I never heard of this one befoe - A 36 year old friend says her older sister (older by more than 20 years) said that when she was in the military and going to Germany she was told that if she gets Herpes (Herpes Simplex 2) she would be banished to an island for life. Supposedly the victims of this strain of Herpes would die soon from the disease traveling to the brain. I laughed and said I doubted it but then someone else said they had heard of it! I have searched the net and found no references what so ever to this. Anybody heard of this?

In Dawn's defense, she never said she believed it - she just wondered if anyone had ever heard the same story.

Thank you Matt, I figured that respoding to Radar gave him credibility - I didn't believe it - Why else would I have researched Herpes and then posted here? Thanks again Matt.

This is an old military "urban legend" that's been around for a long time. When I was in Korea, heard a different version where if you contracted a certain STD, you wouldn't be able to return to the US because of it's seriousness. Probably something started long ago to try and keep the troops a little in check?

Good morning I am making a research on the interactions of aciclovir and Cefalexin: individually and with concomitant use.

Good Morning, Strapasson. I must know: is Herpes the reason you have to strap your ass on? I'm confused, but I've never had herpes, and my ass is still attached. It sags like a glacier, but it's mine

Gosh... I'm sorry- I hope nobody thought I was suggesting that countries strewn with glaciers are like places strewn with slow moving asses, like Washington, DC
Do they have an island for stupid people also? If so, I have some candidates I'd like to recommend.

Geese, I just realized how old this thread is. strapasson probably used google to find something out about herpes & landed here.
I would wonder if it's Spam, except that it doesn't make a lick of sense.

What the hell's "concomitant", anyways? Don't think I have Herpes, just because I'm asking, because I don't. I'd like to be banished to an Island, though, if it's Gilligan's Island.

I'd build me a car out of cocoanuts, and drive down to the lagoon with Ginger and Mary-Ann for some clothing-optional quality time. First, I'd beat the bushes for Invisible Gilligan, but then we'd swang
...so he wants to know about them individually & accompanying...but accompanying what?

herpes doesnt go to your brain silly it just an old fashined choke they used in the millitary to scare people not ot have any dates so they would get on track, yah herpes doesnt kill you at all, rarely theres cases were people die from herpes but thats 1 out of 500 million people!
