Girl admitting to have herpes

[scotties]

I think I have it, I used to get those bumps on my upper lips and they feel tingly to the touch. Supposedly this is one of the symptoms. My mom and sis seems t to have cold sores too. I did quite abit of research about this and it does seem to be very common, something like 1/2 people will have it at my age so if I don't already have it-i'll get it eventually anyway.

But still though... just hearing the word herpes makes you run (evident by some of the post on here) without really do any research on it. Am willing to bet most of us on here has it. Question is if most of it have it, does it justified getting it yourself over some girl?

I basically approach this issue like this:

1) herpes 1 + 2 is an extremely prevalent and easily transferable virus. It can not be treated with current medication (removal of it).

2) Herpes normally is harmless with the occasional breakout

Therefore, if you get it, think nothing of it.

For those who advocate meds, its frankly BS. I mean if the meds you are supposed to take only suppress symptons but you feel morally obligated to disclose your condition, your not really doing anything about it except spending more $$$ a month for feeling 'good'. If the meds start to actually detain/rid of the virus, then its in your best interest to get it. But dont go wasting your money if your planning to reveal your condition to your partner.
