The above bullshit is the exact reason why this guy is doing this AMA.
As someone who is married to someone with herpes and does not have it themselves (I get tested regularly, we have been married a year and a half and been together over 4 years), I appreciate you doing this AMA. If I had let the social stigma of this very common condition freak me out, I would have never married the love of my life. She takes meds for it, when she gets outbreaks (it's very infrequent), we don't have sex during them, I don't get herpes. It's kinda like I wouldn't make out with someone while they have a cold sore on their mouth. But I wouldn't condemn them to a life of loneliness and judgement. I'd just hold off till the cold sore went away.
