this is why i’m scared of having sex. if you can still catch some s*** even while wearing a condom (which is uncomfortable for me), then wtf is the point of wearing one?
on another note, i’m in love w that avi @op
s***is always risky, the one thing lonely mfs have over man w****s is no STDs
yeah that’s the mouth one
Yea that’s the more common strain isn’t it or is it HSV2?
man this thread got me considering getting tested with any girl in the future before we have s**

you're too late, it's over
Good thread. Sensible OP.
Hope you update on progress bc I'm lowkey invested now. Wish you the best though, OP. I've got no advice in a situation as difficult as this. Only one is following your heart/will, and trust in it.

Goddam. Wtf
Thanks bro, and what's crazy is there's a much higher risk of unwanted pregnancy than catching an STD with a condom (15% chance). Really mind boggling if you think about it and makes me question everything with dating.
At the same time these are the risks I'll have to accept if I want to continue finding someone. Otherwise I'd have to abstain from s***and that s*** seems lame ngl.
You know there are some people who still pull out with a condom?
You can't risk a baby in Texas
Don't do this
What?

not a shot at lewinskysdress but this thread kinda made me realize how uninformed / reckless some mfs are, a couple of dudes in here "like this thread makes me think I should go get tested" or just straight up spreading misinformation
If your partner is on medication for it and you regularly get tested you'll be alright. Just throw a condom on. They also do have a medication that helps prevent it as well. It's one of those extremely common STIs and there are plenty of ways to treat it despite there not being a cure for it.
Surprised at the maturity in these first posts.
A sign of the end times for sure.

It's also (I think) only contagious during times of outbreaks and viral shedding if I remember correctly, said this earlier but I know somebody who had kids with someone with it and neither them nor the children had it

Me and her are in limited contact, going out as friends tomorrow. There’s a chance of rebound for a relationship, but we’ll see.

Right on, only during outbreaks/shedding. In my case with her, she probably sheds only around 3-4 days per year (1% rate). Incredibly low if you ask me tbh
