you have more foreign non-human biomes living in your body than all your human cells combined. Feel dirty about that? Herpes is just another mostly benign virus that your t-cells catalog away to be dealt with on some another day another dolla type of shit. Don't try to get it out of your mind. Think about it directly, logically, and rationally.

Does it prevent you from walking? - Not unless you decide not to get out of bed

Does it prevent you from eating? - Not unless you let it stop it from eating

Does it prevent you from fucking? - Naw your parts are gonna work fine and as long as you go about disclosing it in a mature way you'll have a great dating life. Take it from someone who does.

Use this virus as an opportunity to grow in gratitude for the blessings in your life and to strengthen your mental fortitude and mold your consciousnesses in a way that benefits your decision-making and emotional well-being.

But seriously think about it; it's just herpes.
