<s>[INST] I don t know how I got Herpes....as per information in internet it should be sexually transmitted I didn t have sex with another women other than my wife. But as per previous medicine gave me to control cold sore I have Herpes. Is it affecting sperm count...Can I be a farter? Im confused how can I explain this to my wife? [/INST] Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Herpes is caused by a virus that affects the genital area (the vulvae and vagina in women and the penis in men). But, in medical practice, it does not seem to cross over into other reproductive areas and has little or no effect on a men sperm production nor a women ability to conceive. The information you read on internet could be false and misleading. Please consult an STD specialist before confusing yourself and work with him.
