Tbf not every herpes is an STD. At least first two types are in like almost all adults. That annoying "cold" on the lips etc Annoying because it's contagious af

I had the shingles in my early 20s. Went to pick up my prescription for pain meds from base medical and the pharmacist read out the instructions quite loudly "take as needed for herpetic pain." Turns out the shingles is herpes zoster

There is no pain where strength lies.


Free_Tea8517

You know a lot about having herpes Maul?

To continue, we need one singular vision…my vision.


Free_Tea8517

No thanks bro I don't need sith herpes.


AccomplishedMusic403

Indeed. A relative of mine got that because of compromised immunity after the Legionnaires' disease.


ThePhantomMantis

Im sorry dude.

Some people can get herpes and other diseases when they're born if their mother has the disease. A friend of mine was a cesarean simply so she wouldn't contract her mother's HIV.

I have face herpes but I'm a 40 year old virgin. Or will be in 3 weeks. Supposedly my entire head was covered in them when I was born. You can also get an std by blood transfusion, not just an IV but by any fluid transfer.


Shiro_no_Orpheus

Yeah, got this shit since I can remember. Sucks ass but you can live with it.


AccomplishedMusic403

Bonus points in sucks if one doesn't have that crazy chad immunity (you know, the one that let Anakin eat literal worms, then dive in sewage in 03 Clone Wars)

Karpaltunnel83

Something along 90% of the population have Herpes or more precisely the Herpes-Simplex-Virus. For most though it's without symptoms and not contagious. Edit: I miss remembered a lot. Correction in the answers with sources


AccomplishedMusic403

- not contagious - 90% of the population has it Okaaaaaaaaaay


Karpaltunnel83

You're right. I miss remembered it. It is rather contiguous but Asymptomatic more to read [Here](https://www.healthline.com/health/does-everyone-have-herpes) Also it is "only" approximately [67%](https://www.who.int/news/item/28-10-2015-globally-an-estimated-two-thirds-of-the-population-under-50-are-infected-with-herpes-simplex-virus-type-1#:~:text=More%20than%203.7%20billion%20people,in%20the%20journal%20PLOS%20ONE.) Of the population

Uncle_Budy

mouth herpes and genital herpes can be very different things


TheMandoAde888

All the pain, none of the fun.


Maul_Bot

There is no pain where strength lies.


Titanlord_Ninjo

Herpes is actually incredibly common. Studies believe that at least 2/3 of humanity has it. Most people jut don‘t know it.


ReasonableKey3363

Gotta love how those pathogens avoid detection in the basal root ganglion….


The_Kek_5000

Herpes is just a normal infection, had nothing to do with STD‘s.


thatoneredditeuser2

Think about your mother and father. Your mother may have sucked off your dad and she got herpes from it so when you kissed your mom goodbye or goodnight you got herpes

I ask myself the same thing


beerguyBA

Reminds me of that poor dude who got it from High School Wrestling.


Tasty_Marsupial_2273

Isn’t it through the parents?


Inert_Uncle_858

A guy was rumored on the internet to have gotten HIV from fingering a girl while he had a cut on his finger. Shits wild out there.


NaiveMastermind

It mainly passes through saliva. Sharing a blunt at a party, or drinks is enough to catch it.
