Oral herpes effect 50-80% of Americans knowingly or unknowingly and like 10% have genital herpes. Its really really common and more of a stigma than a real health concern.

don’t we all

Ktt2 has ruined my mind

Herpes is a little league STD bro don’t worry about it. Just make sure she’s always adhering to her med recs and avoid intercourse during outbreaks.

At the end of the day even if you do get it as well it’s nothing more than a minor inconvenience. S*** ain’t gonna kill you.

I wouldn’t say it’s worth it unless you finna have kiddos or planning on that being your long term partner ,

Not everybody is giving or receiving head.

Who cares with this one specifically I slept with a girl on and off throughout college who got it (she was r***d and got it) but I just used condoms

This one really isn't a big deal at the end of the day but those who have it deal with huge mental pain from feeling like garbage from having it.

Whatever you decide please be tasteful in how you talk to her about it.

Exactly what I'm saying

This is a stigma - op pls just be kind about this issue to her

If you really vibing, and you serious with each other, just take precautions. It might not be an easy road, but it's up to you to decide if it's worth it.

Little League STD is a crazy line

F*** that s*** man just find another girl

this is a bar

STD's not real @op

Go take some sea moss

It’s not that big of a deal if she’s taking care of it, even without medication the chances of transmission are low but as always be safe

No right answers, follow your gut

It’s been incredibly difficult on her mentally, and feels like my decision on whether to continue with her is hinged on this. In addition, I feel quite bad for whoever has to deal with this condition given how much it limits your dating options.

If I catch this, chances are I’ll be fine symptom-wise (Heard it’s asymptomatic in most guys). Scariest part is in addition if the relationship fails, then being alone forever could very well be a reality.

If you think it’s gonna affect future relationships

really made me lol with this 1

how can you feel she is 'like no other' if your dating life is 'nonexistent'?

disgusting, she deserves the boot asap.

Idk, probably just talking out of my ass

Not worth it imo.

You risk getting herpes, and you have to use a condom on your girlfriend which sounds awful. There’s plenty of women who don’t have it.

This thread reminded me I should get tested
