Fuck you Ryan
FP Edit: Wow guys. Thank you for the support, I don't feel like such a diseased freak anymore. I will try to respond to every single PM but there's more than 100 there.
Some things keep coming up that I want to clarify:
1. He was not a stranger. After the year of chatting it up we were together for 6 months. I traveled every month, met his family, coworkers, friends, etc... It was a normal, long distance relationship.
2. In the past year I've only had sex with him. According to my dr, you can have it for months and not show symptons.
3. Condoms don't work 100% of the time
Final Edit: Thanks to everybody for your support, Imgurians are amazing people. This is a throw away account and at first I thought I would just post and delete it but it seems like I've acquired and really nice support group through PM. Also, some dude posted this http://imgur.com/a/nBeLS Called him out on it and he somehow deleted all the comments. My name is Patty :/ Anyway, don't believe everything you read on the internet, even my sad story, and just be nice to people
XOXO, Patty

I've got herpes. Honestly, the social stigma is infinitely worse than the condition. So if you can just own it, you'll be absolutely fine

Herpes is awkward but in no way life threatening. He could have dropped you AIDS.

5po0ky
So he chatted with you for a year when he wasn't with his gf at the time. When they break up, he finally has you come out to bang. When he

realized he had herpes & knew he must've passed it on, he stops talking to avoid a very awkward conversation. Well, looks like you dodged a

Think you're talking about oral herpes, completely different from genital herpes that requires sex/sexual acts of touching down there.
LeganCarl
Fun fact, you can spread oral herpes sexually too
ChrisAndKelly
I know what you mean, you can be a virgin and have the herp. The stigma sucks.
milavena
No one understood the point I was making it was a good thing yet the children on here got offended for some reason lol I said nothing bad
LeganCarl
It's not that you said anything bad, it's that you said something wrong. You can get both types of hsv through sex
LeganCarl
They aren't completely different. They are the same virus, just different strains.
rudejohn
No - he was talking about genital (Simplex 1, ~20% of population), not oral (Simplex 2, ~67% of population).
milavena
He said he could see it on people in line at a store so unless they're naked with their genitalia exposed he was talking about oral.
LeganCarl
He didn't say he could see it. He said 2 people of 10 have it...thats called a statistic
LeganCarl
You've got this backwards, 1=oral 2=genital, but you're right on with the percentages
rudejohn
Whoops, you're right. My mind was moving faster than my fingers.
milavena
It's really not good to spread wrong info because they're so different. I had the oral kind when I was a kid before I so much as touched
milavena
A guy. I think I got it from my mom kissing me goodnight one night. Please don't spread that oral herpes is connected to a sexual act I was
milavena
Always so embarrassed as a teen when I'd get one on my lip worrying that other people thought it was the result of a sexual act.

All HPV buddy, they're the same.

cure for herpes could be kinda painful. they are trying to reactivate the dormant virus that hides in your body. bad as the first infection

I think around 60% or so have oral herpes, most people get that as a kid.
MissusSpareTire
In HSV-2, the infected person may have sores around the genitals or rectum. (3/3)
MissusSpareTire
Most commonly, herpes type 1 causes sores around the mouth and lips (sometimes called fever blisters or cold sores). (1/3)
MissusSpareTire
HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but most cases of genital herpes are caused by herpes type 2. (2/3)
JanetVanDyne
I have oral herpes, I got it as a kid. Can my boyfriend get herpes too if I kiss him or you know.. A bj?

I would talk to your doctor about it, I don't remember if it depends on if you're having a breakout or what. But oral can turn into genital

analogpursuits
PSA, if you want to get tested and don't have outbreak, ask for the Western Blot blood test. Is conclusive. Not standard in std tests. Ask!!
AtheistJoy
Exactly. The guy who gave it to me had a test a few weeks before but didn't know to ask for that. He waited for symptoms to go away..so...
AtheistJoy
He passed it to me because he didn't tell the doc what had been going on with his dingaling and therefore thought he was 'clean.'
analogpursuits
Yup. It's a shame that the standard std battery of tests does not include it. And people wonder why 1/4 of population has it. Sorry u got it
AtheistJoy
Thanks. It's been 15 years. It never really affects me now. It's just a hassle for dating--when to tell and all. Whatever.

And that is why we have oral sex. So we can check out the goods from close-up before fucking.

You can carry herpes without displaying symptoms.

Yes, bit if there are no sores the chance of contagion is much smaller.

Itchy73
You obviously don't know anything about it then.
KillingTheJoke6
Educate me then
raptorheyzues
So, 1 in 6 adults have herpes, of those that have it 4 in 5 don't know as they never show serious symptoms. Odds are, if you have sex 1/?
raptorheyzues
2/? often, you may have screwed someone with herpes and not known. It's simply a thing, not even that serious most of the time.
tinydragonfarts
I've been diagnosed for two years. Have been with my partner for a year. He still doesn't have it yet we fuck like crazy..
raptorheyzues
Probably because you're just a carrier and aren't experiencing any symptoms.
tinydragonfarts
I have had one ob. Literally three tiny bumps and then nothing. That's all it was.
raptorheyzues
Yeah, that's about what happens for some people. Hell, some don't even get that.
Nomopat
That's not how it works. You just have to be monitoring if you are going through active phase and not have sex during that time.
raptorheyzues
Actually, it can be. Many people with herpes can be asymptomatic, and simply never be aware of the disease. Obviously not all are.
classicrapeydolphin
I've had sex with two girls that have herpes. Just use a condom. I don't have herpes at all.
icookfoodandfightfire
yeah...condoms do do anything for herpes really. The skin around your junk is where its at mostly. But even then its only likely to transfer
icookfoodandfightfire
during an actual outbreak, not so much in between them
KillingTheJoke6
I get that... but there is a risk.
classicrapeydolphin
Then why cross the road or drive? Just be safe. I'm not trying to force that on you, but you can certainly be safe.
jonbristow
there are plenty of other safer roads
Spongybunny
Condoms don't protect you during an active outbreak, and most men don't show outward symptoms. You could have it, spread it, and not know.
Chrysanthiabellbat
Find someone that *wants* to Jace sex during an active outbreak. I bet that shit hurts
Meloncov
Not necessarily. Herpes outbreaks vary a ton in severity.
Iglumies
It does at first, but you get used to it. But it is not recommended to have sex while it is active
Tiggerthetig
Lol youre an idiot
classicrapeydolphin
Yes, safe sex is idiocy.
Iglumies
Don't have sex if you or your partner has an outbreak. Seriously, even with a condom, don't
MissAizea
I'm freaked out over mouth herpes, let alone genital
Leeloothedog
90% of adult Americans have it
IridescentPearlescentIncandescent
You must not have it or have newly acquired it and aren't used to dealing with any sort of ailment...
MissAizea
I don't have it, so when people act like cold sores are no big deal...
IridescentPearlescentIncandescent
How are they a big deal exactly..?Put some aciclovir on it and it'll go away pretty quickly They don't reoccur often in healthy individuals.
MissAizea
It's a lifelong disease, I'd rather avoid it
IridescentPearlescentIncandescent
Not genital kind.The first time you get it,u WILL need to take time off work and will have trouble going to toilet.Episodeimprove with time.
1point21gigawatm8
did you get SUPER herpes? wtf?! litterally a cold sore on your junk. they go away
IridescentPearlescentIncandescent
Count yourself lucky. A lot of people get it bad.
Thekingofbeans
That varies from person to person.

Hence why I mentioned a symptomatic episode. Some get none, some take time develop symptoms.
Thekingofbeans
No... my first outbreak burned but it was not debilitating in any way.

It is not about to be curable. The company is beginning phase 1 trials, not in America (so looser regulation) and not seeking FDA approval.1
lickwidghost
Wow you've done your research... Did you find a surprise recently by any chance? :p
waitwasthatreal
I'm a medical student. Herpes is on my final Friday, so I thought it was interesting enough to check out who is claiming a cure
waitwasthatreal
That not a good sign for a "working" cure. Also there are zero papers in pubmed about it. And their lead has no publications on cures in 2.
waitwasthatreal
General. None of these point to a likely cure.
UsernameAttempted
Curable or preventable?
ChrisAndKelly
Preventable. They are developing a vaccine. Because herpes is a virus.
vowofloudness
Curable. It triggers an immune response that is normally suppressed, so already-infected patients fight it off. Worked in phase 1 trials.
Chrissy4307
It's already preventable.
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
It's preventable by my method. Never having sex. *laugh, laugh, cry*

[deleted]
[deleted]
IridescentPearlescentIncandescent
It's not SUCH a big deal. It's worse in genitalia, but episodes improve and usually stop after the first episode.
vowofloudness
Lot of possible complications down the road though. Especially if you or someone you fuck might be pregnant someday.
IridescentPearlescentIncandescent
Not really. You may need to have a caesarean if you have symptoms in late pregnancy and take aciclovir. Nbd.
vowofloudness
If that doesn't sound like a big deal to you, and you're aware of the other potential complications, then by all means enjoy responsibly.
Thekingofbeans
Actually the misinformation being spread is what causes people to freak out about it.
