The modes and likelyhood mean nothing when the question is “what % of the ove- all population has one form or the other?” That was the question, and that’s what I answered. And, I didn’t ignore “the oral/genital herpes overlap” as here is my qords “So- that’s up to 80% has Herpes I, and 20% has Herpes II. Of course, there’s overlap, but still, that qualifies as “most” in anyones book.”. Even if the overlap is 90%, it’s still “most”.
And do note my quote “# Most people contract oral herpes when they are children by receiving a kiss from a friend or relative.”
I have herpes and the guy tht gave me it says he dnt have it but I no he does bc I only slept w him in 5 yrs so I get emotional about it bc I want out of our relationship but who is ever guna want me?
I know it’s a zombie but while I agree with what the OP said, it’s unlikely anyone is going to change their behavior the way he wishes. If somebody wasn’t responsible enough to use a condom before they caught herpes, why would they start using one after they caught herpes? At that point, they’ve already suffered the consequences of being irresponsible - using a condom now won’t undo the herpes. And anyone who wasn’t concerned about protecting themselves isn’t going to worry too much about protecting other people.
You know the one I can’t understand? IV drug users that share syringes, what in the FOOK?!
There are websites online that sell hundred packs for cheap, they ask for no info except your CC#.
And any pharmacist that has ever denied someone syringes thinking they were doing good should be prosecuted, imagine if they asked for a marriage cert before selling condoms.
How do you decide which words to shorten, and which to spell completely?
I’m a grammar nut, but not a scholar, that’s why I always use an apostrophe when I write the word “ain’t”.
IV drug users who have credit cards probably do not share needles. It’s the ten heroin addicts living in a tiny apartment in the crackhead part of town who share needles.
Sympathetically, I will offer this point: having herpes is a bummer, but it does not make you unwantable. You needn’t stay in your relationship just because you think it would be impossible for anyone else to ever be interested in you.
(Or is the word “empathetically”? I can never get them straight. Anyway, I meant “kindly”; I’m afraid I’m not speaking from personal experience. But again, my sense of the world is that herpes is not nearly the sentence to a life of loneliness and categorical rejection that you are worried it is.)
