People with herpes should be removed from the dating pool. Herpes should be stigmatized. It lowers your value as a partner. I was watching some “educational” sexual health videos and I could not believe how they are trying to normalize it. It is gross

They don’t need to be removed from the dating pool. They just need to be honest about their status. I don’t agree with takes like these because it makes people with herpes feel ashamed and hide their diagnosis from their partners. I know a girl that has herpes and she has a lot of casual sex and never tells the guys she is HSV+ because she’s embarrassed

it’s already so stigmatized, why are you trying so hard to make it even more so?

Seriously, they were making it seem like herpes is just another thing you can have like asthma. It’s should not be normalized

Why not? If proper protection is used, how is it wrong for it to be normalized?

because some people are deeply unhappy and uncomfortable and need others to feel the same way
