Honestly, would you date a girl if they told you they had genital herpes?!


Question: Honestly, would you date a girl if they told you they had genital herpes.?
I don't have genital herpes but I'm just curious how many of you would really date a girl (or continue dating to a sexual relationship) after they told you they had herpes.

I know people with genital herpes aren't lepers but I just find it surprising and almost fascinating that people with it seem to downplay it's contagiousness even more lately. Especially in yahoo answers, there's always someone with herpes giving a blanket answer to a concerned question.

And please spare me the "if you really love him/her then you shouldn't mind or care" I mean seriously, what kind of answer is that.? So dating someone with herpes should measure up or be pressured to the seriousness of love.? That's wrong.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I agree with you that people with herpes downplay it. They probably suffer emotionally from the stigma that comes with it so it's easier to convince themselves that it's no big deal. The fact is, it's a highly contagious (skin to skin), there's no cure, and it's a lifelong disease.

I wouldn't date anyone with herpes because I'd just want to avoid a sexual relationship altogether. My cousin's boyfriend has genital herpes and he took valtrex, wore a condom every time, and even wore boxers while they had sex to protect her and yet she still got it!Health Question & Answer

wow im amazed at some of these answers. U know what that would of been me 6 months ago saying no i wouldnt do anything with them.

I was diagnosed with herpes type 2 this past weekend. If the person takes valtrex and dont have outbreaks its very hard to catch that way and they wear a condom there is a small chance.

Now if someone were to ask me this question now i would say yes i would knowing the consequences.Health Question & Answer

i would and i'd be very careful, especially when it comes to having sexual relations with her, need to make sure she doesn't have any active sores or burning pain before i venture in thereHealth Question & Answer

Are you kidding.? It's actually a bonus...

Those little bumps are like pleasure nubs... caressing... massaging...um... nevermind...lolHealth Question & Answer

I wouldn't even talk to her if I knew. Why would anybody want to take a chance on herpes.? I think there are clubs to join where people can meet other herpes carriers.Health Question & Answer
