Herpes : It can be a shock to discover you have an infectious disease. But, 75% of americans have herpes type one and 26% of americans have herpes type two. The thing to ask yourself is if these diseases are causing you any difficulties or pain or other problems. You can ask for a confirmatory test to be done called a western blot test if you like. Your sexual partner needs to be tested.
