| 1 | Girl who unfortunately ended up getting herpes. Is there hope for me?As she got it from oral sex she most likely got HSV-1 which about half of 20 year olds have and more than 60% of 30 year olds have. The only difference between having it genitally compared to orally is that you are less contagious and less likely to get another blister after the first infection. I.e. a person with oral HSV-1 is more of a risk when it comes to infecting others than someone with genital HSV-1 The stats for HSV-2 looks more like you quoted. For women it's around 1/5 for 20 year old… | /r/askTRP | 28/07/15 07:16 AM |
| 1 | Ex gave me HSV2, what would you do?I've done quite a bit of research regarding the prevalence of herpes in USA and I thought I would chime in to give your stats some more credibility. While an average of 80% for Americans (I assume you mean from birth until death, instead of the usual CDC 14-49 age range number) might be a bit on the high side, it's certainly not an unreasonable number for the lifetime risk of getting either HSV-1 or HSV-2. For Non-hispanic white (the ethic group with the lowest herpes prevalence) in their 40's t… | /r/askTRP | 13/07/15 05:13 AM |
| 2 | You need to surround yourself with people of your own backgroundI didn't, I analyse the NHANES lab data directly so I take that Into account. Hsv-2 prevalence is around 20% and HSV-1 is around 60% amongst whites in their 40's | /r/TheRedPill | 09/07/15 01:28 AM |

| 2 | You need to surround yourself with people of your own backgroundYou got oral hsv-1, something that 40-75% of kids your age have. By 40 60-90% have it. Then you got hev-2 as well so the overall herpes prevalence by 40 is somewhere in the range of 70-95%. I think you'll survive. | /r/TheRedPill | 08/07/15 11:07 PM |

| 9 | Spun Plates. Got Herpes.This is the most well known one I had at hand, give me until after work if you need the underlying scientific paper. http://herpesopportunity.com/downloads/herpes-opportunity-disclosure-handout.pdf Edit: CDC is probably reputable enough:http://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/stdfact-herpes-detailed.htm?mobile=nocontent | /r/TheRedPill | 08/07/15 06:56 AM |
| 14 | Spun Plates. Got Herpes.Herpes is just that common, also women's anatomy is twice as susceptible as men. That's why men's prevalence is about half that of women's. HSV-2 prevalence amongst 40 year old white men is 22% in America. Edit: that's unmarried men, overall for men in their 40's it's 16%. I got this thread mixed up with the other one about unmarried women. | /r/TheRedPill | 08/07/15 06:32 AM |
| 36 | Spun Plates. Got Herpes.The 70% is in the unmarried non-hispanic black group. For non-hispanic white the percentage indicated by the survey for unmarried women in their 40's is 40%. Source: I analyze CDC's NHANES Herpes lab results as a hobby. Edit: for completeness sake the Mexican american ethic group it was 34% but their prevalence of HSV-1 was 90% which is higher than both the white and black ethnic groups. | /r/TheRedPill | 08/07/15 06:13 AM |
| 60 | Spun Plates. Got Herpes.Just to add to your HSV-2 stats, women are twice as likely to carry HSV-2 than men so the statistics are more like 1 in 5 for women and 1 in 8 for men. Also as it's a lifelong infection the 1 in 5 is reached around late 20's/early 30's, 1 in 4 by mid/late 30's and 1 in 3 for people in their 40's. Also higher in the unmarried population than the general population. So many people seems to think that genital herpes is uncommon its not funny. | /r/TheRedPill | 08/07/15 03:53 AM |
| 1 | Don't forget that it's not a numbers game. It's about qualityI've read about multiple strains and that people have been shown to carry and shed multiple strains. I haven't read anywhere (though I wouldn't be too surprised if it was true) about picking up additional strains after you got one of them. It could be that those with multiple strains picked them up all at once or got them in quick succession after getting infected the first time. If having one strain it would be good to know how much protection (if any) it gives against other strains. Also the c… | /r/TheRedPill | 08/07/15 02:14 AM |
| 1 | The night before lunch with a new plate, herpes rears it's ugly head! What to do?90% is only reached by the Hispanic/Mexican ethic group in their 40's. Other ethnic groups prevalence ranges from 50%-55% overall with around 60%-75% in their 40's. (All data taken from the 14-49 age range, overall prevalence across the entire population is most likely higher but not reported on by the CDC) | /r/askTRP | 07/07/15 01:34 AM |
| 1 | Do all RP men have herpes?Actually don't get tested, it's a burden to the medical system to test for something so insignificant that statistically speaking will be positive anyway. Besides if you have it there's nothing you can do about it. The above is not necessarily my view but I have skimmed through journals discussing how unnecessary herpes testing is putting a strain on certain medical systems. The UK public system seems to have this view, there was a guy a few weeks back that wanted to get tested for HSV-2 and the… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/06/15 01:25 AM |
| 2 | Herpes and SMVIt's often quoted 16% for the entire age range of 14-49 that have hsv-2, the other virus hsv-1 more commonly associated with oral herpes aka cold sores but also is cause genital herpes is often quoted as 54% between 14-49. These numbers are based on the CDC's NHANES surveys. The raw data is available and you can pull out your own statistics from that if you want. I did the following query for fun: Women between 30-39, not married, ethic group non Hispanic white (I assume this is the majority gro… | /r/TheRedPill | 04/06/15 03:37 AM |

If you will excuse me, I need to take a quick nap now before my Australian posting shift starts. | /r/TheRedPill | 09/05/15 11:15 PM |

| 1 | STD's. Thoughts?Thanks for pulling out those details. Since OP is apparently interested in women I also pulled out the female specific results: NHANES 1999-2004 compared to NHANES 1988-1994 HSV-1 14-19 41.40% down from 48.1% 20-29 57.10% down from 61.7% 30-39 63.70% down from 69.9% 40-49 67.50% down from 73% HSV-2 14-19 2.30% down from 5.9% 20-29 15.60% down from 22.3% 30-39 29.50% down from 31.2% 40-49 33.90% up from 32.6% | /r/seduction | 20/04/15 10:27 AM |
| 1 | STD's. Thoughts?I do see what you're coming from and it's shared by many but as you might have guessed not by me. I do realise that when most people say "herpes" they mean genital hsv-2 possibly also genital hsv-1 I apologise if I came off a bit harsh, I'm just a bit tired of this oral/genital divide. Even though I've got the "common" oral kind, I'm well aware that I can transfer that to someone's genitalia and then all of a sudden it's the "bad" herpes. In actually take comfort in knowing that at my age almost… | /r/seduction | 20/04/15 12:21 AM |
| 1 | STD's. Thoughts?Herpes is herpes caused by either hsv-1 or 2. It generally stays at the initial infection site, that being face, genitalia or other body part. So if you plan on kissing and having sex with your partner you're exposed to the full range of herpes. Kiss a women with oral herpes, you risk oral herpes. Perform oral sex on a woman with genital herpes, you risk oral herpes. Receive oral sex from a woman with oral herpes, you risk genital herpes Have piv with a woman with genital herpes, you risk genita… | /r/seduction | 19/04/15 11:25 PM |

| 1 | STD's. Thoughts?Because more people have herpes than don't? | /r/seduction | 19/04/15 10:35 PM |
| 1 | STD's. Thoughts?Depends on multiple factors. Do you see her as a fling or something that could go further. Your age also plays a certain part, the older you get the more of your peers have herpes. By 20 it's estimated to be almost half, by 40 you're looking at 70-80% so you're more likely than not to get it at some time in your life. Since 80% of those with hsv don't know they do and if you haven't specifically gotten tested for hsv (its not a part of a standard std test because it's too common) you might alrea… | /r/seduction | 19/04/15 06:04 AM |
