We all thought Jessica Alba was one hell of a hotty. Turns out, she’s actually quite a… well, “notty.” The latest bit of gossip about Jessica Alba is that she has Herpes, and that she got it from Derek Jeter of the NY Yankees, infamous for his celebrity flings. Which of course implies that he’s been giving out one of those dirty little gifts that keep on giving, to quite a few celebrity women. From what L.A. Rag Mag says, sounds like there’s a herpes outbreak in Hollywood. Ewww.
“We’re going to apologize in advance to all the straight men out there, for ruining their Jessica Alba fantasies, but here goes…..
Jessica Alba(before she was Jessica Alba) used to date Derek Jeter, the serial celebrity dater, who plays for the NY Yankees. Well, our source who worked for one of their camps, had to refill her Valtrex prescription for her on a regular basis! Guess who she got it from…that’s right…dirty Derek Jeter.
You know what this means don’t YOU?!! All of his other famous relationships could have contracted the STD TOO! Derek’s most famous sexual conquest include Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba, Vanessa Minnillo and most recently Jessica Biel. Which means JT could have it AAAHHH!!”
Now that’s just nasty. True, could be nothing but a rumour, but… still… Gross.

This was just proven untrue. It was just a lie..get on with your life now.
I don’t think it’s true either.
May you never find out just how easy it is to get herpes and how common it is.
Doesn’t everybody know that 90% of those that actually have herpes don’t know that they have it because herpes isn’t part of the routine std testing process?
[...] but what the fuck is this an ad for an energy drink or Valtrex?! And speaking of Valtrex now that it comes out that Jessica Alba has herpes I might need to hook up a prescription because I imagined hitting that so often I probably got that [...]
I think something like 80% of people that have herpes arn’t aware that they have it or that they can transmit it.
It’s actually 90% of those that have genital herpes don’t know it because they don’t get signs or symptoms. Since herpes isn’t included in the routine std testing process, why would they know?
Whoever wrote that headline should be held down and forcefully given every sort of herpes possible.
F you for treating this as something dirty. I also hope you catch hsv-2 then you can look in the mirror and say “eewww” to yourself. Linda
If she has it…she has it, no big deal. She is still the same beautiful young lady she was before. I hate the stigma that follows people with herpes.
weeeeeeeee hahahaha i believe derek jeter hadddd them :]
RED SOX. WORLD CHAMPS. O YEAAAA. ok imma stop with that.
How many of you arrogant f*cks have a clue about the disease? It is no more disgusting than being a critical piece of sh#t with the arrogant insinuation that your lips could never suffer the same…. who cares if it is true about Alba or not? Grow the F up!
If you’ve ever had a cold sore, then you too have a form of herpes. There are 40 million Americans in the U.S. alone who have HSV2, the virus that causes genital outbreaks, and 90% don’t even know they have the virus…so before you say how gross it is…get a blood test to see if you have room to be talking.
As far as I know, you can’t get herpes from jacking off, so who cares whether Jessica has it or not? She still looks hot, and 99.99% of men who fantasize about her will never even get to meet her, and they can still jack off to her pictures w/o fear of contracting anything.
The story, though highly judgmental and poorly informed, does underline the importance of using protection when engaging in sexual activity.
Whoever wrote this headline is completely ignorant. Instead of judging those who have herpes, we could get EDUCATED about it.
It is not herpes itself that is the problem. It is the negative stigma attached to it.
Perhaps whoever wrote this headline (after looking in the mirror one day and saying ewww to yourself), you need to imagine 4 of your closest female friends. 4 of the ones you respect and love. Now you need to realize that ONE OF THEM probably has herpes. This is based on statistics my dear. Are you going to stop respecting her and loving her, basically thinking of her as “dirty” now?
GET EDUCATED.
whoever wrote this, you disgust me.
I can honestly say, I have genital herpes, and you should be ashamed of yourself for judging people who have it, especially since none of us ASKED to be infected, but instead were either victims of people who didn’t have the decency to inform us, or by partners who didn’t even know themselves.
So , I’d keep my mouth shut if I were you, because those of us who are infected are SICK of hearing all the jokes, and nasty comments.
In my opinion, YOU are nasty just for judging.
In all honesty… herpes is not that big of a deal… Jessica is beautiful and talented… at least she’s using the valtrex to stop from spreading the virus (unlike the jerk who infected her apparently.) I was infected the same way, By a jerk who knew he had it and never told me. He too is from hollywood (television industry, not film). I am talented and beautiful and have a great life… i have no problem dating people mature enough to know/ understand that its really not a big deal! it’s really not! i hate that people think its so gross, its really not! 99% of the time i forget i have it because everyone is right, it IS symptomless! the only reason i take the valtrex is to protect my partner… and he hasnt contracted it yet!
Come on people, grow up… its not the end of the world. Everyone is right about the stigma…i used to think it was gross too! i used to watch the valtrex commercials and snicker and poke fun at them… well, i had it all along and never knew.
its not the end of life…life is what you make of it. I am always honest, and have never had anyone turn me down or be rude to me because of it… the most common response i have gotten since dating after being diagnosed is “well, its not your fault, there was nothing you could have done differently, i would never leave you for something as dumb as that.”
so for all you rude people out there, believe me, you can easily get it. I dont sleep around, and i used condoms and still got it from someone i was in love with!! I cant erase the truth, life does go on.
If jessica alba really does have it, then i say “you go girl” cause she hasnt let it affect her life…which no one should.
anyone reading this who is down on themselves, please keep your chin up… its not the worst thing in the world. The stigma will subside as most of the population will find out they have it. I guarantee there will be education about how its NOT a big deal, and how to stay healthy while living with it…. all you need to do is be happy and you will be fine. less stress is key.
take care all.
Oh, and to agree with Scott, the only reason i found out i had herpes was from a blood test. I specifically asked to be screened for everything, and that’s what they found.
My symptoms are very minimal… and subside after a day…. and when i say symptoms, i dont mean “sores” (as i have never had one yet!) i mean just tiredness and muscle pain in the legs… i never in a million years thought that herpes could be the culprit. ignore the very shocking pics on the net, in most cases they are VERY far from the truth. If you think you may have it, get tested as the treatments out there will provide you with a world of relief.
Good luck!
Em, that was beautifully put and completely true. Society seems to poke fun at the disease, but In reality I think most people do that because they are ignorant, and feel like it will never happen to them. The truth is though that anyone worth dating won’t back out because of something so small. I didn’t back out on my gf when she told me…and it took 4 years and and a bit of carelessness on our part for me to get it. It isn’t that transfferable if your careful…and I think most people know and accept that pretty well. Jessica Alba is and will always be beautiful. If it’s true she has it, it only adds to her beauty as strength is an attractive quality.
mariah carey most def has herpes, she has a valtrex
perscrption, and is gay. or at least bi,
Hold on… herpes? 1 out of 5 people have it.. its not a big deal anymore, very common.. has nothing to do with whether you sleep around or not..
I came across this by accident and I am so glad I did…I want to thank all of you for your supportive comments…I feel so much better after reading everyone comment… Yes, I have herpes and because of those people that judge us I have been hiding and making excuses not to date cuz I am afraid to tell men. Stupid, yes, but if you don’t have the virus then you have know idea how hard it is to tell that person you like you have herpes. It’s been over 20 years I have not dated…yup very lonely and sad…Honestly, I don’t know how to tell and don’t want to see that look on his face when I say btw I have herpes…
Honestly I am tired of all of the negative stigma attatched to Herpes and HPV as well. I would have rather gotten away with herpes than HPV because I now have complications with cervical cancer. As for the other people on this forum who have herpes, consider yourselves extremely lucky. Because HPV 16 may not cause outer symptoms but it causes cancer if left unchecked. So don’t feel alone or judged. As most of us caught what we had by not sleeping around, but from someone we were in a committed relationship with who we trusted. You people have NO IDEA how you can easily catch it. NONE.
ignorance is why people who do have it are afraid to come out and be honest about it!!! It just as common as the chicken pox.. it’s the same VIRUSSSSS… Just to a more extent! So what if she has it or Rhianna? It’s life get over it.. about 1 in every 5 people have it or have (or had) some kind of STD. PEOPLE NEED TO BE EDUCATED! Life goes on, but people who are ignorant about it, make people feel that they’re not worth shit when they try to live a “normal” life. Put it this way, the one you turn away because they may/may not have herpes, will be the reason why the next person u try to get involved with will be the one to burn you. =) do some research before you start rambling on about a disease that is just as common as the common cold…
How is having an ailment as common as a cold gross? Quit being so ignorant. It’s uneducated people like you who publish lame stories such as this that cause such misconceptions about a simple virus that millions of people have.
Hi I am a 43yr blackmale in atlanta ga. and i dont want to give herpes to anyone . like someone gave it to me but its hard to meet someone that you like and may want to hang out with or whatever. because one day you no you are going to have to tell them. so how do i meet a nice lady that may have it to and we dont have to say we have it. thanks
If ure trying to meet sum1 there are websites such as H-date.com
If sum1 likes u, don’t be afraid to open up. Im not saying go ahead and tell ur business to everyone you feel that ure attracted to, but life is all about risks. Its not going to be easy. Your life is different now, but ure not disgusting because u have it. As long as ure on top of ur game, u can live a normal n fun life. But the most important thing is accepting that something in ur life has change, but not You. Cheer up…
wow having herpes is not fun, people are so quick to judge (i kno cause i was like that before i got it), i just wish there was a way to educat America a little better on ur health issues. I wish someone could get the balls to talk about it publicly and not one of thoese silly commercials. We need to do better America!!!!!
When I was in high school I use to make fun of the Valtrex commercials, you know, they use to show people doing all this adventurous or exciting things like horseback riding, mountain climbing, canoeing, bike riding, whatever. And I would say something stupid like, “well, I didnt know you had to have herpes to do all that, I almost wish I could get it.” A year after graduation I was having my first outbreak. Ill admit, I was partying a lot and slept with the wrong man. But I dont regret it. Yeah, herpes sucks, you get stressed out or sick and then you get even more sick when the virus comes out, but if anything, having it has taught me so many life lessons. It has taught me not just to date anyone and be more careful with my body, who my friends are (I told of couple of my friends when I found out and some of them though it would be fun to tell everyone else, so I said goodbye to them and my real friends still loved me all the same) and it has taught me that any man that truly wants to be with you will say “I love you for everything you are” not “i love your body, but its too bad your diseased.” My sex life did not end, I have had a couple of partners and all of them were told before anything happened and they all said it doesnt matter, and none of them was given the “gift that keeps on giving.” My current boyfriend, soon to be husband, tells me everytime I get sick that he doesnt care if he gets it or not, he just wants to be with me. Thats love.
So no, herpes didnt destroy my life, it made me stronger and wiser. And if it took getting an std to take better care of myself, to stress out less, and made me smarter than I cant hate it all together, its just a bummer to have an outbreak. But hey, I take my valtrex and I ride my bike, go swimming and camping. So yes, my wish did come true after all.
It’s truly sad how disgusting people are in terms of what they say about herpes when the don’t know a thing about it, just what they have heard or think they heard. I, too, thought it was gross, and then surprise, I got it. 1 in 5 American adults has herpes, those are high odds. And those are an estimate, because what is frustrating that unless you have symptoms, its somewhat difficult to detect that you have it. If you have sores, they take a culture, and its 100% accurate. However, unless you have built up the antibodies in your blood, its hard to be sure. I am nearly positive I contracted it from an ex-boyfriend who got from one of his partners, but he refuses to come to terms with it. Regardless, it was a little difficult to come to terms with, as it simulatenously came with a break-up, but since my first outbreak, I have began taking my daily prescription and it keeps it under control. Like others, there are days when I forget that I have it. I truly wish the stigma of the disease would fade, and I do think that a massive campaign to educate others solely on herpes is necessary. Efforts are done to spread the word about teenage pregnancy and HIV, why not herpes? Sure, herpes doesn’t kill you, but it is something one has to overcome which takes some strength and effort, but that doesn’t make the nervousness fade every time you have to tell a new partner. Someone, a celebrity preferably, should start spreading the word, I would stand behind them.
I feel that people need to stop judging people for it. If 80-90 percent of humans have HSV-1 on the mouth, Then how many people have herpes 1 downstairs? A hell of alot more than 1 out of five.
Why is it okay to denigrate women who contract the disease from their MALE partners??? Other than avoidance, there aren’t a whole lot of ways to prevent contracting the virus. Even with condom use, if there are lesions on areas that the condom does not cover, a partner is at risk.
At least this people who are infected, are taking active steps to minimize risks to their partners by taking an anti-viral medication.
My younger sister found out she had it about a week ago. I have been researching “herpes” on the Internet and I have to admit, the pictures are terrifying. I broke down and cried, I just felt so horrible that she is scared and going through this and I don’t know what to say or how to help. I do not look down on people who have stds, unless they are aware and do not notify or protect their partners. Such as the dude who gave it to her. She feels like her life is over, that no one will ever want to be with her. My heart aches when I thin of her feeling like she doesn’t deserve to be loved…overall my consoling her and my advice isn’t helping because I don’t understand. Is there any good support websites not focused on dating? She’s not ready
Stephanie, your sister will be OK. Herpes is not a death sentence nor a scarlet letter. I got infected a long time ago, but since then I got married and my wife and I have a wonderful son who is entirely free of the virus.
Moral of the story? We get through it. And we get through it easier if we accept it and don’t spend a lot of time feeling sorry for ourselves or blaming the person who gave it to us, etc.
Herpes will (should) change one’s sexual choices – we should be careful about using appropriate protection and being careful not to spread the virus to others.
1 in every 4 americans has it.. thats not what we can be proud off.. it just shows that we have a rather promiscuous yet ignorant culture.. statistics shows.. yes no one is to be blamed as its an unknown virus.. in my opinion, due to our rather promiscuous culture, we should promote practising safe sex all the time whether its a stranger or a boyfriend/girlfriend until after both partners are tested. i hope the reseachers can come up with a cure, else it will just keep spreading all over the entire america.
i am not the promiscuous type. i admit that i am rather naive, trusting and believing my boyfriend of 2 years who knew he had it since college as he had an outbreak then. Now i am stuck with Hsv-2 for life thanks to the jerk. i have since had a bad outbreak that has sores all over my genital areas. it was very painful especially when the sores broke out with pus. the doc advised i should pump up on my immune system and that the subsequent outbreaks should be lesser. i am hoping for a cure too.
Okay, I have to comment on this. EVEN IF Jessica Alba had a Valtrex Rx, it DOES NOT mean she has genital herpes. I take Valtrex for recurring cold sores, a problem I have had since I was 15 years old, having NOTHING to do with ANY sort of sexual contact. When I got my first cold sore, I had never even kissed a guy. Valtrex is also used for oral cold sores, so perhaps, if Ms. Alba does indeed take Valtrex, it could be for cold sores, not for genital herpes.
Well at least you don’t die from herpes.
Hello to everyone,
I’d like to enlighten a few of you and correct a few things. First of all, Herpes (HSV1 and 2) is a virus not a disease. It’s as common as the common cold and no there is no cure for it as of yet. There are strides being made for a cure as we speak, but as of now, no. The virus can live on surfaces for about 4 hrs and live in towels for up to 72 hrs. As far as cold sores, sorry it is a strain HSV-1. Chickenpox, Shingles (vzv) is also a cousin of the HSV1 and 2 but not the same strain. Also for those of you who have had chickenpox, guess what, you still have it in your system for a lifetime also. So before you start judging and demoralizing others, be thankful ( if you have contracted it) that you don’t. For those that do, don’t be discouraged, it’s just a virus, yes its annoying and embarrassing at times, but it won’t kill you. The ones you need to worry about is HIV,syphilis, Hepatitis, among a list of others i won’t care to mention that can kill you. How do i know, well let’s just say i work with these communicable diseases everyday.
partner
He he, Miseralba got what she deserved. She f-cked around with fire and got burned and for those of you who want to whitewash the truth to make yourselves feel better, sit down!
Moron author of article: you probably do too. And your mom and dad. And your brother.
That’s not slander, it’s just statistics. Dufus.
Your such a jerk! How dare u!? I hope you never have to swallow your words and one day realize u have this life changing painful disease that no one asks for. I have two friends who have been infected with the virus and they weren’t dirty at all! One of them feel in love with a man while she was in highschool and she gave her virginity to him and the jerk knowingly infected her. My other friend was taken advantage of at a party when she had one too many drinks and was later diagnosed as well. These women are not dirty! All it takes is one time.
I’d be Jessica Alba’s personal toilet.
