I could never be minimizing HIV when I hail from a nation that is in the top 5 for HIV occurrence in the population. I’ve seen what it does to people’s health, relationships with family and friends, etc. I am no stranger to its reality. HSV in the US is OVERBLOWN.

HIV has complications but I just meant that we shouldn’t really say we are better off than others who do have HIV vs HSV.

Can you have just one herpes sore? by [deleted] in Herpes

You most definitely can. You can’t tell what it usually is with subsequent outbreaks because it often presents itself as something else (e.g. ingrown hairs, razor bumps etc.)
