Actually, I have written a number of comments attempting to answer your questions and to educate you, as have others. All you have done is repeat yourself. And you accuse others of insulting you, throwing out your best wishes and your stars as if you’re actually the better person. You’re not. Ignorance is one thing,…

And that logic or reason has been provided to you.

Are you not aware that men have herpes and women willingly have sex with them? You seem convinced that it only goes one way.

I take no credit for meeting men who aren't hysterical and stupid.

You have a very strange way of referring to genitalia. You’re obviously fluent in English, but every time you try to make reference to a penis, you sound like Borat. It makes you even harder to take seriously than you already are.

I’ve noticed that it's also not considered at all a big deal outside of the US and Canada.

You make it sound like potentially getting a skin condition that might cause you itching every couple of years is akin to running into a burning building.

And again I’ll tell you to fuck off with your stupid characterizations of people.

No, I am taking issue with the fact that you implied that it’s okay to hit one kind of woman and not another.

Assault is assault. It’s either okay or it’s not. You don’t get to decide who is acceptable to beat and who isn’t based on your own arbitrary to determination of whether or not she’s a “lady”.

I guess I should give my boyfriend a Purple Heart.

Oh, fuck off.

Doctors do not test for HSV in a regular STD panel. If you have a blister, which many people with genital herpes never get, a doctor can swab it. But otherwise, all you can go by is a blood test, and 90% of people will test positive for one strain —and doctors often refuse to do a blood test for precisely that reason—…

Her first and only sexual experience was with a celebrity?

My ex-boyfriend dodged an insane roommate bullet, yes.

It spreads because people have no idea they have it. And that’s because they have no symptoms and because doctors don’t screen for it.

Not even, really. I’ve been upfront with everyone and even the casual hookups were like Cool, so are we fucking or what? I only ever had one bad reaction, and that guy had some really messed up, misogynistic ideas about sex.

It was for the best. That guy’s germophobia was debilitating.

He's not Arab.

I’d never had sex without a condom when I caught it. Why exactly am I supposed to be pissed at myself?
