This is extremely harsh

[hc4361]

He'd probably have got less if he'd beaten up.

i think it's absolutely right! i wouldn't touch him with yours if i knew he had herpes...and the point is - he DID know. she now has to live with the disease and stigma - ven potentially infecting any children in the future. dirty little bar steward x

[Ankou]

i was distracted by all the bikini and lingerie clips on the right hand side.

if he'd beaten her up she would probably have recovered, this will affect her whole life ahead.

You think a poxy 14 months for infecting someone with an incurable lifelong disease that will affect their self confidence and EVERY relationship they EVER have is harsh? They should've gave him ten and those that intentionally pass on hiv, 20+years in my opinion.

[Ankou]

this woman deliberately infected black men over a 5 year period with hiv, she got off light.

(you'll have to ignore the pictures of scantily clad women on the right)

Herpes is trivial. Many people don't get a recurrence, lots don't get any symptoms.
It is not life threatening, doesn't cause long term illness, and really need not cause any problems.

That's horrendous ankou, 32 months for several attempted murders???On another note no one would've been at risk had they decided to use condoms.

[hc4361]

I agree that woman got off too lightly. Aids cannot be compared to herpes.

[Wrongn3mber]

hc4361 so never being able to have oral or unprotective sex would be okay would it? What about the stigma attached which would be soul destroying as well as making any possible partners run to the hills in fear.

[Postdog]

Herpes is NOT trivial. I've been involved with someone who had it and it dictated her life relationship wise.

[nannybooby]

On another tack I have a feeling that in Spain they inocculate all children at about 3 months against tis kind of hepatitus why dont we do it here if it can stop things like this ?

[Wrongn3mber]

This is what I've been trying to say postdog, with herpes you are in sense imprisoned and never fully free which must cause depression and with some suicides.

'The couple moved in together but when he developed a less serious sexually transmitted infection he went for checks, which revealed he also had HIV.'

Jeez. Riddled. Do they have a '10 items or less' checkout at the clinic?

[hc4361]

Many people NEVER have a recurrence; MANY people never even have symptoms.
MANY people have herpes and don't know it.

I had a cold sore about 20 years ago, and I've never had another one. It's the same virus.

hc - you're talking crap. herpes is serious - lifelong, painful and stigmatising. how do you think the lady found out? by having an flare up, obviously, so it has affected her. perhaps you should be given herpes and would like to come back here in a couple of years and let us know how 'trivial' it all is. pillock...

[Mamyalynne]

Nannybooby we are talking about Herpes and not Hepatitis.

[cathfromsaron]

of course i agree herpes and HIV are in different leagues, BUT i would hope that ALL people would have *GOT* the safe sex messages by now???????

[hc4361]

kg76, many people have herpes and don't know it - no symptoms.
Those who do get flare ups can go years symptom free and the symptoms are usually mild.

Shingles is far far more painful.

[Safiya]

I don't think its harsh..... I don't understand this bit though ...

*But she was soon diagnosed with the lifelong infection and reported him to police when they split up in 2010*

so going by that she carried on the relationship knowing she was infected but wasn't too worried about reporting him at that time?

[hc4361]

Yes, Safiya. I expect he dumped her.

[lcg]

btw...it is LCG95 (actually look at the letters under my avatar which isn't difficult - but if your post is anything to go by, you do seem to miss out on an awful lot, don't you?). how would you know, hc, if herpes is soooo trivial??? are you actually aware of how this has affected the poor woman involved? also, there are different types of pain/distress associated with illness and disease if you'd care to discuss the physical, social and psychological aspects and constructs of health i'd certainly appreciate your opinion more - but i guess that may be a bit complicated for you as you seem to simplify anything you don't understand. i also still think you are a pillock and are simply digging deeper.
