herpes

Herpes is an STD that can't be cured. You don't have to be a whore to get them, it's a possibility to get them because your current boyfriend (or girlfriend) once dated and married a whore that would get pissed at you cause she thinks The Who song Baba O'Riley is actually called Teenage Wasteland and leave you for a few months, sleep with another guy, or twelve, and come back to you and deny ever having something. Then when someone innocent comes along, he doesn't mention anything about it until it's too late. Yes the disease is hard to deal with emotionally at first but you learn to get over it and you can always take medicine to prevent an outbreak or instantly take it away if you start to get one and it will also prevent from passing it on. And it usually makes you feel that you're either stuck with the person you're with or you can't ever have sex with anyone else cause you don't want them to know or you don't want to pass it on. Outbreaks hurt like hell, sometimes so bad you can't even walk. Some people may only have one outbreak, possibly none and never know they have it. Be sure that if you're about to sleep with someone, check to see that person has any red bumps that don't look normal and are sensitive, or red scab that is probably peeling a layer of skin, it's most likely herpes. If you already do have them, just remember that you're not alone and there's a lot more people that have them than you think.

An STD which people are incredibly ignorant about.

1 in 5 American adults have genital herpes, and 80% of those are not even aware of it. This means that you don't have to be a slut to have herpes! Everyone is at risk, and all it takes is one enounter to get it. You can even get it if you use a condom, because it is spread from skin-to-skin contact as opposed to through body fluids.

Cold sores (which is oral herpes) + oral sex = potential genital herpes. 80% of people have oral herpes. You do the math.

It is a very mild disease, just a minor skin condition. I can't blame anyone for wanting to protect themselves from it, but it is blown waaay out of proportion in society. It's not AIDS or cancer, for fuck's sake.

Although there is no cure for herpes, infected people can have a hard time with it because of the unfair stigma that is attached to herpes in our society.

the gift that keeps on giving

A sexually transmitted disease contracted by those whose sexual arousal has taken over their nerve cells, therefore forgetting to use a condom. And since nowadays according to close-minded non-intellectuals, (which make up about 63% of the population) being a virgin makes you a "loser", we have people with Herpes lying around all over the place. Just remember everyone: No glove, no love.

Virus that affects either the genitilla or the Mouth. Usually visible in the mouth by red sores on the gums or lips. With the lips it is Simplex 1, if it affects the genitillia as well it is simplex 2. On a vagina it looks like red sores and on a penis its red sores pretty well everywhere.
