Herpes: Even physiciens have not learned the troubling new information we now know about herpes. Once one is infected they can be contagious at unpredictable times and at unpredictable rates, even when they do not have sores. This phenomenon is called viral shedding. Most couples share the same virus and do not need to worry about this. But, if not then there is treatment to turn down the risks.
