Mommyk232	My friend since HS has herpes - it was some guy that had it and KNEW it had it- didn't tell her. It's not her fault (before you give me the condom speechwe are in our 40's now- wasn't a big deal back then). Now she lives with it always because a guy couldn't tell her he had it.

Stacie	herpies are the least of the problem these days! lol Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mommycat	I would still talk to them. You can't get herpes from talking to someone. Besides, think of how many people you probably talk to that has herpes, or worse, AIDS. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

beeotch	Why would you not talk to them? Would someone not want to talk to you because you have toenail fungus or arthritis? They are still a human, only thing is they have an incureable STD. Get some more info on what diseases are, be it STD or otherwise. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nikkimccarty	Why would you not talk to someone who has herpes? I wouldn't have sex with them, or kiss them (depending on where the herpes are) but you can't catch herpes by talking to someone. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cinqsou	Herpes is not an air borne disease. I is spread through body contact. Talking will not harm you. Sex or mouth contact will. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

XAM	You can talk to them, and they won't pass it to you. It's not like you guys are making out or anything. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lrn'dTheHardWay	I do know some people with herpes. It does not change who they are. That is not a reason to shun someone. There are several ways to get herpes and they are not all because one is "dirty", or has sex all the time or are bad in some kind of way. YOu should look up herpes on the net and read all about it... Make a decision about someone because of their character(or lack therof)...not because of some condition they have. You need to know more about herpes....and you will not even need to ask that question. If this person is bad news for other reasons....ok....but that alone should not be a cause to judge them "gone" Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jay	I don't think you should be mean to people who have herpes....it doesn't change their personality or their spirit...there are good people out there who got infected with it one way or another, so I don't c what the prob is with having a convo Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Deborah H	Genital or herpes cold sores? I would avoid both. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rgkee	You won't catch it from talking to them. If it's oral herpes, you might catch it from kissing or drinking after them. If it's genital herpes, you might catch it if you have unprotected sex. In either case, the disease is transferred by coming in contact with the lesions. Lots of people have one form or the other, probably a lot of people have it that you know, they just haven't told you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

happy_nude_year_pervs	Well I wouldn't go around kissing anybody with an open sore on their mouth. You can't avoid people with herpes. You'd be surprised how many people have things you don't know about. You'd never leave your home. Just go about your life normally around them. You're not going to catch anything, I promise. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jo F	probably everyone has herpes of one kind or another . .the most common is cold sores on the mouth . . . talk to people, of course . .just be careful when you have sex . ..or kiss Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mtnlady	I would definitely talk to the person. You can't catch it from talking. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hot like me	You don't get herpes from talking, so I would still talk to them just don't have sex with them and you will be fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pangolin	You don't catch it by talking, sweetheart. Avoid sexual contact. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

candy g	speak to them if a good friend BUT other than that more than likely cut them lose.........the one person that I KNEW had this would sleep around all over the place and would not tell people so I dropped her fast. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tas-okay	Talk to them of course you don't have to have sex with them to still be their friend! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Middlehitter	Talking to someone with herpes WILL NOT pass it on to you... but if the individual has the cold, or something like that, you'll catch cold... If you're talking with this individual as your having, or just had sex... well, now you'll have to go see the doctor... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
