    I got HSV-2 after my longtime partner cheated on me, and it’s absolutely miserable. I wouldn’t recommend anyone take it as lightly as some people do. During the first outbreak I couldn’t pee at all because it was blocking my urinary tract, and it felt like I had a horrible flu. I get outbreaks constantly and they’re so painful that it’s hard to sit at my computer at work. The daily pills are massive and give me a stomach ache, and only reduce the frequency of the outbreaks but don’t prevent them entirely.

    I never asked for this, I was never promiscuous, I only did not use protection because we were in a monogamous relationship for 4 years. Dating is hard enough because I’m trans and ugly, so I’ve resigned myself to just never having sex again.

    Pretty sure there are sites specifically for and sites that have filters for people who have certain STDs (HSV1, HSV2, AIDS, etc.) so affected people can still get together without worrying about spreading diseases.

    I forget which one it is, but even one of the mainstream sites had an option for this years ago when I was dating. OK Cupid? Plenty of Fish? I think it might’ve been one of those.

    Literally ⅔ of all humanity has at least one type of HSV. It is not the end of the world.

        The important and nastiest part of HSV is some strains cause cervical cancer in women, so men with HSV must take care not to spread something that has the potential to kill their partner. There is a vaccine, but it doesn’t work 100%.

            Well, yeah, I seem to mess them up - HPV is the one with vaccine, HPS is similar in that it can be a cause of cervical cancer, but the matter is less researched and I don’t know about a vaccine.

            Indeed, the cancer thing applies to women with HPV, a virus that most people have also been affected with (though the vast majority of cases do not lead to cancer which still leaves tens of million of women at risk).

          Huh, either I dont know I have it or I got lucky. Thats crazy. I imagine an STD test would pick up HSV-2 but I wonder if it also picks up the oral variant. Ive never actually noticed any symptoms on myself. This is actually crazy though I didnt know this, I feel like more people should. TIL lol

            No one tests for HSV1 ever unless you have a bad active outbreak.

            https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK47447/

            Worldwide, ∼90% of people have one or both viruses. HSV-1 is the more prevalent virus, with 65% of persons in the United States having antibodies to HSV-1 (Xu et al., 2002). The epidemiology in Europe is similar, with at least half of the population seropositive for HSV-1. In the developing world, HSV-1 is almost universal, and usually acquired from intimate contact with family in early childhood

            2/3 of the population UNDER 50 have some form of HSV, but virtually every person autopsied that died over the age of 60 will have HSV-1. It’s THAT common. That’s why they don’t test.

            I got tested once and the doctor told me testing for herpes is pointless because most everyone has the antibodies in their body due to how common it is. The test gives false positives most of the time.

            You can totally also be asymptomatic for your whole life and not know it. It is also useful to know that “oral herpes” doesn’t exclusively affect your mouth, and “genital herpes” doesn’t exclusively affect your genitals. Just more often. Both types can appear in both locations. The hypothetical person from the greentext would likely have contracted oral herpes. I’m not sure how that works with STD tests, though.

            In my experience most standard STD panels will test for HSV-2 but not 1, usually you’d have to special request it

              And even when you ask about it, your doc will probably say that the test isn’t worth doing because of how common HSV is and how inaccurate the test is.

        I’m not. The site was running on old software a decade ago and hasn’t been touched. I’d be surprised if they don’t swipe another chan software and just slapped a coat of paint on it, but I don’t expect them to be rushing to get the site back online after they got entirely rinsed.

          You can’t get it multiple times from the same partner unless it’s hsv-1,and even then it’s rare after you’ve built up a resistance to the virus and they’d need to be in an active outbreak.

          But yes, you can migrate the location of hsv1, the most common herpes type (incorrectly referred to as oral herpes). You want to be especially careful if it migrates to your facial area beyond your mouth/lips as occular herpes can cause blindness, and if it spreads to your nose and brain, there’s a real chance you could die.

          These are rare in first world countries though and are typically seen in places without access to clean water and sanitation.

      If they don’t have a sore, they aren’t infectious, but frankly, if this isn’t something she tells you before it gets intimate, that’s a red flag in my book. One of my exes had HSV and she disclosed everything to me beforehand. I kinda freaked out internally at first and considered breaking it off, but then I actually researched it and found out there’s not a risk if they’re not having a breakout (still use protection of course).

      Things didn’t work out because of other reasons, but it was a pretty good relationship while it lasted and I don’t regret it. I still have a clean bill of health, no infections so if you meet someone that has HSV, try to keep in mind it doesn’t necessarily have to be a deal breaker as long as your partner is honest with you and you take precautions.
