Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Same thing different taste

You need to have a chat with your partner because you don't just wake up with herpes.

What's the difference between Love and Herpes? Herpes lasts forever.

well shit

Maybe you should keep your legs closed. Less STI's

Oh **** off. For all we know OP is married or something. Who said she was the one getting around?

Well, on the bright side, at least you don't have a yeast infection.

should have used protection and asked your last partner about if they had an infection or not.

Condoms do not protect you from herpes.

Sometimes people don't know they carry it cause they never show symptoms...

Well YDI for not protecting yourself... But yes that also sucks

you can still get it even if the person is wearing a condom. get your facts straight.

Happy Canada Day

You may only ever have one outbreak but of course the virus will always be with you. Avoid foods containing arginine, and take lysine supplements. Argentine exacerbates herpes infections, but lysine counteracts it. Chocolate, oranges, nuts - go easy on all these. And no, I don't have herpes.

Don't feel bad, because according to projectaccept.org, Around 75% of Americans carry HSV 1 or HSV 2 somewhere on their body.  

What if he/she doesn't know what partner.
