Herpes Survey Answers In: Race and Gender Misconceptions Abound

Oct. 15, 2012 - PRLog -- The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD), as part of its monthly survey on STD knowledge, recently discovered that some people want to know if race or sex can influence how many genital herpes outbreaks a person may have.

“You know, sometimes you hear stuff about girls or people of other races getting herpes more. So, yeah…it makes you kind of curious. Do some people tend to get herpes outbreaks more than others?” – J. Gonzales, Los Angeles

The CBCD believes this is an excellent question and would like to answer it.

According to the CDC, “genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of five women aged 14 to 49 years) than in men (about one out of nine men aged 14 to 49 years).”

The CBCD would like to make clear that the reason for this is because transmission from an infected male to his female partner is more likely than from an infected female to her male partner.

The CBCD would also like to make clear that it is simply a racist, urban legend to suggest that particular ethnicities get herpes more than others due strictly to heritage.

It is true that certain communities may be more susceptible to acquiring a herpes infection than others. However, this is due to sexual behavior, and not due to anyone’s genetics.

The CBCD would also like to point out that anyone may improve their chances of keeping themselves from getting a herpes infection if they consistently use a condom. Moreover, the surest way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, including genital herpes, is to abstain from sexual contact, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected.

Mike Evans, from the CBCD said, “Yeah, I have read some very uneducated opinions online…particularly in forums like Yahoo Answers. There are people that will use any forum they can to try and suggest that one race or one gender is somehow
less’ of a human being than another. It’s disgusting. The answer is for people to become educated…and to let a little light shine into their hearts and minds.”

After an initial period of activity where there can be up to 5 major outbreaks in a year, Herpes establishes what scientists call a latent infection. When a virus is latent, it acts as if it is asleep. It is dormant. The moment your immune system is weakened however, the Herpes virus can “wake up” and become active again.

The best defense against a latent herpes infection is a healthy immune system, however.

That’s why the CBCD would like to point out a Herpes remedy that boosts the immune system and helps target the dormant (latent) HSV virus.

“The key to your health is to reduce the level of the chronic viruses in your body to harmless levels.” – Dr. Hanan Polansky

The name of that antiviral remedy is Gene-Eden-VIR. This all-natural product was scientifically designed to help the human body maintain low concentrations of the dormant or latent herpes virus.

By helping the body’s immune system target the latent herpes virus, people also lower their risk of developing fever blisters, cold sores, or genital herpes symptoms. This is just one reason the CBCD believes Gene-Eden-VIR is an important product.

Gene-Eden-VIR is highly effective against latent viruses; each ingredient was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals around the world to identify the safest, most effective natural ingredients that target the latent forms of both HSV-1 and HSV-2.

Gene-Eden-VIR is quite safe. It has been on the market for over three years, and in that time, no side effects were reported. Each capsule contains a patented formula of five all natural ingredients including selenium, camellia sinesis extract, quercetin, cinnamomum extract, and licorice extract. In addition, each bottle is GMP Certified.

Gene-Eden-VIR is sold online through the Gene-Eden website. Each bottle of Gene-Eden-VIR (a one month’s supply) costs just $34.99.

The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD, http://www.cbcd.net) is a research center recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization. The mission of the CBCD is to advance the research on the biology of chronic diseases, and to accelerate the discovery of treatments for these diseases.

The CBCD published the “Purple” book entitled “Microcompetition with Foreign DNA and the Origin of Chronic Disease” written by Dr. Hanan Polansky. The book presents Dr. Polansky’s highly acclaimed scientific theory on the relationship between the DNA of latent (chronic) viruses and the onset of chronic diseases. Dr. Polansky’s book is available as a free download from the CBCD website.

We invite biologists, virologists, and scientists everywhere to download Dr. Polansky’s book here: http://cbcd.net/.
