Struggling with life have herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dont be guilty: Herpes is a virus. Being exposed to a virus is akin to catching a cold. If everyone had a blood test for herpes, estimeates put it at 75% positive. Most don't know they have it. If you know you have the herpes virus & learn the symptoms, then sex w/ you is safer than w/ someone who doesn't know they have it. Always discuss w/ a partner before engagin in intimate contact.
