This is a classic example of how not enough knowledge about a topic, combined with arrogance, produces errors in understanding.
Stop arguing and start listening and researching. By the way, you're wrong.
In what way am I wrong? Bacterial and Viral infections act different ways in the body, depending on each and every persons own genetic make-up ie) immune system.
Can a woman have only one bladder infection in her entire life? Will her antibodies prevent her from ever having another bladder infection for the rest of her life? Not all UTI's are STI related you know. Ever heard of a yeast infection? Apparently it's common enough they even have commercials for them.
Yet, you can't catch chicken pox, another strain of the HSV, more than once. Would anyone care to refute this? I must have missed that class. You can, later in life, have an outbreak, commonly referred to as shingles, which occurs in 33% of adults.
What is your argument? My mis-wording of bacterial/viral antibodies?
Let me rephrase this differently perhaps. Everyone should know or understand about getting tested. When testing for HIV, they don't actually test for the HIV virus itself, only if antibodies for it are present. This same application applies to Hep-A/B/C, HSV1/2 (though it's rarely tested for), etc. When it comes to bacterial infections, the shelf life is totally different. If a woman is treated for a UTI, does she remain UTI-positive for the rest of her life? No. She could be treated for chlamydia for example, and after 4-6 weeks, would no longer test positive for it.
I don't think I'm being arrogant our outlandish at all. I'm seeing this from a logical standpoint based on how testing for STI's is done.
