>8/10 people you meet have herpes

nope.

refused to date a girl who had genital herpes. she was really pissed off about it but oh well.

8/10 is globally
It's more like 40-50% in the states (increases in % as you go to older age demographics) and 22-25% for type2. Not sure what the stats are for western yuros.

Yea I have lip herpes but it never breaks out

Got the herp from the FIRST FUCKING TIME having sex with my then gf back in high school. Told me I was the the only guy she ever slept with then a couple days later my dick started itching. Broke up with her shortly after that and cut off all contact. Last I heard the cunt was now a single mother living at her parents house.

Yes actually, picked it up from a woman...


Honestly, not that big of a deal people. Pharmaceutical industry picks up something mundane and turns it into some life shattering crisis. 7/10 or 8/10 people have it just depending where you live so.

Yep, type one. No idea how I got it, I always had cold sores on my lip ever since I was a young kid, so it wasn't from sexual contact.

I had no idea that those cold sores (Herpes type 1) on your lip could actually spread to the genitals via oral sex, and I gave it to my gf of the time. Still feel bad about that.

Got it from a m2f threesome. Never had another outbreak.

Isn't chicken pox a herpes virus?

you gave her oral while having an active cold sore outbreak on your lip? pretty dumb desu

Nope. Another fun fact I learned: You don't have to have an active cold sore breakout to give it to someone else. It's transmissible for a few weeks before the cold sore even shows up.

>It's transmissible for a few weeks before the cold sore even shows up.
oh fuck that's terrifying. I have huge health anxiety about STDs and herpes scares me the most

>tfw can't get a herpes blood test on the NHS
still paranoid I caught herpes from mutual masturbation but the clinics don't offer tests unless you have a lesion to swab so I literally have no way of knowing if I'm infected.

Lot of things make your dick itch, not just herpes. Very possible she gave you jock itch, which is an easily curable fungal infection.

Were you ever actually diagnosed?

Yeah, more fun facts about herpes:

> In a significant chunk of people, they have transmissible periods, but never show outward signs such as cold sores, and so never even know they have the disease

> Herpes tests are often very inaccurate unless you are able to come in when you have an active sore, which in some people occurs only once every few years

> Of the two types, Herpes 1 (which is usually thought of the less dangerous, 'cold sore on the lip' kind) is actually more dangerous: In (extremely rare) cases, it can spread to the eye, causing blindness, or even the brain, causing death. Herpes 2 (the more stigmatized STD) remains in the genitals.

At some point, you kind of have to accept that a shit ton of people have it and a shit ton of the people that have it don't even know about it, and what's more have no way of knowing. It's really just part of the reality of having sex, unfortunately. It could be a lot worse - after initial breakouts, in most people herpes goes away and only shows up every 1-3 years.

Correct "viral shedding "
Yet on. The other hand I've made out with someone with a cold sore and I'm clean.
Had an old hook up of mine get it from her ex, she wanted to fuck, lol nope.
Shame too, her tits were primo

If you were dumb enough to make out with someone with an active cold sore, chances are you aren't clean. You're more likely one of the people who has it but doesn't show active symptoms.
