The United States has such a shitty education system so I'm sharing something that I just found out that really should be common health knowledge.

Apparently if you've ever had a cold sore, you have HSV-1, which is the herpes simplex virus. The virus stays in your body for your entire life. You can still pass it onto people when you do not have a current cold sore through things like sharing utensils, kissing, and oral sex.

67% of those under the age of 50 in global population have it.

HSV 1 is more commonly associated with cold sores on the mouth, but is also prevalent as a form of genital herpes. HSV 2 is the main herpes virus associated with genital herpes, but can also occur on the mouth (which actually seems to be less likely). HSV 2 is found in around 13% of the global population under the age of 50. If you're 51 WHO doesn't have stats for you because people past the age of 50 never have sex/s.

HSV 2 gives someone an increased risk of getting HIV. From research so far, HSV 1 doesn't seem to do that. Both can be inherently more dangerous to those with weakened immune systems.

Another main difference is that HSV 1 typically doesn't have as many flare ups and periods of viral shedding (being contagious).

There are antiviral meds that decrease the frequency of flare ups and that can make it less likely to pass on to another person, but there's nothing that completely stops it from spreading or acting up.

Its definitely information I would've liked to know earlier. Too bad all health class did was go "SEX BAD" without explaining that a majority of the population has herpes and how it can spread. Ultimately shaming people for not only having sex but taking a bite off someone else's fork.

I am converted to herbs. My cold sores are totally gone, for about a year and three months now, since i used HerpEase by Dr Ofua Ofure of thegreatherbalhealinghome @ gmail .com (Call/whatsapp [phone] ) I have not experience any outbreak, HerpEase is a herbal medicine for herpes simplex virus from Dr Ofua Ofure, it works more perfectly than Acyclovir, cause its not only cure the coldsores blisters but also eradicate the herpes virus from your body system permanently, I recommend it for anyone out here.

I made the decision last week to not pursue anymore romantic or sexual relationships for the foreseeable future so of course I get a herpes outbreak as soon as the ONE newish person I wanted to have sex with is gonna be in my house for 2 nights. The universe was like "oh word? I'll make sure you stick to your decision, SLUT."
