Why do people say they have herpes in singles ads?!
Question: I was looking through some singles ad's just for the sake of it, and I notice a lot of ads where the person mentions they have herpes straight away, for example 'Herpes, we are still human and need to love and be loved etc etc'. Are they talking about the cold sore virus on their mouth or the one down 'there'? And what does it mean for the person who they date, will they catch it or are they at risk to catch it therefore they have to give a warning on their ad? Or do they constantly have something wrong with or on their 'bits'? I assume its not to do with the cold sores you get on your lip because a lot of the population has it and I thought you would just avoid kissing your girlfriend or boyfriend when you had one? And not really have to pre-warn people about it on a singles ad, like they do with the herpes, it makes them sound like they have leprosy or something, not implying people with herpes are lepers or anything, I just find it odd they say it on their ad and wondered why?

could be either one, the genital type or the cold sore type. both of them are very contagious. sometimes once someone finds out that they have herpes they may get the eeewww response and the person may not want anything to do with them. there is such a negative stigma out there for people with herpes. they may want to find someone who has herpes, so they can lower their risk of spreading herpes to someone who doesn't have it. that meas that there is a risk of getting herpes from them because it is very contagious. u are supposed to avoid kissing someone with a cold sore while they have one, because they can be passed on that way. people with herpes find it difficult to find someone who wont treat u like a leper for having herpes.
Cause they are actors and are paid to do so
probably for legal reasons they have to disclose they
have Herpes
Herpes is contagious. It is an STD. You cannot get rid of it.The people who mention it first I guess do it so you have the choice if you want to persue a relationship with them or not.
I admit it does take guts for them to tell people it would be much worse to know and not tell anyone till they catch it.
If I know someone has it, Im not going to get into a physical realationship no matter what kind of advertising they have done.
Herpes Simplex I = cold sores. Herpes Simplex II = genital sores. These viruses stay latent in you for life and while the contagious sores themselves go away about a week after an outbreak, the source virus stays in your body only to produce sores again at the next sign of environmental or physical stress - such as cold, hence the name 'cold sore.' These people are just warning others that they have a disease with symptoms that can spread during sore outbreaks to permanently reside in their partner's body. It's a situation similar to HIV-positives, only that disease is much more dangerous.
Hello, When a personal ad has that in the ad it is sexual in nature or "down there" as you put it.
I would give kudos to those who are honest from the start as that would mean that they will probably be honest with everything else in a relationship.
With medicine and physician assisted directions they can have sex but there are times when they definately cannot.
There are others with the same problem and maybe they would have better luck finding someone who either has it or would be willing to be in a relationship with someone who has it.
they get paid to lie that's why it's called( tell lie vision)
By putting it out there, maybe they are trying to save themselves from being hurt over and over. It's hard enough to date but to find someone you like and care about and after telling them you have herpes, they leave. The other person knows upfront about their condition, not 3 months down the road.
Doesn't matter if they have HSV1 or HSV2 - they have it & they choose to be up front & honest about it....
Alot of folks would be PISSED if they get to know someone, get to liking them & then find out they have herpes....and then they have to decide whether the risk is worth the sex.....
So that they can either find someone else taht has it (since 1 in 4 people do) or so they can let potential partners know up front so they can decide whether they want to get involved. So many people have it and don't tell so kudos for those that do.
