I can't believe 1 in 5 adults have Genital Herpes.

I've heard most people don't know they have it because they don't display symptoms.

you can get herpes from your mother during birth i think.....(depending on the status if your mother)

BEWARE BEFORE LOOKING AT PIC 4. That is some flat out nasty nasty looking shit. Burning you should have put a warning above that shit it will haunt me.

A friend of mine got out of a long term relationship and got involved with a chick for a few months. He really fell for her and after a while she just disappeared out of his life. He got in touch w/her and she explained that she'd met the man of her dreams. He found out a few weeks later that she had given him herpes.

He one again got ahold of her to let her know because he was really upset and figured she would be too-- but she explained at that point that she'd known for 6 freaking years. So she was running around fucking people and not telling them. No wonder so many people have stuff like that.

It totally sucks for him too. I can't imagine. It's generally not sympomatic but can you imagine having to tell everyone you get involved with something like that?? It makes me glad to be in a monogamous relationship.

She wouldn't be running around for long, I'd kill the bitch.

Im pretty sure, they found out there is no simplex 1 or 2 now, just the same strain

There ya go. If there wasn't such a stigma attached to herpes, it wouldn't be such an issue. This is not directed at anyone, but you illustrated my point well so I quoted you.

even more disturbing is that 1 in 3 have HPV (Genital warts)

The field is narrowing and I'm still not in any of those groups thank God!
