About those percentages

[cat515]

I'm not a numbers gal. When it says the risk of transmission is between 2-5 % per year. Every year you're married, is the slate wiped clean? Or the next year does it increase to 4-10% and so on?

The website you listed came thru correctly - it was edited out by the medhelp moderators.  It's not one we recommend because it's not updated regularly, doesn't have accurate information and is loaded with ads.  there are very few websites the mods let us post here - they even edit me at times!!!

Your attacks are unnecessary and rude.  You could have just clearly stated that my information needed more research and the website I provided did not come through correctly.  

As to answer your question!  No, I am not a troll.  I am someone going through the same thing as our peers on this forum.  Have some respect!

Thanks Waringblender for your help.

No, it's not cumulative. If anything, the risk decreases the longer you are with your partner. There is a higher likelihood of being infected in the beginning of a relationship.

Lifegoeson, are you a troll? Your website is bunk.

If you need information about herpes, go over to the doctor STD forum on this website and do an archive search. You should find everything you need on risk assessment.

Your chances per year does not increase.  It's the same year after year.  Take time to educate yourself.
