Be careful with those greentexts.
Now that the source has run out, they're irreplaceable artifacts.

I'm rationing my greentexts. I only read one line a day

[–] Gullible 95 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

It’s fine, I can easily search 8chan and find greentexts an order of magnitude more deranged. This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg, thankfully/unfortunately

Back in the day I thought that of /b/.
Those were simpler times. A more… civilized age.

Back when /b/ was a containment board, not the whitehouse

I’m surprised it’s still down (just checked)

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not. The site was running on old software a decade ago and hasn't been touched. I'd be surprised if they don't swipe another chan software and just slapped a coat of paint on it, but I don't expect them to be rushing to get the site back online after they got entirely rinsed.

Literally ⅔ of all humanity has at least one type of HSV. It is not the end of the world.

[–] Tar_alcaran 34 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

And it's not infectious when it's asymptomatic.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago

And it's asymptomatic most of the time. 😚

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

Thats false! “Transmission may still occur when symptoms are not present.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpes

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (14 children)

Where can I find more info on this? You've peaked my curiosity and I want to learn more about HSV and how it works.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It works by making fucking ugly sore blisters on/around my mouth a couple times a year. they dry out and crust off after a week or so and i get on with my life.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Huh, either I dont know I have it or I got lucky. Thats crazy. I imagine an STD test would pick up HSV-2 but I wonder if it also picks up the oral variant. Ive never actually noticed any symptoms on myself. This is actually crazy though I didnt know this, I feel like more people should. TIL lol

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You can totally also be asymptomatic for your whole life and not know it. It is also useful to know that "oral herpes" doesn't exclusively affect your mouth, and "genital herpes" doesn't exclusively affect your genitals. Just more often. Both types can appear in both locations. The hypothetical person from the greentext would likely have contracted oral herpes. I'm not sure how that works with STD tests, though.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago

I got tested once and the doctor told me testing for herpes is pointless because most everyone has the antibodies in their body due to how common it is. The test gives false positives most of the time.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

No one tests for HSV1 ever unless you have a bad active outbreak.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK47447/

Worldwide, ∼90% of people have one or both viruses. HSV-1 is the more prevalent virus, with 65% of persons in the United States having antibodies to HSV-1 (Xu et al., 2002). The epidemiology in Europe is similar, with at least half of the population seropositive for HSV-1. In the developing world, HSV-1 is almost universal, and usually acquired from intimate contact with family in early childhood

2/3 of the population UNDER 50 have some form of HSV, but virtually every person autopsied that died over the age of 60 will have HSV-1. It's THAT common. That's why they don't test.

Anon, who'd you get the BJ from? They can't give it to you again...

[–] Cheradenine 86 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is a common misconception and the leading cause of Turbo herpes outbreaks.

Stay safe kids

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Source?

[–] Cheradenine 32 points 2 weeks ago

Um, it happened to a friend of mine

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

it's the same with turbo aids and turbo autism

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I had two autistic roommates in college, and somehow I got out of there with only a mild infection.

Source? The same cock they sucked the first time, obviously

[–] neukenindekeuken 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You can't get it multiple times from the same partner unless it's hsv-1,and even then it's rare after you've built up a resistance to the virus and they'd need to be in an active outbreak.

But yes, you can migrate the location of hsv1, the most common herpes type (incorrectly referred to as oral herpes). You want to be especially careful if it migrates to your facial area beyond your mouth/lips as occular herpes can cause blindness, and if it spreads to your nose and brain, there's a real chance you could die.

These are rare in first world countries though and are typically seen in places without access to clean water and sanitation.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I got HSV-2 after my longtime partner cheated on me, and it's absolutely miserable. I wouldn't recommend anyone take it as lightly as some people do. During the first outbreak I couldn't pee at all because it was blocking my urinary tract, and it felt like I had a horrible flu. I get outbreaks constantly and they're so painful that it's hard to sit at my computer at work. The daily pills are massive and give me a stomach ache, and only reduce the frequency of the outbreaks but don't prevent them entirely.

I never asked for this, I was never promiscuous, I only did not use protection because we were in a monogamous relationship for 4 years. Dating is hard enough because I'm trans and ugly, so I've resigned myself to just never having sex again.

[–] PolarKraken 8 points 1 week ago

I'm so sorry :(

This happened to my wife, FWIW, from an old horrible partner (abusive too, v cool). Her outbreaks got milder over time to where now they're a minor inconvenience at most. And they don't get in our way, so to speak.

Even though, yes, some folks are now preemptively and permanently out of your dating pool, I'd argue that a lot of the people self-excluding in that way have done you a favor.

Love is strong stuff! I can imagine how low you feel about this, but I hope you allow space for it to improve over time and you don't give up on having a sex life or romantic partners. You're worthy of love, this dumb (and seriously common) disease can't change that :)

Fake: Anon getting a blowjob Gay: Anon pretending to have a disease as explanation of never touching a women

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure there are sites specifically for and sites that have filters for people who have certain STDs (HSV1, HSV2, AIDS, etc.) so affected people can still get together without worrying about spreading diseases.

I forget which one it is, but even one of the mainstream sites had an option for this years ago when I was dating. OK Cupid? Plenty of Fish? I think it might've been one of those.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago

HSV2 dating sites be lit though.

Do you ask a woman before kissing here if she has any diseases?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

I ask to inspect her anus with a flashlight. Halogen preferred.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

thats hot!

If they don't have a sore, they ~~aren't infectious~~ are less infectious, but frankly, if this isn't something she tells you before it gets intimate, that's a red flag in my book. One of my exes had HSV and she disclosed everything to me beforehand. I kinda freaked out internally at first and considered breaking it off, but then I actually researched it and found out there's not a risk if they're not having a breakout (still use protection of course).

Things didn't work out because of other reasons, but it was a pretty good relationship while it lasted and I don't regret it. I still have a clean bill of health, no infections so if you meet someone that has HSV, try to keep in mind it doesn't necessarily have to be a deal breaker as long as your partner is honest with you and you take precautions.

Edited to correct a factual error.
