Happiness is only real when shared. Or is that Herpes?

Come on man!!!!!!! They are right you can sue her. Never be that horny man.

Unfortunately herpes can be transmitted by skin contact, so although condoms *do* help quite a bit, they don't provide the same level of protection against the herp that they do against things like HIV or syphilis. One in six people has herpes so it's pretty common. That said, herpes is annoying, but not fatal. The stigma is probably the worst thing about it. It's life-altering in that you have to disclose it to potential partners, and some of them will consider it a deal-breaker. But you can still have a fulfilling romantic and sexual life.

I sympathise with the OP's situation, FYL. My body reacts very badly to hair removal, meaning that I have had to on a few occasions had to explain that it's not an STI. I'm overly paranoid about STIs so always go and get checked (I live in the UK, so I can go for a full-check-up on STIs immediately for free whenever I like). I think my worst one was when I was when my razor burn got infected (not STI), and there were still some signs of it post-treatment for a short time.

Seriously. You're an idiot for believing her. If you questioned it. You knew. Always wrap it up!

actually even with condoms and medicine and no outbreak you can get herpes. I know this because I did. my ex and I always wore condoms he did not tell me he had them either. he never had an outbreak and was always on medicine which I learned after I got it. so you may think you know someone or you may know them for a long time it is isn't something you share when first introducing yourself and they may have never had an outbreak and no clue that they even have it. I have to say your life sucks. and sorry dude :-/

I am in the same boat as you. My first fiance had a cold sore in his mouth he did not tell me about. And now I have herpes for life. Add that I am allergic to latex and fun times. it was embarrassing as hell to tell any potential partners after that that I had herpes, and that even though I was not having any active flares, they ran the risk of contracting it. But, it had to be done. I am lucky enough my flares are so rare that I do not need medications for it. The hellish part was that, even with all the precautions, warnings and knowledge, my husband has it now. Yes, I did tell him all about it, gave him all the research on it etc. He is luckier than I in that he hasn't had a flare since the very first one. All this because my first fiance didn't tell me about a cold sore in his mouth. It gets worse when you are pregnant, you have to go on rounds of meds weeks before childbirth and you worry and stress about what the virus may do to your baby...not a fun STD, no condom can prevent it, meds won't help prevent spreading it. you can micro flares and not know it. It is a damn curse, especially if you were the loyal one that received it. And if you accidentally gave it to your long term partner even though they knew the risks and and you both were being cautious...that is a hell in and of itself...I was almost suicidal with guilt when I first learned that.

Yep my ex cheated on me and brought me back life long genital std... I cried for days. Its humiliating telling potential partners or boyfriends about it. I have been pretty lucky though because I was with my boyfriend 2 years, never used a condom, and he is still std free!

What happens in vegas stays in vegas except herpes that shit will always come back

You deserve it OP. This is why casual sex is pretty much NEVER a good idea. Moral implications aside, it's potentially bad for your health. Trusting someone with your body that you don't even know? Someone who's just trying to get off and won't give a damn about you tomorrow? Sounds like a great idea....if catching STIs is your plan.

technology is crazy no I heard they have this thing that you wrap your dick in to protect you from sti's an stuff like that they sell at stores you should look into a pack of those for yourself
