Question

Should I dump him because I suspect he has herpes?

Xper 6

So I've been talking to this guy and getting to know for the past several weeks.
Today he turned up with a cold sore on his lower lip. I asked what it was? He said it's a cold sore and it might be genetic because he said his mom gets it all the time.

I think he's lying and I suspect he has herpes. Should I make a run for it?

maybe he does love you more. ot is not love if you break up with something like herpes. love is stronger than that. Tbh you should have never asked this question.

Absolutely not. Please educate yourself on cold sores before you judge people like this.

  If you actually had educated yourself then you'd know it's not an STD when it's a cold sore

  I read that article actually. "They are caused by the herpes simplex virus.". "There are two kinds of herpes virus: HSV-1, which is usually not an STD and occurs on the lip, and HSV-2, which usually causes herpes genitalis, which is essentially an STD in the genital area. Both viruses can be transmitted by saliva, body secretions or oral sex."

  Usually not an STD and occurs on the lip is what you need to focus on

  and both are transmitted through saliva, bodily excretions and oral sex. You need to focus on that. I read more articles that state cold sores are STDs

I know "some" people are gonna tell you to educate yourself or that everyone has it or that its normal. However I have never had a cold sore on my lips or had a breakout of cold sores. I also dont think its normal.
Now I have heard that if someone has this, it can be passed by sharing straws or cups too. So just my two cents.

Should I dump him because I suspect he has herpes?
