tdog 0 #1 January 14, 2007 I work in the entertainment field... So I know a lot of actors and musicians. Most will "sell out" to a commercial here and there... But... What would it take for you to be in this commercial - and keep a straight face - knowing your mother would see it on national TV... Quote Script: Man I have genital herpes. Woman And I don't. Man And we are trying to keep it that way. So I take Valtrex everyday. Woman Between outbreaks, we thought we were ok, then we learned... Announcer One study found that up to 70% of people who had genital herpes got it from their partner when they had no signs of an outbreak. Man So I can still pass it on at any time. (Closeup) Now I take once daily Valtrex. Announcer VALTREX is the only medication proven to reduce the risk of spreading genital herpes. Proven only in heterosexual couples. Always use safer sex practices with daily therapy, (man and woman throwing rocks into the ocean at sunset) which also includes avoiding sexual contact when you get or think you are getting an outbreak. There is no cure for herpes. (man and woman riding bikes) Even with treatment it is possible to spread herpes. (close up on man riding bike) Valtrex is for adults with healthy immune systems. To avoid a serious complication tell your doctor if your immune system is not normal because of bone marrow or kidney transplants, or advanced HIV disease. (closeup of man on woman on park bench) Man So I still have genital herpes. Woman (Smiles) And I still don't. (Closeup on man) Man and now we are doing more to keep it that way. Announcer Ask your doctor about once-daily VALTREX. (Man and woman hugging) And save up to $10 on each prescription at Valtrex.com. So what would it take?

Icon134 0 #11 January 14, 2007 one of my friends used to say after watching a Herpes commercial that he really wanted to get herpes cause the people in the commerical always seemed to be having such a great time. Riding horses, running around on the beach... it sure seems like doing a commerical like this would be a good way to ensure you never have sex again...

sunshine 2 #14 January 14, 2007 I saw that commercial for the first time yesterday. My 9 year old nephew was in the room and wanted to know what genital herpes was. Why the fuck do they gotta make commercials like that? ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antifnsocial 0 #20 January 14, 2007 QuoteMaybe i'm a bitch, but i would never have sex with someone that had herpes. Protection or not, i wouldn't risk it.I hear you and agree but statistics like these really scare the hell out of me... For instance this: "500,000 to two million Americans contract herpes each year. Of these people, approximately half may never suffer any symptoms" and this is the same with many of the STD's. A healthy person may not have symptoms or even know they were infected and may be spreading diseases without knowing it. And many STD's can be spread through oral sex contact too. Scary shit people... know your partners and be safe. Ladies and gentlemen... get checked everytime you change a partner and know your partners or be very, very cautious. A condom just doesn't always do it. Some of us who are still disease free are only so by the grace of a higher power or luck. Disease free and jaded here....Please feel free to reply to my posts and pm's, but only if you're smart enough to understand what they really mean.

pash 0 #21 January 14, 2007 about 1 in 4 americans has genital herpes, or HSV2. HSV1 is commonly known as "cold sores" and has way less stigma attached but is still herpes. About 90% of women have some form of HPV, aka genital warts. just some useless facts to chew on. jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it makes you or anyone else a bitch. I'm not sure about statistics but I would imagine a lot of people that have it didn't have the luxury of making an informed decision. Of course there was that day in health class... jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
