I believe many people are unaware of herpes. People should be informed about how serious it is. One out of five have it. I believe that if more ads were posted in the newspapers, etc. people (teens, men, women)will be informed of this life long STD.

What makes this worst is the fact that when one goes to the hospital, and/or clinic, health care providers don't want to test people for herpes. Why not?

In terms of the vaccine, I agree that those four out of five that dont have it, should be able to take it against this life long STD.
