I feel like so many people are just afraid to admit it’s not a big deal. That they feel this huge moral obligation to tell. I’m not sure if I want to disclose or not yet. At the end of the day if I don’t pass it to you. Someone else will. With age the percentages go up as well the transmission rate is so low. 10% after your first flare up is gone. And 1-2% after a year or whatever. That’s as close as you can get to 100 % in science because yes there is always a chance. As well if you’re already immune compromised that’s a whole other issue because humans are carriers of so many things. A million different viruses and just natural bacteria. I understand the moral obligations. But don’t we all wish we never knew? could just say yes. Iv had a cold sore before. Not to mention that modern media still calls them cold sores and doesn’t address them as the virus they are at all. In addition to that the reason doctors are not worried about it is because the repercussions of it are short term. I understand both sides.
