HERPES - GENITALIA

A girl I know told me she has herpes (genitalia) not the lip one - she said if its managed right, she is fine, no flare ups etc etc...

Now I am sceptical to re-encounter said female due to own ignorance of not fully knowing herpes HSV 1 AND 2 and how it can implicate myself....

She said 'most people that do their own research are fine with it' etc etc -

to be honest, it sounds she is managing it very very well and has the research behind her... Im just thinking about things like 'kissing/sharing a cigarette' and things like that...


Id appreciate ANY help or insights on this....!!

Honestly herpes is not like a cold. I do not think kissing or foreplay can make there be a contraction. Genital infections are not the same as normal infections in the way contact forms them. I suppose it has to do with genitals. So giving oral sex and pass it on, or anal sex. Kissing does not pass it on. In any case i think you should speak to your doctor. Herpes is a easy to find sexual infection.
