Fascinating.

Seems that very few people with oral HSV-1 give much thought to disclosing, and few people without it care.

If you put up the same poll with genital HSV-2, I bet you'd see dramatically different results.

I wonder why?

Stigma?

People are stupid (irrational)?

Yeah, from what I've heard, there's not much rational basis for such a difference.

Yeah. There's no rational basis whatsoever, and yet people treat oral and/or HSV-1 with a great big shrug and yawn, and genital and/or HSV-2 like leprosy.
