and is it bad or contagious.

i do have herpes, but i’m not having an outbreak.. what could be causing this?

i keep peeing. alot. and theres seriously CLOTS of blood in my pee.

my aunt had a paralysis facial her eye got swollen and mouth turned sideways?? the gave her valtrex why??

I’ve just got a recent herpes scare yesterday.. 7/30/09
I bought some juice from a guy with a juice stand near our gym yesterday, I saw the hand he used to hold my cup (His thumb nail was partially cut off and i saw the part where he was cut going to the side of his thumb turning black.. but i didn’t saw any cuts or open wounds). Here in the Philippines some of the juice stand uses ladles to get the juice form the container. (I didn’t saw any juice hit his thumb also) so that was quite a relief. I didn’t touch the part where his thumb was touching the cup also. But I drank the juice. Then the next day which is today 8/1/09. This morning i looked at the mirror and i saw my lip perfectly normal.. then, an hour later, i took a bath. After I took a bath, I saw an inflamed part on my left upper lip, like a blister, it was red but it didn’t hurt or itch. Then I went to the gym, when I was doing exercises at the bar (I saw the last guy using the bar wearing gloves) i’ve been using it 3 times and my hand was perfectly normal.. but for the 4th time used it, after my set, My right hand itched and I noticed it was red, and I saw one single small blister on my right hand. I went paranoid because I know that herpes causes itching blisters. I went home and took a bath, my hand was still itching, and I used alcohol and disinfected my hands twice with it.. and minutes later it was itching but very light only. The itching occurs randomly, and that evening, I used the right hand to masturbate… I’m 16, and i’m scared. Please help, Do you think this is herpes? Do you think that i’ve passed the bacteria on my hand on my genitals? please help.
Right now I’m looking at my right hand, there’s this small blister but it’s not itching. (by the way the hand was itching, not the blister itself) It isn’t painful, it isn’t red, and it doesn’t hurt when I touch it. Do you think it’s herpes? Please help.!!!!!!!!!!!

Or is that just a guess right now?
So far it looks like from the first response that there’s little connection, but I wonder if there’s a direct link in some people that have a brain or something that’s already susceptible to brain deterioration but somehow the herpes simplex triggers it, where there existed the tendency for schizophrenia, but if and only if herpes simplex was introduced?

Apart from having herpes, I am a perfectly healthy young woman who is interested in being an egg donor. I am just wondering if it is worth my time to start the application process if my having herpes will cause it to be declined… thanks!

I understand that herpes can be transmited through sex if one party has it, mainly unprotected sex.

But can it be transmitted when 2 of the partners doen’t have herpes?

i heard that rough sex just after period can cause herpes, is that true?

I am aware that the virus that causes chicken pox is from the same family and is contagious.

My aunt has it and she is wondering when can she go back to work ’cause she works at a school and she is scared the kids might get it.

is it possible that someone with herpes zostor (shingles) can have sex with someone causing the other person without shingles to contract type 1 herpes?

-thanks
