i could not agree more

Quote From: copperpenni

Doctors who tell people they don't need to be tested for hsv because

a. 80% of the population has herpes so testing is a mute point......yes drs do say this.....

b. you don't have any signs or symptoms so therefore you don't have herpes

c. your married or in a long term relationship.... so why do you need tested. 

My PCP said no big deal. My GYN said why test almost everyone has it, no big deal. My dermatoligist said if I have no symptoms I can't spread it. It is not only the general population that needs to be educated it's the medical profession too.  I wonder do THEY ALL have it??????? If it's no big deal why are we all suffering with the stigma?
