What if you wanted to get to know somebody, but you dont want to give them genital hpv?05.29.10

I believe the person has a right to know right from the beginning, so that if they feel they cant handle that, they can walk away there, it seems like a total burden and the stereotypes do guarantee about 95% rejection, so it seems like my only other option would be dont tell them, is this wrong?

Can I give MYSELF genital herpes if I already have oral herpes?05.27.10

I have been infected with oral herpes for about 4 months. Recently I was in the bathroom and had a finger in my mouth and then, without thinking, touched myself down below (WAY down, like actually inside the vagina). Could I have spread the oral herpes to my genitals, or is 4 months long enough to build up immunity and keep myself from re-catching it?

By me having cold sores does that mean I can give my partner genital herpes by performing oral sex?05.24.10

Three years ago, I got cold sores through my step daughter and I had them ever since. What I wanted to know is since I have it can I give my partner genital herpes without having an outbreak, or could he give me genital herpes by kissing me and performing oral sex?

If you get cold sores, do you tell partners that you could give then genital herpes if you give them oral sex?05.01.10

If not, do you think that someone who has genital herpes should inform partners before having sex with them?

I have genital herpes hsv-1, the same virus that causes cold sores on the mouth. People who have oral hsv-1 are actually 5 times more infectious than me, and if they give oral sex are putting their partners at 5x the risk I am if I have unprotected sex with someone.

So bearing this in mind, do you think the stigma placed on genital hsv-1 is fair, and would you expect someone that has the virus genitally to behave any differently than someone who has it orally? Why does one have a ‘moral responsibility’ while the other does not?
Truth Hurts, I agree with you. The point I am trying to make is why should my genital hsv-1 be treated differently to my partner’s oral hsv-1? It just feels so unfair that my infection is stigmatised and his isn’t.
