Thank you @MIssouri. I've had this virus for six years now. My outbreaks are few and far between. I also have hsv1 since I was a kid(double whammy)lol. Honestly, the physical part of the virus isn't a problem for me, it's the mental aspects of it all. People think just because you have herpes that we are dirty, and filthy. This virus has nothing to do with that. This virus is from skin to skin contact and anybody can get it. I'm so tired of the jokes people tell about herpes like they can't get it.
