1 in 6 confirmed cases or whatever. It could be more.
You'd be surprised at how many people don't check unless it's painfully obvious.

Would you date a girl who had genital herpes?

How the hell is public health a tangent?
STDs are a public health concern.
I read you as "fuck the world, me me me"

That's like, 90% of the population. Lots of people have the virus and never get outbreaks. Good luck.

Devo already quantified that. I believe it's the 7th stamp on your card, then you get a free meatball sub. Why that's a bad idea, I dunno. Meatball subs are amazing.

You seem like you need a hug or a cuddle or something. All I said was that you were shitting on the girls pretty heavy for a very, very common STD that, yes, isn't that big of a deal. And you insult me and try to portray me as a selfish person.
Tsk, tsk. I thought we were having a discussion here.

No because there are plenty of 10/10 girls out there with no diseases on their junk, the risk isn't worth it
Yet funny enough, you ignore his use of "males" in the same post...
This basically sums up my thoughts on the subject

But what about guys? Do we get something? I don't get around a lot. Can I get some vouchers, at least?

That just makes it even weirder.
No
Are you aware at just how annoying it is to have to deal with that? I have a female friend who got genital herpes from her new 28 year old something boyfriend, and she has to spend money on pills. He ofc never told her that he had this shit, classic move
And if one day they break up, she has that "nice" sweet memory from him, fantastic.

Yes of course he does.
I guess "female" is the disapproved word of the week.
If only I had known.....
That post is amazing lol
No it doesn't. Are we seriously getting to point where we can't use "male" and "female" anymore?

It's just weird dude. You're not identifying animals for Natgeo, you're talking to people. Don't need the pseudo intelligence in everything now, do we?
Did YOU even read the post he quoted? Where he quoted me and Devo and then tried to patronize us?
That's not the post he quoted...

I'll be sure to PM you specifics in the future, my man. Don't want people thinking you're awkward now.

The defensive female is an intriguing species. Surely one of the wonders of the natural world.
Whoops you're totally right. It wasn't the point I was addressing though. I'm not saying I agree with Dennis, I just don't think it's weird to use the words he used.

Don't worry. We've got defensive female expert Dennis here to educate us!
It is weird to quote two people and then patronize them with "defensive females".
It's not saying you can't use the word "females". It's Dennis's way of using it that is stupid.
Doesn't matter how they got it, whether it was by sleeping all over the place, or the first time they slept with someone.
I would not sleep with someone I knew had genital herpes.
Doesn't make them a slut or a whore or what have you. I simply wouldn't want to take the risk. I would date them, sure, but unless I was marrying that person, the risk will never be worth it.

I probably would and it's extremely likely that I already have.
Just be careful. Use protection and don't engage in oral sex. You'll be fine.

Where in my post did I say that public health is bad?
I see what you did there.

It's only worth it if she's a dream girl and you're going to be with her forever. The chances of you getting herpes are nontrivial. But the chance can be minimized and living with a rash is not really the worst thing ever.
Update your sarcasm detector.
What about cold sores on all those foreigners on the German team?
Hey OP! If she's a 10/10 for you (and I hope it's because of more than her appearance) and you feel comfy, why not go for it right?
Yeah, she's got herpes but like you said, medication and protection should do the trick. If you're apprehensive you'll still find a way to please eachother. It'll take a little time, but if you're convinced you'll get there. Relationships are give and take, and it's up to you to give her confidence in this particular case. Be careful, enjoy eachother.

small chance of transmitting genital herpes from the outset (~4% for a male, with variance) + condoms + suppressive therapy + basic precautions like avoiding sex during outbreaks + the preexisting prevalence of genital herpes (at least ~16% of the population, certainly more in actuality) + relatively trivial symptoms + there being many incredibly dateable people who happen to have genital herpes in the world = Yes, I think I would.
I mean, no doubt it would affect whatever sex life we had, but in general the stigma surrounding it is exaggerated. Such stigma can be useful for keeping a disease at bay, but that doesn't excuse how ignorant and thoughtlessly judgmental people tend to be about this subject (see: first post in this thread).

I think it's the other way around, actually. Due to the stigma, a lot of people with herpes are very reluctant to tell anyone they have it, especially potential sexual partners.
Yup. You should treat every single sex partner as positive for gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and AIDS until proven otherwise. Either protect yourself with a condom, make them get tested and show you the results, or decide you don't mind having those diseases and bareback it anyway.

I'd do it probably twice then move on.
