In the latest episode of the Simply Fit Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Allie Mazur. Allie is the founder of Beyond Herpes, whose mission is to bring hope, guidance, and confidence to those suffering from a Herpes diagnosis. Herpes has been and is still an extremely taboo subject but did you know that 50-80% of the US population have oral herpes and between 1 in 6-8 people have the genital type. Think about it this way, the next time you walk into a coffee shop or even go down the aisle of a supermarket, one of the people that you see has herpes.

Episode 121: Genital Herpes.     Wendy and Grace discuss the signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of genital herpes. Written by Jaspreet Johal, MS4, Ross University School of Medicine. Edits by Grace Yi, MS2, University of California Los Angeles; and Wendy Collins, MS3, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.  December 1, 2022.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Definition & EpidemiologyGenital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by a virus called herpes simplex virus (HSV for short). There are two types of HSV. HSV type 1 commonly causes orolabial herpes (known as cold sores), and HSV type 2 typically causes genital herpes, which can present as painful blisters or ulcers in the genital regions. In recent years, an increasing number of genital herpes cases have been associated with HSV-1, especially in women. HSV infections are widespread among the global population and spread person to person through oral-to-oral contact or vaginal, anal, and oral sexual contact. Transmission can occur during periods of subclinical viral shedding, as in even when individuals are asymptomatic. In 2020, the seroprevalence of HSV-2 in the United States was approximately 13 percent among patients aged 15 to 49, with more women affected than men. Fifty to 80 percent of American adults have oral herpes (HSV-1), which causes cold sores or fever blisters in or around the mouth. HSV is a lifelong infection characterized by periodic reactivations that can be triggered by fatigue, stress, or illness, among other factors. Antiviral therapy can shorten symptom duration in primary infection and can also treat and prevent recurrences. Types of InfectionGenital HSV infection can be classified into three types: primary, nonprimary, and recurrent. Primary – Primary infection refers to an infection in a patient without preexisting antibodies to either HSV-1 or HSV-2.Nonprimary infection, a patient has a first occurrence of a genital HSV lesion but already has pre-existing HSV antibodies that are different from the HSV type related to the genital lesion.Recurrent – Recurrent infection refers to the reactivation of genital HSV (so the patient already has pre-existing antibodies in the serum)Clinical Features The incubation period for developing genital herpes after exposure ranges anywhere from 2 to 12 days.Most patients with primary HSV infection are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic. However, in more severe cases, individuals can present with painful genital ulcers, dysuria, fever, tender local inguinal lymphadenopathy, and headache. HSV infection also presents with characteristic 2-4mm wide skin lesions that are vesicular or ulcerated. The vesicles are often clustered and can be fluid-filled with underlying erythema. Sometimes vesicles might have a depression in the center (called “umbilicated” vesicles.” It's important to note, though, that the clinical presentation can vary based on the type of infection (primary, nonprimary, or recurrent). As a general rule of thumb, the initial presentation of a non-primary genital infection tends to be milder (as in, fewer systemic symptoms and lesions) than that of a primary infection. Recurrent infections also tend to be less severe than primary or nonprimary infections. Also, around 50% of patients with symptomatic recurrent infections might experience prodromal symptoms in recurrent infections, like burning, pain, or pruritus, before lesions become visible.Symptoms in patients with primary infections typically resolve after an average of 19 days, whereas symptoms in nonprimary or recurrent infections resolve within 10 days. Also, there are no clear differences in a clinical presentation based on whether the virus is caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2. However, infections due to HSV-2 are associated with a higher recurrence rate than infections due to HSV-1. Extragenital complications Genital HSV infection can cause extragenital manifestations that typically occur during the primary episode of HSV infection but can reappear with subsequent episodes. Complications include aseptic meningitis, urinary bladder retention, proctitis, and lumbosacral radiculitis. Other areas that can be affected outside of the genital area are fingers, eyes, and other skin areas.Diagnosis.A clinical diagnosis of genital herpes is usually initiated by the finding of vesicular or ulcerated genital lesions. The diagnosis can be confirmed with lab testing like viral culture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), direct fluorescence antibody, and type-specific serologic testing. The most appropriate test for a patient depends on their clinical presentation. We might opt for PCR-based testing and cell culture if a patient has active lesions. Viral culture has typically been the gold standard method to isolate HSV, but HSV PCR assays are becoming increasingly popular as they have the best overall sensitivity and specificity. Cell cultures are most accurate in the early stages of the disease and have greater diagnostic yield with primary as opposed to recurrent genital herpes. Another method, type-specific serologic testing, tells us if a patient has type-specific antibodies to HSV, which develop in the first few weeks after infection and persist indefinitely. We might opt for this method if a patient has a history of genital lesions without a diagnostic workup or if the patient has an atypical presentation, in which case we may get type-specific serologic testing in addition to PCR. Management. All individuals experiencing a first episode of genital HSV should be treated with antiviral therapy, ideally as soon as a lesion appears. Most cases of genital HSV can be treated with oral drug therapy for 7 to 10 days, and as of 2021, the CDC recommends 3 different options for treatment: acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir. These drugs have been shown to decrease the duration of lesion healing time, duration of pain, and duration of viral shedding. For example, if the disease is disseminated or ocular, we may use IV acyclovir in complicated infections. It is important to note that treating the initial episode does not eliminate the latent virus. Patients are still at risk for recurrence and may require additional antiviral therapy. For recurrent infections, treatment options include episodic therapy and chronic suppressive therapy. Episodic therapy – involves patients starting therapy at the very first sign of prodromal symptoms (tingling, paresthesia, pruritus). Patients with infrequent recurrences or mild symptoms might opt for episodic therapy. Wendy: Chronic suppressive therapy – involves daily antiviral therapy to decrease the risk of reactivation and recurrences. Suppressive therapy is helpful in patients with frequent recurrences or severe symptoms or at high risk for severe infections, such as those with HIV.ScreeningAccording to the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), routine screening for HSV-1 or HSV-2 is not recommended in asymptomatic adolescents and adults. The lack of specific treatment interventions for asymptomatic individuals, and the significant limitations of serologic testing, including low specificity and high false-positive rate, outweigh the potential benefits of screening. Prevention. Measures to prevent genital HSV infections include the use of barrier protection, patient education, and chronic suppressive therapy. Barrier protection – The use of condoms is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of genital HSV infection and other sexually transmitted diseases. It reduces the risk of transmission while patients are asymptomatic but are in the viral shedding stage. Patients with active lesions or prodromal symptoms should abstain from sexual activity completely while having an active episode. Patient Education – Counseling patients along with their sex partner(s) about safe sexual practices can decrease the incidence of HSV in our community and prevent the further spread of the disease. Chronic suppressive therapy – can reduce recurrences and viral transmission.Conclusion: Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted, worldwide infection that can be asymptomatic but often presents with painful vesicles that progress to ulcers in the genital area. Even though the course can be shortened, and the symptoms can be improved with medications, it is frequently recurrent. So, prevention is key to avoiding complications.________________________________Now we conclude episode number 121, “Genital herpes.” You listened to Grace and Wendy discuss the basics of genital herpes. They explained that episodic treatment of genital herpes with antivirals helps reduce the severity and duration of symptoms, while suppressive therapy prevents recurrences and transmission. Dr. Arreaza reminded us that screening asymptomatic adults and adolescents is not recommended by the USPSTF. HSV serology has a low sensitivity and specificity. PCR and viral culture are better diagnostic tools in most cases. And, as with all other STIs, promoting safe sex practices is key to the prevention of genital herpes.We thank Hector Arreaza, Grace Yi, Wendy Collins, and Jaspreet Johal this week.

In this episode we chat to Shelley, a mum of two from Adelaide. Shelley reached out to us shortly after having her baby because she wanted to share the unique circumstances surrounding her first birth and VBAC. Shelley lives with Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Genital, it is classified as a type of STI, and because of the stigma this carries Shelley could not find any stories from women who have navigated pregnancy and birth with this condition. It is estimated that three-quarters of Australian adults are infected with HSV1.Shelley talks about how her genital herpes affected the outcome of her first birth, and although a very empowering and positive caesarean she still held the desire to have a VBAC for next time. Unlike her first birth genital herpes didn't play a role in the outcome of her second birth, however being covid positive at the time her body went into labour certainly did. Shelley got covid twice during her VBAC pregnancy.Although her VBAC didn't go the way Shelley envisioned- there was intervention there- she felt in control the entire time due to the preparation she had done during her VBAC pregnancy. Shelley also shares how she had a positive breastfeeding journey with her second baby, which wasn't the case with her first baby.  A big thank you to our patrons for helping to bring this episode to you.

It is estimated that over 195 million Americans are living with HSV-2, or Genital Herpes. This chronic, incurable, life long sexually transmitted infection is so stigmatized despite millions of people living with this diagnosis in private due to shame and stigma. HSV2 is rarely talked about in public spaces unless it is the punchline of a joke. Kat joins Katie on this week's episode of BYNTHT to discuss living with herpes over the last 13 years. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Sexual Assault 

If your first outbreak was anything like mine you're wondering like me: how people could not know they had herpes or at least something going on down there.

Few things leave women as shaken as a genital herpes diagnosis, and it's not hard to understand why.    On top of the STI itself, the discovery of HSV2 often leads to a ton of uncomfortable questions. Where was it contracted? Could a partner have strayed? And perhaps the toughest of all: how do we tell our partners about the diagnosis?   That being said, while we should never downplay the seriousness of genital herpes, it's far from a death sentence. In fact, we can still lead great, long and healthy lives after contracting the virus - and the same goes for our sex lives.    In this episode, I'm going to walk you through a discussion of HSV2, and share some tips on how to have the tough conversations post-diagnosis.    3 Things We Learned From This Episode A rundown of the Herpes family (it's bigger than you think!) How to tell a new partner about a herpes diagnosis How to resume your sex life, POST-outbreak What to do to ease the symptoms of genital herpes and prevent spreading it

Practice Bulletins #220 - Published May 2020 1. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is transmitted directly from lesions to mucosa or open skin: this includes cold sores to mucosa, active lesions on the skin, or ulcers on or inside the genitals. 2. Infection of babies generally occurs during passage of the newborn through mom's GU tract, not in-utero. 3. Neonatal herpes infections carry relatively high mortality and morbidity. 4. Active or recurrent infections in pregnancy should be treated with antiviral therapy. Suppression therapy should be given to all women with history of HSV starting at 36 wga and continued until birth. 5. Women who have active genital HSV infections manifested as active lesions or prodromal vulvar symptoms at the onset of labor should be counseled against vaginal birth.

Life With Herpes https://youtu.be/Fk9oCzIQ_IA Welcome to today's episode. In general when we hear the word herpes, or STD or STI our heart sinks. We become paralyzed and think, no way this is happening to me. Right? We also hear the word herpes and think, what the heck is it or oh I better google that. Since launching Life With Herpes in June of 2017, I’ve heard pretty much everything when it comes to herpes. Just an FYI...nothing is TMI. So if you DM me don’t be afraid to say it and don’t hold back. I’ve heard things like… I don’t want to die from getting herpes! Eww gross the blisters are gross, will they scare? Why me, I feel like my life is over what do I do? Is the itch on my balls the herpes coming on? How did I get it, I never had sex! I’ve been with the same partner for 2 years and now it just showed up, how is this possible? If I have it down there will it show up there? Do any of these sound familiar? You betcha. I had thoughts and questions like these too, except the balls part...lol Our society has done a great job of making us feel like lepers and an even better job of not educating us so this leaves us without knowledge of how to properly take care of the herpes virus and prevent outbreaks as well as prevent transmission. So here it is. Here’s the 101 on Herpes! What is herpes? Herpes is known as the Herpes Simplex Virus or HSV1 or HSV2. HSV1 is most commonly associated with oral herpes and HSV2 is most common in the genital region. Because herpes is a virus it means you will have herpes for the rest of your life. In other words, at this point, there is no cure for herpes. Sorry! When the virus is not active it will lie dormant along your nervous system until it wakes up and decides to rise to the surface of your skin and cause an outbreak. Think of it like a volcano, some are active some are dormant and some you just really don't know when they are going to explode. What does it look like? In some people, they describe their outbreak like a papercut. And some people describe their blister as a liquid filled blister. Some outbreaks are just one blister and other outbreaks can have a cluster of blisters. The blister will take on different appearances depending on if it’s in the infancy stage of the outbreak or if it’s in the healing phase. The beginning can look like a small bump or a cluster of small bumps, then they can fill with fluid or they are open and can look like paper cuts. The final stage is the scab stage where the blister has a small scab on it. Lesions can take the form of; a red spot, a pimple, an ingrown hair, razor burn, and a bug bite. How do I know if I have herpes? The best way to determine if you have herpes is to see a medical professional and get tested.  Of the 16.2% of people who have HSV2 80% of them don’t know they have it. That number is unbelievably high and quite scary. Get tested and find out. In so many cases an outbreak goes unnoticed or misdiagnosed basically because we don’t want to admit we have it. Your test results will let you know if you have HSV1 or HSV2. What are some of the symptoms of herpes? There is a long list of herpes outbreak symptoms and for everyone, they will be different. I like to use the example of having a cold. Everyone has a little bit of different symptoms but at the end of the day, it’s a cold. Here are the herpes symptoms: Swollen lymph nodes Swollen glands in your pelvic area, throat or under your arms Exhaustion Headache Body aches Pain around your genitals Inflammation around your genitals Difficult peeing because sores can block the urethra Itching Nerve pain Will I die from herpes? No, you will not die from herpes. Herpes is just a skin disease and that is it. If I’m exposed to herpes how long before it shows up? The typical incubations time is 2-14 days. However, in some people, it can take weeks, months and years before it is noticed. Can I be herpes positive without having an outbreak? No, if you are testing positive for herpes then at some point you’ve had an outbreak. If there is a blood test administered then the test is looking for the herpes antibody. The way our bodies work is when there is a foreign object such as a virus our body goes to work with our fighter T cells to protect us and the result are antibodies. So if we have herpes antibodies then we have the herpes virus and somewhere along the way, we had an outbreak. How do you test for herpes? There are two types of tests, a swab test or a blood test. Typically if a person is showing blisters then the medical provider will swab the blister. If there are no blisters present and it’s a routine check-up there will be a blood draw to look for the herpes antibody. I went into great detail in episode 85. Are Oral Herpes and Genital Herpes different? Yes and no. They are both herpes but they are different strains. At the end of the day they both do the same thing, cause a blister. HSV1 is most common in the oral region and can also be known as oral herpes, fever blisters or cold sores. HSV2 mostly appears in the genital region and known as genital herpes. However, either type, 1 or 2, can go to any spot. What are the signs of genital herpes? Genital herpes can appear anywhere in the genital region. For both men and women it can show up; your butt, your anus, inside of your thighs or below your belly button. For men, you can get an outbreak; on your penis, on your balls, or anywhere in that area. And for women, you can get outbreaks; on your vagina, inside your vaginal canal and even up to your cervix. What are the signs of oral herpes? Oral herpes likes to show up around your mouth. Blisters can appear on the lip or just outside of the lip. Sometimes the outbreak can travel up your face but the outbreak will begin around your mouth. Is a cold sore herpes? Yes, cold sores are the same thing as herpes. If I have oral herpes can I get an outbreak genitally or visa versa? If you have HSV1 and it is orally then you will get outbreaks orally. If you have HSV2 and get outbreaks genitally then you will get outbreaks genitally. A lot of times people ask if they have oral herpes will it show up genitally and the answer is no. The only way that can happen would be if that area was infected with the virus. Wherever you have your outbreaks is where you will continue to have your outbreaks. How is herpes transmitted? Herpes is skin to skin transmission. So when an infected person comes into contact with an uninfected person they can potentially transmit the virus. This can happen with kissing and touching.  The virus likes moist wet areas so it is possible for the virus to be transmitted by another vehicle such as a lipstick or sharing utensils or drinks. Can I pass herpes without an outbreak? Unfortunately, herpes can be transmitted without an outbreak. It’s called asymptomatic shedding. Asymptomatic shedding is when the virus decides to shead and the virus pops up to the surface of the skin. There are no symptoms and the infected person has no clue this is going on. At this point, the virus can be passed and transmitted. What sexual acts can transmit herpes? Pretty much any sexual act can transmit herpes. I know...its a real bummer. So vaginal sex, oral sex, anal sex, foreplay, fondling and even masturbation can transmit herpes. How common is herpes? Herpes is so common and I can guarantee you that someone in your family has it too, they’re just not telling you. For HSV1 ⅔ or 217 million Americans have it and for HSV2 ⅙ people or 25 million Americans have it. That's a ton of people so please don’t feel alone. Of the 16.2% of people with HSV2 or genital herpes, 80% don’t even know they have it.   How do I get tested for herpes? One of the reasons why herpes is taboo and its becoming an epidemic is because a herpes test is not included in the typical STD check up. A patient specifically has to ask for a herpes test. Not knowing this has become a surprise to many of us who suddenly get test results back and were like what? How did this happen? You can go to planned parenthood or your healthcare provider and ask them for a herpes test. What are the herpes stats? ⅔ or 217 million Americans have HSV1 ⅙ or 25 million Americans have HSV2 25% of women and 20% of men have HSV2 Herpes male to non-herpes female transmission rate is 10% Herpes female to non- herpes male transmission rate is 4% Based on no sex during active outbreaks, non-use of daily antivirals, and non use of condoms Condoms reduce transmission by 30%-50% Daily antiviral suppression reduce transmission by 48% 50% of genital transmission via oral sex is HSV1   References: American Sexual Health Association (ASHA) http://www.ashasexualhealth.org/ Center of Disease Control (CDC) https://www.cdc.gov/ Planned Parenthood https://www.plannedparenthood.org/ WebMD https://www.webmd.com/ Here’s How I Can Support Join our monthly live Herpes Support Group - www.lifewithherpes.com/supportgroup Herpes Outbreak Toolkit - https://lifewithherpes.com/herpes-outbreak-toolkit Emergency Call - https://lifewithherpes.com/emergencycall/ Keep in touch with Alexandra Harbushka   www.lifewithherpes.com www.instagram.com/alexandraharbushka www.facebook.com/lifewithherpespodcast   www.pinterest.com/lifewithherpes Join The Live With Herpes Community If you are ready to join a community of people who are living with herpes also then you will want to join our slack group.

Ask, Answer And Get The Facts About Herpes Life With Herpes   Welcome to today’s episode on Life With Herpes. As always, thank you for joining me and spending your time watching/listening/and or reading.  I take some time to let you know what is going on in my life. I actually have moved to Las Vegas so if you are watching this you get to see my new kitchen. Thanks for baring with me as I figure out the acoustics, angels and the best location for recording Today I go a little off track and talk about HIV and the link between HIV and herpes. I do want you to know that I am not an expert when it comes to talking about HIV but I want to make sure you are educated on this to prevent yourself from becoming infected or from infecting a partner. What is HIV? HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus and it weakens the infected person's immune system and eventually killing them. When the HIV scare first came out it was an automatic death sentence but now has technology has progressed and we have more knowledge regarding the virus there is a treatment for this. I mean look at Magic Johnson! HIV is spread through bodily fluids such as; blood, semen, pre-seminal fluids, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. In other words, having unprotected sex with an HIV + partner can infect you with the virus. Here is the link between HIV and herpes and why I wanted to bring it to your attention. As you and I know, genital herpes can cause sores or papercuts like breaks in the skin or on mouth, vagina, and rectum. The genital sores caused by herpes can bleed easily as well as they are open areas for other viruses or bacteria to get in. When the sores come into contact with the mouth, vagina, or rectum during sex, they increase the risk of giving or getting HIV if you or your partner has HIV. So in other words having a herpes outbreak can make you more susceptible to contracting other viruses such as HIV. Make sure you use protection such as a latex condom as well has have a conversation with your partner when it comes to your sexual health.

If you had to pick which one would you pick?

Thank you and welcome. I want to invite you to join our community over on lifewithherpes.com.   Let me ask you, would you prefer to have oral herpes or genital herpes? Upon first thought I would say that having genital herpes would be the worst one. It has to do with the stigma that is attached to it. The genital herpes stigma is you are a, slut, trailer trash, you slept around, you are dirty, you are a walking disease, you are a whore, you deserved to get this, you are the scarlet letter and the disgusting stigmas are far to long for me to put in this post. Then when we think of oral herpes there is no stigma that is attached other than the painful blister on your mouth. When you have an oral outbreak people feel bad for you opposed to judging you. Most of the time people contract HSV 1 or oral herpes as kids. We get it from being kissed as a baby or as a kid by our grandparents our parents or even from sharing a juice box on the playground.  In other words, people don’t associate sex with oral herpes.   So let’s have an open discussion about oral and genital herpes. If you had to pick, which one would you prefer? Oral or Genital?It really is a good question. When I ask myself this question I decided to answer it at different times in my life. Before I was diagnosed with HSV 1 & HSV 2 I would have said neither. Then when I was diagnosed with HSV 1 orally when I was 20 years old I was relieved that it was not genital herpes. And then being diagnosed with HSV 2 I was devastated and wished it never happened. In case you have not listened to the last episodes I talk alot about my oral outbreak. I got an outbreak on my mouth for the second time ever and it was 14 years after my initial diagnosis. I was like WTF?!?!?!?   After dealing with the oral outbreak, on my wedding by the way, I realized that I would much much much rather have genital herpes than oral herpes. Mainly, nobody knows you have an outbreak. Really, it is only your business and nobody really needs to know you have an outbreak unless of course you are going to have sex. It was an interesting lesson for me to walk around with this huge outbreak and have shame and disgust meanwhile oral herpes is not associated with shame. It was really interesting.   I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Let me know, would you rather have oral herpes or genital herpes?

If you are a sexually active adult, chances are you have been exposed to the herpes virus. Many people are silent carriers of the virus and will never have symptoms. But the social stigma and fear about herpes is rampant.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. The causes of STDs are bacteria, parasites, yeast, and viruses. There are more than 20 types of STDs, including ChlamydiaGenital herpesGonorrheaHIV/AIDSHPVSyphilisTrichomoniasis Most STDs affect both men and women, but in many cases the health problems they cause can be more severe for women. If a pregnant woman has an STD, it can cause serious health problems for the baby. Antibiotics can treat STDs caused by bacteria, yeast, or parasites. There is no cure for STDs caused by a virus, but medicines can often help with the symptoms and keep the disease under control. Correct usage of latex condoms greatly reduces, but does not completely eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading STDs.

Interview with Ann E. Kurth, PhD, RN, MSN, MPH, author of Serologic Screening for Genital Herpes Infection: US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement

Editors’ Summary by Howard Bauchner, MD, Editor in Chief of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, for the December 20, 2016 issue

Host: Ana Maria Rosario Guest: David Gandell, MD Genital Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infection is a major public health problem. A dramatic upsurge in genital HSV infections have been documented from several prominent studies, making recognition, treatment, and patient counseling strategies more important than ever. Joining host, Ana Rosario at the Women's Health Annual Visit in Deerborn, MI, is Dr. David Gandell, Clinical Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Rochester and attending phsyician at Strong Memorial Hospital.

Host: Ana Maria Rosario Guest: David Gandell, MD Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted disease. However, it is also one that is commonly underrecognized and misdiagnosed. Senior reporter Ana Maria Rosario chats with Dr. David L. Gandell to discuss genital herpes, from its prevalence to presentation of symptoms, treatment options, and ongoing therapy. Of particular focus within their discussion is the importance of counseling patients through the course of diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Gandell is a Clinical Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology from the University of Rochester, Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY.

To compare the presence and quantity of cervicovaginal HIV among HIV seropositive women with clinical herpes, subclinical HSV-2 infection and without HSV-2 infection respectively; to evaluate the association between cervicovaginal HIV and HSV shedding; and identify factors associated with quantity of cervicovaginal HIV. Four groups of HIV seropositive adult female barworkers were identified and examined at three-monthly intervals between October 2000 and March 2003 in Mbeya, Tanzania: (1) 57 women at 70 clinic visits with clinical genital herpes; (2) 39 of the same women at 46 clinic visits when asymptomatic; (3) 55 HSV-2 seropositive women at 60 clinic visits who were never observed with herpetic lesions; (4) 18 HSV-2 seronegative women at 45 clinic visits. Associations of genital HIV shedding with HIV plasma viral load (PVL), herpetic lesions, HSV shedding and other factors were examined. Prevalence of detectable genital HIV RNA varied from 73% in HSV-2 seronegative women to 94% in women with herpetic lesions (geometric means 1634 vs 3339 copies/ml, p = 0.03). In paired specimens from HSV-2 positive women, genital HIV viral shedding was similar during symptomatic and asymptomatic visits. On multivariate regression, genital HIV RNA (log10 copies/mL) was closely associated with HIV PVL (β = 0.51 per log10 copies/ml increase, 95%CI:0.41-0.60, p

It seems that it is human nature to compare. It’s definitely ego-driven, in order to see if we’re adequately keeping up with the Joneses — to make sure that we’re “stacking up.” We compare others’ experiences to our own hoping to see common ground. Let's think before we compare, especially when it comes to herpes.
