1. Is it possible that herpes will not show symptoms at all? Months or years?

2. Is it true that herpes can be transmittable through sharing drinks like sharing of drinks when drinking beers with only 1 glass only with your group? Can we get herpes on that way? If so is it possible that we can get HSV-1 and HSV-2 on it?

 I just want to learn more about these kind of things. Your response will be much appreciated. Thank you & God bless..

    1. Yeah thats true, people can live with it their entire lives and never know.

    2. Highly unlikely as far as im aware, but i imagine that if someone has an active cold sore and the fluid gets around the cup, then someone else drinks from the cup in the same location it could be passed on. Oral hsv 2 is very uncommon.

      Yeah im pretty sure u can have syphilis for years and not know it. To be honest its the same with a lot of STI's, it just depends on hoe each individuals body reacts to the infection, this is the problem. If everyone knew they had what they had, then prevention would be far easier. Its just a risk you take when u engage with someone intimately.

      Yes you can transmit sti's that way, like herpes is obvsiously transmitted through skin to skin contact so that would be a prime expample.

      Is syphilis for life too like herpes? Even treated its still there in our body? I think I have herpes or syphilis because of the genital I got now its been 1 week already since I got it but I dont have pain urination. I dont know who gave it to me. I and my girlfriend are living together and we’ve been 1 1/2 months now when I get here I dont have the sores but now I have it I dont know know who passed it to me she says she’s clean she goes everymonth in the hospital and I think maybe I had it all the time because I cheated on her last year with 4 girls.

       2 with unprotected sex and 1 of it is my girlfriend, 1 protected sex but unprotected oral for just a seconds because when I knew she take off the condom I force to stop and lastly the girl who rubs my genital only and also have kissing contact. I asked the 1st girl too if she has something on her and she said angerly that she is clean she has proper hygiene and she has also have a living partner as of now. I do not know what happened. I know STD but I do not think of having it on my own. Im stupid!! 

      My girlfriend now she said she had nothing she dont have the same as me a sore I think its because its still early or really she gave it to me? I hope you still answer my question I just want to share what happened to me. Thank you so much!!

      Syphilis is a difficult one, it can be cured with the right antibiotics, but then latent syphilis can be with u for life. Have you been to the doctors or a sexual heath clinic? I honestly think thats the best thing you can do at this stage, speculation will get you no where.

      It makes no difference on someones hygiene, they can be the cleanest person in the world and still contract an STI without even knowing they have one.

    1- yes you can have HSV 1&2 asymptotically. Not showing any signs of the virus but this means that they shed the virus still which is how it gets passed on again. 

    2-I believe this is true yes. But I’ve read conflicting things about this. How you can’t get herpes from objects. But I guess I’m theory you can get it if you drink right after someone with HSV has. The easiest indicator if you should stay away from drinking or having sex is the blisters. But they could be shedding the virus or have an outbreak coming on.
