I changed my friend's perspective on H

I had to share this because I thought it was so cool.

I am 24 and my friend is 26 and me and this girl are tight. We both respect each others' opinions and think out loud to each other. She has been a huge support for me when going through H and really let me work it out.

She said something to me that made me really proud. She said that looking back on all the men that she has liked and been interested in, that statistically speaking a decent percentage of them would have had herpes and that knowing what she knows now, it wouldn't have much of an impact on her decision to stay with them, that it wouldn't really change them. There is a man that she is interested in now and she told me that as she is getting to know him, if he were to admit to having herpes that she wouldn't see it as a huge deal.

Hooray for destroying the stigma one by one!
