Met her in an online dating site in 2014, what started as a fling grew to a true friendship. She was there when I was in my down phases and made feel just a little bit like an actual person instead of a complete failure. Recently (like, today) she revealed she had cold sores off and on as a child.


What would YOU do? I was really looking forward to meeting her again.

Wouldn't say 3 years is a long time, and I don't see the point in explaining it.

I mean, a lot of people are infected with herpes, even though they may not realize it. Similar to HPV.

Everyone is at risk for oral herpes from HSV-1. In fact, studies suggest that by adolescence, 62% of Americans are infected with HSV-1. By the time people are in their 60s, up to 85% have been infected.

Decent odds TC has HSV-1 already and doesn't know. Really isn't a big deal.

that's why you wrap it up and don't kiss / go down unless it's someone you trust who has test results to show you

nah fam, that's insane. wrap it up and don't do anything oral unless they have test results to prove they're clean. fuck that noise. that's just people with stds trying to normalize it because of their own bad decisions.

I've been tested. I don't remember all the stuff that they test for, CDC doesn't recommend everyone get tested for HSV-1 or -2, pretty much only symptomatic and at risk, depending on your specific profile. So its possible I haven't been tested specifically for HSV-1, I've been clean each time.

idk dude, even if there's currently no known risks or side effects besides some cold sores every once in a while, that shit is disgusting and you should get tested.

not worth sleeping with someone who might have it. maybe that's my tune because i'm 100% clean, but good LAWD am i gonna keep it that way if i'll be damned.
