Saw two docs. One say I got cos' he see and said it is herps. But, another doc suggest blood test, since got 3 month lag time. Turn out, I am free of all the major STDs. According to him, blood test more accurate than visual inspection. Visual inspection may not be accurate. You still need a blood test. Culture is another way to test for herpes.
There is a lot of research being done for a vaccine/ cure for herpes. You can read the forum here.

Be hopeful, but don't take life for granted liao. At least, u r heng its not hiv. HIV medication will makan u before u die a natural death. So, dun give up, until u really going to die.
The bros here may be surprised to know that there is even a website for dating herpes partners. Can fight with MSN personals somemore.
PS: I still very paranoid after the negative results. After reading a lot on herpes, one thing quite certain is that most of us are carriers of one form of herpes or another. Chicken pox is also herpes, if u didn't know.
Most important from today onwards is that you must cherish life more than ever before. cos' life really fragile. Anything can happen anytime. If got gf/ wife, then should start to be really nice liao.
