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.

If someone passed on genital warts to you, when would you notice them?05.01.10

Would they appear shortly after or years later? Also do they get worse or stay in just one spot?

Is it possible that my partner will never ACTUALLY develop genital warts if I have them?04.29.10

Just found out I have them and Im devastated.

The worst is knowing I might have given it to my partner. Weve been sexually active without protection for 6 months.
My question is, is it POSSIBLE, that he might not EVER ACTUALLY develop genital warts even if he has the virus??

Please Help….comfort me…
