I have found that there is a lot of misinformation on the internet about health issues therefore I appreciate your great content. I find that regular activity, such as running, is good for your health and will help you keep fit. Personally I love starting my day with some simple yoga exercises. This will even help keep you fit in the bedroom. The only other issue you have to be aware of is your sexual health. Especially the HPV Virus seems to be up and coming but an infection can easily be avoided if you have informed yourself about this subject. What does anyone else think on this?

So if you have a cold sore and perform oral sex, your partner could get herpes I on their genitals or vice versa. They are basically the same disease. and @Julien some studies claim that anywhere from 60-90% of adults actively have or carry one of herpes viruses. You can get it so easily, but it is treatable and manageable. @milky you can get oral/genital herpes from each place. there are two different strains of herpes simplex virus, most commonly herpes I causes oral herpes and II causes genital (I think I’m remembering the numbering right), but they can be passed between locations.

We've never worried about it, and even though we've shared food and such all my life, I've never caught it from her. Even if you did manage to catch it from someone, many people get over it without any symptoms, and in the worst case it comes and goes in a couple of weeks, with a symptom or two perhaps every few years after that. You'd be surprised at what proportion of the adult population has herpes (1/4), hpv (1/2 at some point in their life), and other viruses and don't even show it... our immune systems do a pretty good job of either eliminating these viruses or putting them into permanent remission. As for myself, I caught HPV from the very first girl I messed around with, and before I even lost my virginity. I can tell you that I was angry and disappointed about that for quite a while. Sure enough, though, I got over it and it went away. Now, even though I've been symptom free for years, I'm still honest about having had it with my girlfriends, and I always use protection... and you know what? It's never been an issue since.

Can you elaborate? Hey, Shay,
I always thought that because oral and genital herpes are different, and that oral herpes can’t pass to the genitals (or vice versa) during oral sex! Can you elaborate?
