The long and short of it is me getting a call after dinner two weeks ago. Girl, who I haven't even talked to in years, doesn't even live in the state - girl informs me she recently tested positive for the Herpes.
I think back to highschool sex-ed, the parts with the pictures. This is a problem.
A quick refresher, based on what I read on wikipedia: the disease generally shows up within a month or so of actually getting it. Symptoms are close to a really bad flu, but vary. I presume you get sores and whatnot.
Now, I haven't been sick since last winter, when I had a few seperate colds, some pretty bad. At this point, I had slept with girl a handful of times. More of an occasional hobby on both our parts.
Was one of those colds actually a Hep symptom? Did I just not notice random sores on my third favorite body part?
Probably not. But I'll probably be checking this Sunday, just in case.
