School Outbreak

[Yookiwooki]

At my school, there are rumors of an outbreak of herpes. It happened upon one of the most popular guys at school, and naturally he and his friends were having sex with every popular/attractive girl in the school all summer.

So now in my school, a good chunk of the attractive girls are very likely infected. I need to be extra careful now.

I've done a tiny bit of reasearch on herpes. It sounds like it can spread like crazy. I've even read that one of the reasons genital and oral herpes spread is because sometimes they don't betray any symptoms at all.


Will making out with someone who has herpes definetly give you herpes?

If you're at a party and you share a drink with an infected person, is it likely that you will become infected?

Whats a tell-tale sign that someone has herpes? Is there one?

Is it possible to have safe sex using protection with someone who has herpes?

That sucks man, I know the past senior class at my school had some problems with stds, it didnt really get into my grade.

Look this up in the internet. It will take like 5 minutes. Im sure theres hundreds of sites that of been made to inform people of herpes.

I have it.

I got it from my current g/f, and only after several months of having sex with her exclusively. The symptoms - it was like a set of pimples that didn't "pop", that scab over and go away after a week or two. Physically - It is not the end of the world, however emotionally it totally affects game b/c you know in the back of your mind that you eventually have to have "the talk."

Looking back I did get a warning sign - I broke out with a burning sensation a few months before I was officially diagnosed. I went to the doc and he told me it was just a rash and not herpes, however now I tend to believe that it was.

"Wrapping it" may or may not prevent infection, in my case I caught it in the pubic area.

My advice is to heed any warning signs, discuss this with your parents too see your doc and lit him/her know that you are active.

That sucks, man. Be super careful, even if it means NOT boning chicks. You do not want to get the herps.

Getting the herps will disqualify you as a suitor for other girls. They will view you as "tainted" and "unsafe." Sad but true. :sad:
