If lesions only appear in 10% of those affected how come 60 or 175 wrestlers had an outbreak in the mentioned wrestling camp. Perhaps there should be a reference to the studies that state that lesions only occur in 10% of those affected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.155.126 (talk) 02:03, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Also is there a difference between shingles and gladatorial herpes because this article doesn't make any mention to shingles in my experience shingles goes from the nerve out not the other way around76.88.222.33 (talk) 04:32, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
this article needs merged into the HSV article.
editthe naming of this disease is completely political. There are only two type of Herpes HSV-1 and HSV-2. These athletes are spreading a STD HSV-1 and HSV-2 and the media doesn't want to call it that b/c of the strong negative connotations with STDs and genital herpes.206.193.253.171 (talk) 12:26, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
I agree with the above poster. The whole "Herpes gladiatorum" is not a new or different virus. It is just a name used to avoid calling the aliment what it is: HSV1 and HSV2 via direct skin contact. The name was probably made up to avoid the stigma of "Genital Herpes" which is exactly what it is. This is not a different virus like Herpes Zoster. It is the exact same virus and does not need a special name to help high school wresters' ego. It is ridiculous that this article even exists in the first place. Does anyone else see the issue here? One unique identified per a virus. No need to confuse the public with extra virtually meaningless names.
Someone flag this article for deletion
editPlease. Can anyone defend this article?

Dude this isn't a personal blog, this is the Wikipedia talk page for Herpes gladitorum article. Please consider refraining from monologues like this in the future. 98.249.232.198 (talk) 04:23, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
Meaningless
editThis statement is so ungrammatical as to be devoid of any meaning;
Previous adolescent HSV-1 seroconversion would preclude most herpes gladiatorum, but being that stress and trauma are recognized triggers, such a person would be likely to infect others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.151.210.84 (talk) 19:06, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
