  • Herpes is a different disease to hepatitis. You can be a carrier for hepatitis even if it isn't affecting you so you can pass it on.
    ABC are all variants of the same thing, some more dangerous than the others. I forget which.

  • No. They're two totally different families of viruses with differing viral tropisms, but both are sexually transmitted with a recent herpes outbreak serving to more easily transfect hepatitis, along with other STDs.

    • So u shouldn't mess with a person that has hepatitis or say they immune to it? Im asking because im talking ti someone who said that and before he start really liking me i can cut him loose i don't need no virus i wanna have kids i don't want kids born with that

    • Well, that depends on which type of viral hepatitis he has. The first 3 are far more common in humans with types A and B generally being less serious, vaccine-preventable, and typically cleared by the person's own immune system within just a few short months. All are spread through bodily fluids, however, and thrive under circumstances of poor sanitation with type C spreading exclusively through blood alone. Like HIV, (which indeed does spread through all bodily fluids except sweat, saliva, and tears), type C viral hepatitis is a chronic condition that tends to worsen over time, so medical intervention is often needed for most to prevent the development of more serious, life-threatening conditions like liver failure and liver cancer. Lastly, having a blistering herpes outbreak coincide alongside any given viral hepatitis infection only exposes more people to virus-laiden blood and other bodily fluids.

    • Note that cold sores are themselves manifestations of latent Herpes Simplex Virus type-1 attacking the trigeminal nerve ganglion and efferent cords with genital warts most often caused by type 2. In fact, most people worldwide have type-1. Nevertheless, safer sex dramatically reduces transmission of all these viral STDs, and if your friend truly is immune and wasn't just lying that is, then it's likely that he had either hepatitis A or B infection and not something else far more serious. The only way to know for sure would be to have a blood panel done evaluating the presence of viral antibodies or genetic material.

  • no they are not the same thing

  • No not at all

    • So if person gave oral u won't catch it ir have unprotected sex they won't pass it on to u?

    • I believe that herpes is a sexually transmitted disease. Hepatitis I don't think so but it may be.

  • Yes. Just like acne and AIDS are the same thing.

  • It’s not the same at all, it’s 2 totally different viruses, no one is immune to herpes

    • Just asking

    • That’s ok , it’s the place for it. If you’re going to have unprotected sex then you should have them tested for a full panel and not go by what they say
