sorry about this. but some comments here have been incorrect (not that its their fault, they couls be misinformed). you can get it by heritage (so ask youre mum or dad if they have it), you cant get it from a toilet seat (it needs a host, as others have said) and it cant be cured, you can treat it and stop an outbreak, but outbreaks will occur for the rest of your life. sorry.

Well when you get one STD there's only one thing left to do: play a round of pokemon "gotta catch 'em all"

You can still get herpes from anal ..

Liaaaarrrr

Man reading this shit and all the comments got me scared . Too many bitches got rabies!!!

It's unlikely, but very possible you inherited it from one of your parents, OP. Flare ups don't necessarily happen immediately, or so I have heard. It is also possible you got it from another source, but who knows. This is one of those few FMLs that is truly worthy of a 'FYL', because. . Truly, your life is partially ******. Sorry OP! D:

I'm sorry.. I really am.. Things will be okay, they somehow always do..

It's gotta start somewhere

If he/she says they're a virgin, then they're a virgin. Who are you to tell him/her what he/she is? You don't his/her sex life. Oral counts as sex; as too, does anal. Therefore, he/she probably got herpes from their parents. Stop trying to bring him/her down more by making him/her out to be a liar. I have the deepest sympathies for you OP. Maybe one day there will be a cure, and you can be free again!

Whut?! The Immaculate Infection..?
