Is contracting genital herpes really as bad as they say?!
Question: Is contracting genital herpes really as bad as they say?
Answers:
No, not necessarily. There are many medications out there that reduce viral loads, and make outbreaks occur less frequently. These medications also help reduce the risk of transmission between partners. Genital herpes is a very common STD, as about 1 in 4 women and 1 in 8 men have HSV-2.
Herpes is a virus. Medications help make symptoms dormant, but you're pretty much stuck with it forever. So probably yes.
