I'm a little confused by the bump post - does she have herpes or hpv? They're two different things. Herpes is abbreviated to HSV.
That confused me too. They are very different things. The chances of getting HPV at some point in your life are very high. It shouldn't even be a concern. If either of you have it you will most likely not know.I'm a little confused by the bump post - does she have herpes or hpv? They're two different things. Herpes is abbreviated to HSV.
Sorry for the bump, but
You will never get it. When she has it, she will let you know, usually takes a couple of days. You can also have kids without the kids getting it. Just get informed, don't let a good girl walk because of something as silly as that. Beside its not her fault that asshole she trusted was walking STD.
Sorry for the bump, but I just had this very situation come up with me.
We have been dating for about a month, and she disclosed to me that her ex gave her HPV-2 after cheating on her with one of his ex's. She gave me a Planned Parenthood booklet on herpes. She was so scared and embarrassed telling me. She said that her parents don't even know about her STD. I give her huge respect points for telling me this before we start becoming sexually active with each other. She said she completely understood if I wanted to breakup right then, and would rather it end now than get too attached and have the breakup hurt even more later.
I'm honestly shocked by the amount of fear in this topic. Yea, STDs are no fun, but the statistics and medical recommendations don't make HPV sound too terrible. I get the impression that this is a situation where the realty isn't as bad has the public perception. People in the field know the facts and aren't overly concerned, but people not in the know are irrationally scared.
I'm reading up on the virus and seeking opinions, but I don't see this being a deal breaker. I think I will suggest that we go see a doctor together to discuss our options and maybe both get screened. She will be my 4th sexual partner, and as far as I know, I do not have herpes, but like others have said, I may very well have it too but I'm just unaware of it.

How old are you and is this gonna be your last sexual partner?
Damn, dude. Kudos to you for having the strength to make that work.My wife got it from his ex-husband who unfortunately cheated on her, but she knows when it's raging and when it's not. It's very embarrassing to her but I have supported her throughout. We've been married for 6 years now and I'm still STD free.
You can still be with her as long as she cares about you enough to know when to prevent it from spreading.

Implying that he won't have sex again if he has herpes? Do you know how many people unknowingly have STDs and continue to have sex?

Fuck no.
Asking what are expectations from this relationship and how willing he is to communicate this to future partners, calm down.Implying that he won't have sex again if he has herpes? Do you know how many people unknowingly have STDs and continue to have sex?
So I met this girl. She's 10/10, really fun and smart. A few dates in - before we had sex - she tells me she has genital herpes.
With her taking suppressive medication and me using protection the risk of transmission is very small. But I'm in my early 20s, and the thought of having this same awkward conversation with my future sexual partners makes me uncomfortable.
Would you risk it?

I have a very good outlook on this relationship. I'm not the type of guy that dates around a lot and I sure don't sleep around. I'm 30 and if I proceed with this new girl, then she will be my 4th "girlfriend" and 4th sexual partner. I am interested in settling down and starting a family. I have no problem disclosing a possible STD to a future partner should this one fail and result in be contracting her herpes.
Fuck no. If she got an STD, she likely got it from sleeping around. Don't ruin your life and put one girl on a pedestal, the fact you are already thinking about your next partners says it all.
You will never get it. When she has it, she will let you know, usually takes a couple of days. You can also have kids without the kids getting it. Just get informed, don't let a good girl walk because of something as silly as that. Beside its not her fault that asshole she trusted was walking STD.
Calling a girl 10./10 means shes really the first 5+/10 that said yes
Its not worth it man. Its sad for her honestly because this will stain her in every relationship.
The risk isnt worth it.
LOL it's silly. The people I know with herpes caught it in less than 3 partners. They got it from poor sex education, not promiscuity.It's amazing to me that people still think STD's only happen to people that sleep around.
Even if its not that bad as people say to live with, dealing with it at all just does not sound worth it. Think about that decision for a long time, because most people will be nowhere near as rational as the people in this thread have been. And, if this girl ends up not being the one, are you the 10/10 guy who a girl is willing to risk herpes for too? Not to be rude but chances are, you're not.
