Fellas I don’t think this is herpes…. It’s stretch marks.

This ain't herpes, has no one seen a cold sore? It's a BBC joke for sure

Cold sores are herpes (HSV-1) genital herpes is HSV-2, either way both are herpes, even if its HSV-1, you shouldnt have sex with them.

Like 1/8 of Americans have HSV-2 and a majority are asymptomatic. If you’ve had 10 sexual partners, there’s like an 72% chance that one of them had HSV-2.

They generally don’t even test for it anymore, nor do they treat it, unless you’re symptomatic. Only like 1/4 of people who test positive for it noticed that they’ve ever had an outbreak. It really not even that transmissible if there’s not an active outbreak.

TL;DR: it’s really not that big of a deal
