The legal WLs are NOT tested for Herpes during their medical check ups.

The routine medical tests are for :

a. Gonorrhea
b. Chlamydia
c. Trichamonas
d. Yeast
e. Syphilis
f. HIV

Viral infections such as Herpes and Warts are difficult to test for in the absence of symptoms. Since they are not fatal, it is not worth the additional effort and costs.

There is NO blood test available for genital warts and if there are no obvious symptoms, it is simply not possible to tell whether or not a person is infected.

Herpes is a very common infection and it is estimated that 80% of the population is infected with herpes type 1 by the time they reach adulthood. Herpes type 1 normally infects the oral region but can also infect the genitals.

It is estimated that 25% to 30% of the adult population are infected by herpes type 2.

If all the working ladies were barred for testing positive for Herpes type 1 and 2, more than 80% of the gals would have to be sent home tomorrow.

There is an interesting article on the extent of herpes infections in a middle class urban population at http://www.news-medical.net/?id=1830

Bro Sugarspider,

No need to be depressed. It will make it your situation worse if you are depressed. Look at the bright side and be positive.

If there is comfort for you, let me tell you that 10 days ago I went to the local HDB GP and told him that there were rashes (many tiny red dots) on my dick head. He (the doc) asked me show him my dick. As I pulled up my dick to show him, the doc straight away said I got herpes. But KNN... he treat me as if I kana some kind of leprosy of what.... his first reaction was to move further apart from me & inspect my weapon from a distance ! KNNCCB !!!!

He prescribed me some anti-viral tablets and some solution to wash the dick head plus some cream to apply on it. But KNN .... after 7 days .... the rashes get worse. So, I went back to him & he insist that I got herpes even I told him I have no pain or itch whatsover.... and he prescribed the same medicine...

So bro sugarspider, it is ok to have STD. Because STD is not fatal like Aids. Just that we got to adjust our life-style and soon we will get used to it. Though there is no cure for herpes, be it Type 1 or Type 2 herpes, nevertheless it is not life threathening. Be positive. We are in the same boat !! Just read up & do research on the STD you are suferring to ensure that we are more informed about it so that we can react in the best possible manner.

Since I got herpes, I have to stop cheonging for a while. Let it subside. But the outbreak will come again. Until then, I will deal with it. But in the meantime, I just make sure this episode of outbreak is taken care of.

We are in the same boat. Good luck to both of us !! I cannot be depressed as it will only lower my immunity and affects my recovery rate. So, stay cheerful and be positive.

Take care and cheers

The only way to confirm a herpes infection is to do a viral culture.

If the rashes are painless, chances are it is NOT herpes.

I suggest you go to a specialist and request a proper diagnosis.

I agree. That's what I thought too. Bcos my condition really differs from what I read in the many links provided by bro Big Sexy. So, fed up with the unprofessional and stubbon yet useless doctor, I went to see a specialist instead.

The specialist asked me some questions & took a magnifiying glass & took a look at my dick head. Straight away he confirmed is not herpes. He said it is fungus and the rashes is worsen by the cream which is acidic. He advised me to stop using the cream straight away & asked me to swallow one pill sraight away. On the way home, the rashes reduced by 70% staight away. Upon continuing the pill/tablets for 2 days, I am completely recovered.

Heng ah.... but damn the bloody doctor for all the unnecesary anxiety !!

If all who tested postive for herpes were sent home, more than 85% of the WLs would be gone tomorrow. That's how I know.

More than 80% of the general population is infected with HSV1 and around 30 to 40% are infected with HSV2. I'm sure the infection rate must be even higher amongst sex workers.

However, most of the infections are asymptotic (no symptoms) and those infected are unaware of the fact that they carry the Herpes virus.
