Anyone who would answer this ty very much!!!?

Question

If you meet a man/woman. Started dating. If she are he told you they had herpes. And you did not. Would you still date the person. B/c of who they are not what they have. Would you reseach on the std and see what's what. Of course eveyone knows it can't be cured but there are ways to treat and control the disease.. So all in all would you give a relationship a chance w/ a person who has herpes??

Answer 1

Honestly, a person cannot say what they would or wouldn't do unless they have been in that situation. If you have already started a relationship with this person and they were honest enough to tell you and allow you to make the decision, they are more then likely worth hanging on to. It is a tough decision but educate yourself and when your partner has checkups for this disease tag along and ask the Dr. questions you may have, so your more comfortable in the relationship with the situation. STD's are a disease but so are alcoholism, drug and physical abuse and people stay in those type of relationships and try to work it out. What is the difference?

Answer 2

1st get the facts, 2nd weigh the pros and cons, and go with your heart. Also take into consideration the type (1 or 2), the likelihood of you becoming infected, and the feelings you have for that person. Of course if the person had breakouts all around their mouth and genitals regularly (type 2), it might not be in your best interest to pursue them, unless you were totally in love and going to be together for the long haul and even then you would want to proceed with caution. If the person has (type 1) that's a whole other story, because 80% of the population has herpes (type 1) orally of the mouth. Have you ever noticed all the commercials on TV nowdays for medicine for mouths sores? So everyone and anybody that you kiss could potentially have it and probably do not know. You could have been introduced to it like so many others and not even know. So unless you have been to the doctors and REQUESTED a herpes test, don't be so quick to pass judgement. Herpes tests are not even done as a part of a routine physical. You would never know, until you have an outbreak which can be mistaken for a number of other things, (i.e hairbumps, razorbumps) So I would say to each his own, it's your life and everyday we take chances, and personally if the person is what you are looking for go for it, at least you know herpes won't kill you, and at least the person thought enough of you to tell you. That says something about their character. Millions live perfectly healthy, normal lives everyday with the disease, and have been for a long time. Do what you feel is going to be the best thing for you. All the best.

Answer 3

If your lover suffered cold sores on his/her lips, would you refuse to go out with him/her? Its the same kind of virus, and just like a cold sore it is not there all the time. Some people have a herpes breakout once in their lifetime. Maybe it cant be cured, but that doesnt mean you are always going to have breakouts...like I said, some people may have 1 or 2 breakouts in their lifetime. You cannot catch herpes unless you engage in sex while the blisters are present. And if you are unsure, then have the man use a condom. Herpes is not a killer disease, it is uncomfortable and sometimes painful, but it wont kill you.

Ultimately it is your decision...you need to weigh up the risks as opposed to how much you love/care for this person. I think the risk is minimal if you are careful. And if you are careful you will not get herpes.

Answer 4

It all depends just how much you enjoy that persons company. I guess the whole thing is you don't want to get herpes and then break up some day with that person. Then the shoe would be on the other foot. You would have to tell some one else. So you better play it safe.

Answer 5

you definitely read to research and educate yourself about this as you are getting some misinformation here. 70% of herpes transmissions occur when there is no outbreak and that is a medical fact. it is caused by viral shedding. condoms do not protect you as it is spread skin to skin. if you are negative i would highly suggest you do everything in your power to stay that way. have your partner's blood tested to see if he/she has hsv 1 or hsv2. with hsv 1 genital you get very few outbreaks. in addition, have your partner talk to the doctor about going on suppressive therapy with medication to prevent transmitting the virus to you. if you get it and then you two break up-you are stuck with herpes and will find it difficult in future relationships. definitely research and see a doctor about this

Answer 6

I think it would be a deal breaker for me. But don't be mean about it. Just explain that you need to be careful and you do not want to contract this incurable disease. From what I have heard it is not pleasant. They can go on medication to keep it under control, but you will still contract it and then YOU would be on meds too. I say move on, but be nice about it.

Answer 7

Yes because herpes can only be spread during an outbreak. If you really like the person no matter what their condition is you should give them a chance. Heck it could be any of us that could catch herpes or any other disease.

Answer 8

I would. Actually, I have herpes and my partner totally understands. You really cant give it to the other person unless you are having a break out. I have only had one break out. They say you still can give it to the other person even without a breakout, but the chances of that are really slim.

Answer 9

Hell NO......go 4 it so they have a incurable STD. U can work around that. U can still have a great relationship with this person. Don't let that get in the way. Like u said its who they r not wot they have. Good Luck with it.

Answer 10

Sure I would. You did the right thing on educating yourself. Now if that is what you want you need to protect yourself because nothing in life is gran teed.
