[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many people get HSV while very young, before they are sexually active.  HSV-1 is extremely common, even among people who never had sex, because people share bottles, forks, etc., and HSV-2 can be transmitted orally too.  There are reasons why standard STD panels don't test for either HSV-1 or HSV-2.  [b]The reasons are that all types of HSV are extremely common and not a very big deal for people who have them.[/b] [/quote]

This is very true.

Most people carry the HSV virus of one type or another.

It’s comical how few adults understand how common HSV really is:

“As of 2016, about 67% of the world population under the age of 50 had HSV-1.[3] In the United States, about 47.8% and 11.9% are estimated to have HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively, though actual prevalence may be much higher.[4] Because it can be transmitted through any intimate contact, it is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections.[5]”

The posts on this thread make is seem like genital herpes is:
Acceptable
Not bad
All the cool kids have it
It's normal

It is not. And if OP wants to have a normal dating life for the rest of his life he will not risk 3 minutes of fun for a lifetime of genital herpes. [/quote]
Lol. I got it from a long term BF I dated from ages 21-24, 20 years ago. I proceeded to date and find a great husband with no issue. You just have to disclose. Maybe I am somehow lucky finding smart guys who understand public health, but truly I had no issues and haven’t given it to anyone. [/quote]

......that you know of. [/quote]
Uhh… how would I not know? I only slept with 3 guys after I got it and all of them were long term relationships. We’re still in touch. Pretty sure they would’ve mentioned it. [/quote]

What a stupid response. If they're sleeping with a bunch or girls they wouldn't know where they got it from.[/quote]
