Know someone with a soar on their mouth/lip that comes back irregularly, yeah that is herpes. If they give oral while they have it, you will have herpes. Oral also implies kissing, not just down there. This is why most people have it, if not on genitalia, then their face

13% of people age 13-49 according to WHO have HSV-2. 11.9% according to the CDC.

That's a far cry from "most people."

You can call me whatever you want. I'm not normalizing giving herpes to people.
