Re: Love a girl but there is a dilemma
As far as I know the virus is most likely to be transmitted during an outbreak, or just before an outbreak. The person infected usually can tell that an outbreak is imminent.
Also, the outbreaks tend to become less severe and occur less often as the body builds up some immunity to the virus.
Maybe I was just lucky, and didn't take the whole thing seriously enough, but to me the whole thing was pretty much a non issue.
If having sex with someone could give you AIDS, or some other life threatening condition, then it's a totally different situation.
With herpes the worst case is that you end up in a situation that is unpleasant, but I believe that would be a minor irritant compared to not being with someone who you love and care about. I think I'm willing to take that risk any day of the week.
