Herpes?
LOL idk about new Curtis, but old Curtis’ dick was in 13th place on the GRM Highest Mileage Daily Rides list
Haaaa. If only that were true. These days I'm more concerned about dry rot.
You need to keep a good coat of mink oil on it.
I'm going to go to my doctor tomorrow and ask what brake pads are good for street driving with the occasional track day.
TJL said:I heard some statistic before about 1 in 4 adults had it? And i heard that many years ago. Not sure if that included HSV1 or 2.
this reminds me though of a guy i was working with who had a "cold sore" which required meds. I think i had asked him about a drink or i needed one, he offers me his, i of course say nah, no thanks. He comes back with something like "its ok, i dont have cooties" and he was totally serious.
Close, according to WebMD, 1 in 6 people in the U.S. age 14 to 49 have genital herpes…70% from HSV-2 – 30% from HSV-1. More women than men have it…1 in 5 Vs 1 in 9 respectively.
Hi Curtis,
On the up-side, this individual has demonstrated maturity, courage, and regard for your wellbeing…on the down side, for whatever reason, you don’t seem to be the settle down type so if you enter an intimate relationship with this person, there is a significant risk that you’ll be the one having a difficult conversation with future would be partners.
However, consider this, if you pass on this person, you stand a 20% chance of getting together with somebody else that has the same virus but doesn’t tell you either because they’re of lower integrity (likely) or because they honestly don’t know (less likely).
Curtis said:SVreX said:Type 1, or Type 2?
Type 1 is ridiculously common, and is not even considered an STD by many medical professionals (because it can be passed by casual contact, like drinking from the same cup). More than 50% of people have it (and some estimates are MUCH higher- like over 80%).
Have you been tested? Honestly, there’s a pretty good chance you have it already.
Yes. Discuss with your doctor.
I was tested prior to being intimate with Baltimore girl (2017-2018) as a mutual agreement. Since her, I've had sex once with a friend that I've known for many years and we had a very candid conversation. (see dry rot comment above. Stuff is slow these days, but I'm quite alright with that after losing Baltimore girl. That was a tough one.) I'm not sure what all they tested for, but we both tested positive for the cold sore type, whichever one that is. I can recall once getting a cold sore on my lip when I was a kid, maybe twice.
I've never had anything genital that presented itself with outward symptoms. Other than sweat. And a bee sting. Don't pee outside without checking for a yellow jacket nest in the ground. The swelling was impressive. Too bad I was too young to make the association. My history is pretty minimal, truth be told. I'm a long-term, connection kinda guy. I tend toward the types of interaction that have the trust to go with the thrust. I'm not much for random hookups.
Sounds like you’ve already got HSV-1. There is no cure.
It also sounds like you need to educate yourself a bit. If you don’t even know what you have, you certainly don’t know how to manage it.
Do yourself and your future lovers a favor, and do some studying. Then be as honest as this lady has been with you.
You should have been telling her in the same conversation she told you.
Acyclovir/valtrex keeps the virus tamped down and as near as I've been able to ascertain prevents outbreaks and transmission. If a partner has an outbreak they should wave off contact with the outbreak area for a few days until said flare up subsides.
Stress can make flare-ups more frequent but they also seem to become less frequent/severe with time.
I heart JG

The biggest side effect of herpes: Sores.
Not an STD I'd be too concerned about. Not even close to a deal breaker, where as something like HPV can lead to cancer, and other STDs have more... immediate results.
Stay UTD on your shots.
Curtis said:I might have found my next future ex girlfriend. ... Great friends... she has Herpes.
Even though you say you're joking, deep down, you might not be, when you say "future ex-girlfriend". 'Great friendships' that turn romantic/intimate have a tendency to destroy themselves. Then, not only do you have a broken heart, you've lost a great friend. On top of that, there's a strong risk of a lasting reminder of that failed relationship.

That is a paragraph's way to say "friendzone".

Well.... one of the things that could happen is um..... herpes. Is that the end of the world, probably not but I personally wouldn't want it to happen to me. She better be pretty berking special to play bumpy pecker roulette with. I like that she told you though, that's a good sign.
