ok i'm sooo confused because i just dont understand how HSV1 turns into genital herpes (HSV2). let me tell you what i know. HSV1 is cold sores and you get it through people that has it by kissing sharing drinks anything that have touched the person infected. however, when you give oral sex or lets say kissed someone else's genitals while you have the HSV1, how come it automatically switches to HSV2 when that person gets it from you? or is it different? meaning if that person gets genital herpes from HSV1, can you tell the difference if a person gets genital herpes from HSV2? because this is really really serious since researching online, it shows that 85-90% of the population has HSV1 but just dormant or some shows it by having cold sores. if almost everyone has the virus then wouldn't it give a lot of people genital herpes since a lot of people give oral sex/kissing? however not everyone gets genital herpes through HSV1 so this is just confusing.

thank you for all your answers!

I've had swollen lymph nodes for a little over two months on both sides of my neck. They don't bother me other than I'm worried about them. I went and saw the doctor two weeks ago, and they did a blood test on me and determined that I had mononucleosis (I tested positive for the mono spot test). They told me that that is the reason I have the swollen lymph nodes. I went in for a follow up, and they told me that the other blood tests came back normal except something about my liver count or something of that nature was a bit off (not sure exactly what they meant).

I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance, as I'm prone towards anxiety, and I worry about everything. Should I be concerned that it's something much more serious? Or should I trust the doctors diagnosis of mono and just wait for my body to work through the virus? How accurate is the mono test? How long can my lymph nodes remain swollen? Any help would be much appreciated!!!

I told my partner about the STD so he could get treated. He didn't get treated right away, and we didn't have sex again until he said he had been treated...Once we did begin having sex again, we always used condoms (that never broke) the whole duration of sex. I had even got tested again after the meds to make sure the chlamydia was gone and the tests came back negative. Now, I went and got tested again and I tested positive for chlamydia. I don't understand how this is possible considering I have not slept with anyone else and even if the guy I was sleeping with did have sex with an infected person, we still used condoms...Any suggestions on how it's possible that I may have contracted this again?
I have read that it is usually transmitted thru regular intercourse and sometimes oral or anal, but I didn't do any of that except for the oral part, but that was after he supposedly got treated.

He also claims no tests show him being HIV positive 10 years after positive tests. How would the HIV have gone away? Would it be safe to have him box again?

He has had a second opinion, but he won't do any follow-up and he often has a congested chest. He has never smoked in his life and I don't think it's hereditary. He works 7 days a week, and I'm worried about him.

I have been with my boyfriend for 11 yrs, we have 2 children. I had either a cold sore or herpes. I have never experienced either before this outbreak. I believe it to be herpes b/c 2 days later I found out he was cheating for the past 4 mths. He says it is a cold sore. If either of us had herpes that were dormant over the last 11 yrs. wouldn't I have had an outbreak by now. I believe I contracted from oral sex. Could he have contracted them from the other girl and passed them to me?

I am scared that I have aids. I had sex last week just right out of the blue so my boyfriend didn't have on a condom. I am only 14, so that's another thing. I wasn't on my period though. I have noticed some rashes in my mouth and I have heard that AIDS and cause that.

Can you tell that you have aids without going to the doctor?

My mom recently fell and is acting a little weird. She broke her nose and possibly did other damage. Lately, she has been mixing up unrelated words. For example, she says the little girl was hanging on her mom's nose......as compared to what she meant to say, "leg".....Can anyone tell me why this is?

Despite healthy people eating the right and healthy foods with good exercise, how is it possible that these people who take good care of themselves get cancer?

But isn't it suppose to be the other way around? In other words, I mean that people who don't take care of their health and eat fatty, unhealthy foods get cancer. I doesn't make sense when healthy people like healthy non-smoking, healthy people get lung cancer.

I know the causes of cancer is to eat unhealthy foods and not do many healthy activities.

But my question is......
What is the cause of lung cancer for people who are non-smokers and take good care of their health? The wife the actor Christopher Reeve(Dana Reeve) died from lung cancer even though she was a non-smoker and a very healthy person.

When you choose to answer my question, don't answer with "that's how life is" or "that's the way it is" or "life is unfair". Please give a specific and elaborate answer to my question.

Is nature responsible?

i got a bunch of bug bites (about 15; 8 on one leg, 7 on the other) and they are all swelling up. most of them are the size of quarters but some are as big as sand dollars. i have had this problem before but i put benadryl cream on them and they shrunk down. i put cream on these bites as soon as i got them and within hours, as usual, they were swollen to at least 3 times their original size. and now they hurt. at first they were itchy, but now it is painful to touch them. what should i do?
