consider this a poll

[chhotii]

On koshmom's suggestion, I am asking a direct question. I've been too lame to sign up as a paid user, so I don't think I can do an official "poll", but your feedback is requested. (Anonymous ok.)

This is apropos nothing.

Please indicate which of these most closely matches your feelings/opinions on the subject of "herpes" (HSV-2, to be precise):

1. I would never date someone with herpes. Surely a blister on Mr. Happy would be a fate worse than death.

2. If the right person came along, a minor skin condition wouldn't stand between us. Not that I'd rush into being physical with someone with herpes-- better to take things slow, and be sure that they are the right person, before risking anything.

3. I am impervious! I have genitalia of stainless steel! C'mon and ooze all over me, baby!

Thanks.

There is also the difference between someone with herpes who doesn't have outbreaks foten or at all and someone in the first years outbreaking all the time. It's risk assesment.

Right, and someone like me, who takes Valtrex every single day. :-)
