Do you ever just want them to have herpes on tv?

My sister and I were watching a programme where a teenager had just had sex and was itchy. Her friends were telling her to get checked out and it might be herpes " that NEVER goes away"

She goes to a doctor and just has thrush.

 

This whole time I'm watching going " please have herpes please have herpes" just so it would have to be addressed.

 

I know it's just tv but still would be a nice change for once at least here any way.

I do this all the time. Most often when I'm watching a romantic comedy or a Nicholas Sparks inspired film, where a plot line of herpes would obviously NEVER happen. As they are making out and about to "make love" I always imagine one of them saying "I have herpes."

Hahaha. I will now! This would be great

Yeah, I literally played out in my mind how it would all go for this girl even before they told her it was just thrush.

 

Just wanted to it be the real story haha.

There are a few shows out there that are starting to touch upon the subject ... or on STD's in general. Several showing the person having a scare ... but it would be nice to have someone get H and show what happens here - the (unnecessary) agony and upset ... and the reality of living and loving with H.

 

I think it will happen soon.... a lot of subjects are being covered nowadays that wouldn't have been touched even 5 yrs ago. It's just a matter of time ;)
