Use condoms and insist that your partner does as well.  [/quote]

Use condoms for intercourse. The main things that transmit from unprotected oral are treatable with antibiotics. Testing frequently is a good idea and not very inconvenient. There are at home tests that are convenient but rarely covered by insurance. [/quote]

What?! No. Herpes. [/quote]

Lots of people already have HSV antibodies, and viral suppressants work well. [/quote]

Nope, not a lot of people have genital herpes and I'm sure nobody wants them or wishes to be on lifelong medication. If you are a woman with herpes, you can basically kill your newborn during birth, so that's why obgyns insist on c-section. So no, why would I want horrific breakouts on my genitals, lifelong meds, and extra complications during birth in order to have a ONS with someone else's husband with nothing else to gain other than maybe a pitiful orgasm.

As a woman with herpes, I can assure you that it has had zero effect on my life. [/quote]

As a woman with herpes I would have to assume that means you either are in a long term relationship or marriage, got it from your partner, and you both now only have sex with each other.  Or, you just don't tell potential partners you have herpes and don't worry about the consequences.  Any other scenario would likely have some impact on your life.[/quote]

None of those things is true. I got it when I was single (and having protected sex). I'm still single. I tell all partners. Nobody has had any issue with it. The two doctors I've slept with both laughed and told me they take PREP and Valtrex.[/quote]
