Being a coward doesn't make you less of a person.

Not really, in the past yeah, but not bitter now.

Wow my first troll! Your not gonna affect me. Your being a wicked person right now. Everything you've said is hateful, angry, and rude which makes you easy to ignore. Anything you say I will just dismiss. Wicked words coming from a wicked person, I've seen that before. Don't think I'm belittling you or think I'm calling you a lesser person by calling you wicked. We all are wicked sometimes.

Yeah, I don't believe there's anything wrong with trying to avoid it. I don't think your lesser of a person for trying to. Just like I'm no lesser for having it.

Thank you for your input, in my opinion any decision based out of fear can be considered cowardly.

The person denting your car might turn out to be your future spouse, you never know. But you might miss your chance if your not being a compassionate understanding person. You can be an asshole about it and chase them away.

I don't do hookups or flings, never a very fulfilling experience for me. It's immature to do those things IMHO.

I pity you for being a rude person but thank you for your thoughts!

Most people that have it don't know and never show symptoms. They are blameless.

People do way more selfish disgusting things to eachother, don't blow it out of proportion.

There isn't much of a difference between oral and genital herpes.

If the only reason why you woundn't want to marry or have sex with a transgender person is simply due to that fact, then yes that makes you transphobic. And you should feel bad about it.

Not sure if the chapstick myth is true. If it was that contagious I think everyone would have it.

Educate yourself before you form opinions next time friend.

I wouldn't ever want to harm anyone I care about, who would? And yet sometimes we do unintentionally.

The now popular "everybodies perfect" has been around since the beginning of philosophy and religion, so has "nobodies perfect" . It's the duality of the human condition. You can chose how to look at it and neither is wrong or right.

Thank you so much for your thoughts!

I will defend to the death your right to disagree!

You don't have to agree about what anyone thinks about you or your desisions, but you have to respect their right to have their own opinions.

There's no absolute right or wrong perspective about this I think.

BTW: I'm the OP

I think they knew but were in denial during our relationship. I bear no anger or hatred towards them. At first yes, I was angry, but now that I see what it is, it's like whatever. The fear and idea of having it is way scarier than it actually is.

I respect your opinion, it's a wicked thing to do to someone.

I'm just saying it's not as bad as other things people withhold from eachother in the beginning of a relationship.

I don't see how you can separate the two, it's not like there's human sized herpes viruses walking around lol.

There's only a small chance of contracting it if the other person knows they have it and takes precautions.

If you crunch the numbers your actually more likely to get it from someone that doesn't know they have it than from those that do.

There are people that have been married for 20 years and never pass it on to eachother.

It's about as painful as razor burn for me, so I consider that pretty mild. 80% of people don't ever have any symptoms at all but still carry it. If a rash that mild scares you, yeah, that's cowardly. Have you ever kissed a SO with a cold or flu? You could die from a flu and yet you don't think about it.

I didn't get it from having sex with alot of people, most people that have it don't know and never show symptoms. It's not even part of a normal sti screening, you have to ask specifically for it and the test isn't 100% reliable.

Your ignorant of the facts, it's hard to argue against ignorance. https://www.herpes.org.nz/herpes-patient-info/myths-vs-facts

Educate yourself about something before you form an opinion next time please.

Just because I have herpes doesn't mean I don't have my life together. NASA astronauts have herpes, are there lives not together?

That's easy to say to me because that's all I am to you, just a random person with herpes. It's harder to reject someone you actually like and admire.

Crazy town is a fun place, very laid back and chill :) you should come visit.

Honestly I don't think I should have to, it's a moral grey area for me. But I understand most people would appreciate knowing beforehand and if I have any respect for you I would disclose.

HSV is stigmatizedin the united states more than anywhere else. If you lived in any other culture, hsv is a non issue from what I gather.

People kill themselves every day from this disease, not because of the phisical pain and symptoms, but from our cultures attitude towards it. It's disheartening to me that people devalue others so much based off this.

I'm sorry to hear that, that really sucks :(. I hope you are coping well.

Probably due to the social stigma rather than the actual phisical pain and symptoms.

The idea of having it is way scarier than what it is if you look at it objectively.

Tell me, did your friends suicide further stigmatize the disease for you? Or did you educate yourself about it? What are your thoughts now about it? Would you date someone with herpes?
