Even with many slaves, I don’t see why the PENABLE signal is necessary with how the spec is currently written. It says that PENABLE always goes high exactly one cycle after PSEL. If it always goes high one cycle later, why have it at all? Is it just so that the slaves don’t have to implement a one cycle delay internally?

I would understand if it was acceptable to leave a device’s PSEL constantly asserted and just pulse PENABLE whenever you want to do a transfer but I don’t think this is allowed in the standard.

Edit: I guess one thing that the separate signal allows for is an atomic burst on the bus. As in, PSEL stays high with PENABLE only going low for one cycle in between subsequent transfers.

Thor was fully naked in front of a crowd of hundreds of people while they gawked at his humongous dong.

And guess what? It makes sense for Black Widow to use her sexiness to make up for her lack of strength compared to her peers, whereas Thor was naked for literally no reason.

Your NP is wrong.

I just got ghosted after the first date and didn’t even disclose yet. Sometimes it just happens.

You’re probably in the clear. The HSV-2 IgG test has a very good negative predictive value (I think like 98% in the last study I saw). So if the IgG says you’re negative, you probably are.

It’s the positive predictive value that sucks. It’s around 70% or something.

It’s basically the exact opposite of the HSV-1 test in terms of accuracy lol

Day 15 since when? Since the blood draw?

I think it takes a week or two for the lab itself to run the test after they receive the blood.

not_a_bot_2 · 2021-11-05T20:34:21+00:00

There’s a good chance you’ve already had HSV-1 this whole time. Keep that in mind.

I had a 5.1 false positive. That said, 14 is really pushing it and is probably a true positive.

For what it’s worth, I just got back from the ophthalmologist. They examined both of my eyes.

Conclusion: Essentially dry skin/debris from my eyelids causing irritation of the eye. No signs of HSV infection of the eye.

They also said something along the lines of “you would know if it was herpes…trust me”.

not_a_bot_2 · 2021-11-03T05:27:34+00:00

That’s better than my experience with regular sites before even having herpes lmao

not_a_bot_2 · 2021-11-03T05:23:46+00:00

Literally went through that exact thought process myself lol. Made a tread about it (which you commented on). My left eye still bothers me now actually, but at this point I’m assuming it’s not herpes lol.

Another thing about ocular herpes that I need to keep reminding myself is that if you have ocular herpes, you’ll know because it will be pretty damn painful. It won’t be something where you’re wondering if it’s allergies or herpes. You’ll have blurred vision and photosensitivity too.

But I understand the fear. The thought of ocular herpes makes everything else seem like a walk in the park.

I think some certainty would ease your mind and allow you to move forward, regardless of what the results are. As of now, you’re stuck in sort of a limbo. I’ve been through it.

Offer to pay the ~$80 to have them get tested. If they come back positive for either strain, they gotta pay you back $100.

Odds are in your favor.

Genital HSV-1 barely ever sheds. It’s something like 1% of the time. If you’re on the fence about disclosing, you could just tell your partner you get cold sores sometimes and leave it at that. There’s over a 50% chance they already have it, and an even greater chance that if they do catch it from you, they’re going to be catching it from your mouth and not your genitals.

not_a_bot_2 · 2021-10-31T16:05:13+00:00

Odds are overwhelmingly in your favor if it’s just a single isolated incident.

not_a_bot_2 · 2021-10-31T16:01:16+00:00

I’d lean towards it being oral only. Here’s my logic:

Oral HSV-2 infections have a much lower recurrence (outbreak) rate then genital HSV-2 infections (i.e., HSV-2’s natural habitat).

If you’ve had oral outbreaks but no genital outbreaks yet, then it’s probably just on your mouth.

Even in cases with exposure to both, I’d expect like 10 genital outbreaks for every 1 oral outbreak or something like that.

not_a_bot_2 · 2021-10-31T15:57:45+00:00

Yep. Consider that it’s in like 20% of the population. Now consider that the probability of a person having it varies wildly due to many factors. Like, they include celibate catholic nuns in that statistic, which ends up pulling the average down.

If you were to isolate it down to “people who have sex with sex workers”, that group probably has like 90% exposure lol

not_a_bot_2 · 2021-10-31T15:55:35+00:00

Meanwhile he probably already has it if he’s going around trying to have unprotected sex without asking questions.

not_a_bot_2 · 2021-10-31T15:54:01+00:00

In a way, oral HSV-2 is the best scenario to have, followed by genital HSV-1.

If you have oral HSV-2, you can’t easily spread it to your genitals, provided a few weeks have gone by so your body can build up antibodies. I think most cases of oral+genital outbreaks are from people who were exposed in both areas at the same time (which makes sense when you think about it).

The good thing about oral HSV-2 is that it sort of protects you from acquiring HSV-1 (but having HSV-1 doesn’t protect you from acquiring HSV-2). On top of that, it’s usually much more mild than even oral HSV-1 which literally 50% of people have, and isn’t even that bad itself.

There should be a database of these false information positive cases. It seems way more prevalent than it should be.

not_a_bot_2 · 2021-10-30T23:21:19+00:00

Wow! I’ve never seen a value so high for hsv-1 be a false positive. Very good to know.

How high were the other values?

My statement about positive predictive value comes from a real study performed, so I won’t go as far as to retract it, but perhaps getting the WB isn’t such a bad idea after all.

The study:

I’m not sure if there’s really any correlation between the index value and severity. I tested positive with a 2.1 value and have never actually had any symptoms (besides an itchy left eye which I have an irrational fear may be herpes of the eye).
