The UW Gives You Another Reason to Use a Condom

• I don't able to understand what you want to share. But i know this if you have sex with genital herpes symptoms then there are chances of spreading this disease to other person with whom you are having sex.

• I don't get it. what are you saying, that people who have genital herpes still have sex? yeah, that's 20% of all human beings - of course they still have sex. do you think they just drop off the face of the earth? with honesty and reasonable precautions it is very unlikely to be transmitted. (but if you mean that these people are not telling partners about it, or are ignoring their symptoms, yeah that's not cool.) Also, type 1 genital herpes is frequently spread during oral by people who have the common cold sore virus on their mouths - which most people do, even if they've never gotten a cold sore in their lives. i doubt anyone uses condoms for oral. i just get annoyed with these vague and misleading blurbs about herpes. it is very, very common, most who have it are completely asymptomatic, and doctors don't even include it in STD testing. so 1 in 5 people are walking around with type 2 and well more than half with type 1, with absolutely no idea. and thank goodness, no one is dying because of it. the stigma is outdated and unrealistic.

• Condoms don't always cover the sores and you can get it anyway.
