So I am pretty close with an older co worker who has a 17 year old son. The both of us trade war stories all the time as we both were pretty active boning when we were younger. So he comes into work this week and tells me his kid has herpes 1 and me being the putz I am is like no big deal so he gets a couple of cold sores on his lips a year. Well he continues to tell me all the facts about herpes and I was shocked and grossed out at the same time. I had no idea you could get herpes 1 on your genitals. I thought 1 was on the lip and 2 was in your crotch
1/4 people have herpes and 80% never show symptoms and need specific blood tests. Oral sex is one of the easiest ways to catch herpes. Most people by time they are in there 50's have herpes. I was just blown away by these facts and others he told me. Then started telling me about kids and hpv.
Really sad for kids growing up nowadays all the shit they have to worry about
