Engaging in the LS means accepting a certain level of risks. There are a lot of posts on this sub about those risks.
We've met a couple we really like and were planning on meeting again soon for sexy time. Recently that couple have disclosed that they are HSV-2 . Understandably that now has us reconsidering with a strong leaning of not engaging in play at all with them.
There is so much information out there. And some of it is conflicting and confusing. We are thinking it would be great to reach out here and see what others real lived experiences are.
Do any couples or singles (presumably HSV-2 negative) here knowingly play with couples who are HSV-2 positive? If so, did you become positive yourselves?
Note: not looking to shame anyone who is HSV-2 positive. We feel overall it would be great if this virus was de stigmatized.

I agree with not demonizing it per se, especially as it’s so easy to get.
However, I do think you’re downplaying the symptoms. It CAN be minimal. But some people have really awful outbreaks really frequently and it can be pretty impactful. Also if you plan on having a baby in the future it can be a major issue during childbirth and for the baby id not treated correctly.
