Edit: Oh geez. I guess I might’ve just gotten worked up on just the stigma. Hell, I wonder if I gave it to her now. I’ve slept around way more than her.
Edit 2: I cut out the whole long story because I’m a bit embarrassed to have overthought it so much and I guess it’s not really relevant. I’ll leave the post up so maybe other anxious people can see the responses.
The spark notes version is: I loved a girl and let her go and when she came back, she and I worried about her having herpes.
Yeah, who gives a fuck? more people have it than don’t.
Above someone posted a stat that only 13% have genital herpes
Wikipedia says 60-95% of adults
Are we reading the same article?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genital_herpes
Oh, I was looking at the page for Herpes in general. My bad. Have a look at that if you’re interested.
I think the thread overall has a lot of people talking about herpes in general instead of specifically genital herpes. I wonder if OP edited the title or what
Yeah sorry, I did edit the title from just herpes to genital herpes after like the first two comments. I didn’t want the post to just be all edit notes. I don’t know which type she has and I didn’t initially understand the distinction. I know she has it down there and takes daily antivirals. I think the general information is still useful however because there’s a heavy stigma and the uniformed wouldn’t likely understand the distinctions like me.
Same answer for me still. Most people who have it are asymptomatic.
