 ____ How To Have Good Sex! | 
 Ask Hayley, 
  
     I was diagnosed with herpes almost a year ago. I didn't tell my
  gyno that I had contracted them from a cold sore on my partners lip.
  My question is, is this the same as having contracted herpes from
 
  
     intercourse?
 
  
     I do have another question. I'm starting to get serious with
  someone new. And I'm not sure how to go about this subject. Any
  suggestions?

     Dear Shelby,
 
  
     There's a long answer to your question, but I'll try to keep it simple. Herpes is caused by two viruses: herpes 1 and herpes 2.
  Most often (but NOT always) herpes 1 causes cold sores on people's
  lips and herpes 2 causes sores on people's genitals. This is not
  always the case, so without a viral sample from a sore, one can't know
  which virus is causing a sore. One important distinction is that sores caused by herpes 1 are usually less severe and heal faster. If
  you did get herpes-1 from someone, you're likely to have less
  frequent and shorter recurrences. In terms of telling your new partner my advise is to get to know him a little first and then just tell
  him. Don't make too big a deal about it, but be honest. You also might want to convey these facts: genital herpes is extremely common, approximately 22% of all adults in the United States have the
  virus(over 90% have antibodies to herpes-1). The catch is that less
  than half have significant symptoms, so they don't know they're infected If you want more information I recommend contacting the American Social Health Organization at 919-361-8488.
