Herpes

My best friend does not know how to start dating after her ex gave her herpes. How can I advise her?

As icky as it is, herpes isn't the end of the world. It's not HIV, it's not going to kill you eventually.

Have her research herpes and learn about outbreaks, recognizing them, and learn to work around them. Make sure she's educated well, because she should be preparing to inform her future partners about this, and be able to give THEM accurate info, and answer their questions.

She should be honest, above all else. And if this means she dates only others with herpes in the future, so be it! She'll have plenty of folks to choose from!

I truly agree with everything that KittenMoon just said.
