Geographical Incidence of Herpes - Herpes Message Board

catharine101 · 10-15-2007, 10:27 AM

Hello All -

I was just thinking this morning about how posts on this site seem to indicate that herpes is viewed differently in different parts of the world. There was also a comment recently about how the amount of herpes infections seems to be higher in certain areas of the world - Australia was mentioned.

I did a bit of searching for this online, and didn't come up anything. I'm wondering if anyone has any facts/suspicions/theories about the incidence of this virus - not only in the US (where most of the stat's seem to come from), but all over.

It's just curiosity, but I thought if enough people were interested enough in this to post an opinion, it might give us all something to chew on!!

Cheers!

Yo Catharine,

Interesting thread. I'll poke around a bit and see if I can come up with some data for you.

Along the same sorta lines I was beginning to wonder if there was a seasonal aspect of herpes. (I realize there really isn't) seems since I've joined this site my extended family of others with forever friends grows in spurts. Seems like theres an influx at different times of the year. Right now being a popular time.
Which co insides with my first outbreak.I'm pondering what my anniversary gift to me from me should be.. (tongue in cheek here)

My curiosity isn't really a challenge for data but just something thats been rolling around in that space between my ears.

Cheers girlfriend,

Hey California -

I suck at internet research - it took me forever to even find this site!! So me not finding anything doesn't mean much!!

I'm not technologically inept, just not good on the net!!

Anniversary present - ice cream and alcohol??? Better yet, go out and spend a whole lot of money you don't have on something you've been wanting for awhile!! Regardless of what we celebrate, every once in awhile that's necessary!!

Cheers!

Love your suggestions for anniversary ideas.

I looked in my reading material for the quote of numbers regarding Australia and of course in my brief quick scanning I didn't find it.

I know I read it somewhere though. Maybe it was another book of mine. hmmmmm

When time permits (and I feel like it) I'll check out that other book.
