    Remember when Michael Vick used the pseudonym Ron Mexico when getting tested for herpes and it became a meme?

      He gave a girl herpes. That’s why he got tested and sued.

      Also, you got me thinking of “Carlos Danger”.

        I remember a friend of mine apparently got it when I was younger, when attempting to look into testing for it, I found most doctors don’t even test men for it. With a high amount of men showing no symptoms, women get the unfair hit of such. Apparently a lot of people view it as “acne” down there and no big deal. I think that’s shit, but it was eye opening seeing how much our medical field didn’t care about it.

        That said, to those who may not know, it is transferred via physical contact, so condoms will not guarantee it does not get contracted. As the condom protects the member, it does not protect your inner thighs and other areas.

        I got lucky and never got it, but be safe out there.
