LA Rag outs Jessica Alba as having herpes

[sweet2071]

There are worse things in life than having herpes. Sheesh.

Yeah like being irresponsible and passing it along to unsuspecting partners.

Or possibly seeing a newborn who contracts it from their mother through a vaginal delivery. Or developing viral meningitis from the herpes virus.

Genital herpes is not just an innocuous annoyance. It can be much more medically detrimental. Ever see a herpes eye infection? Not pretty.

Uh oh, that means Ryan Reynolds may have been exposed when he was banging the Biel Booty this spring. Hopefully he has enough sense to use a condom.

Ooh, careful about that. I don't think that's been proven and some people may misinterpret it as fact.

Nothing is ever "proven" in the medical field. It is all theory. There is definitely some research in this area that points to the direction that some people have highly evolved immune systems which prevents viral infections from taking hold. Case in point....there HIV positive babies that were born but within several years are completely HIV negative. And there are also documented adult cases. I am not saying this is a large population of people but there is definitely some evidence to support this notion.

My bachelors is in molecular biology and when I got my doctorate in pharmacy this theory was also reiterated and discussed when we studied pathophysiology. I see this all the time in my job where two people can have infected blood cultures and one becomes completely septic and dies regardless of what we do while the other is sick but never crashes, winning a trip to the ICU. Immune systems are not created equal. Diet may play a role. If you eat fatty fried foods and no fish containing omega 3s then your inflammatory response may be excessive thus causing the septic picture to develop. That is also theory but very interesting.

Ah, hell. After a few of drinks and a line or two of coke, nobody has herpes.

Everyone fucks one another in Hollywood land anyway, it's to be expected.

Can I ask who FF is ?

Scroll on down under Daily Life - Health & Fitness to the Herpes thread and your question will be answered. It's a very amusing thread....

And these celebuturds are "beautiful" and "sexy" when like over 90 percent of these nasty skanks have some form of communicable diseases and who know what else kind of nasties?

Yeah, tell that to the child who's stuck with a lifelong ailment that they didn't ask for just because they were born through an infected birth canal.

Unbelievable. This kind of blase attitude towards STD's is the very reason why it keeps getting worse instead of better.

[Voodoo Child]

Times like this I am glad I am not a celebrity.

[VenusInFauxFurs]

I'm glad I haven't banged half the celebrities I have fantasized about over the years then.

[Voodoo Child]

^^ I still bang them but only in my dreams.

[VenusInFauxFurs]

Lol

Seriously I still find it ridiculous when I hear that girls are still having unprotected sex with their partners...It's sad because people just don't have the right information.

I want it to become the mightiest, most gigantic thread in the history of message boards.

Wasn't it Jessica Alba who recently admitted to really enjoying one night stands and casual sex? She's probably kicking herself this morning for that. Or will be when the guy on top of her finishes and rolls off.
