a rat's a$$ about the ugly stigma associated with a fairly harmless little virus. And, I'm one of the 10% who gets the painful outbreaks.
