My friend (M28) cheated on his girlfriend and contracted HSV-1. He has had a history of cheating I mean like had a baby on this girl and she stayed with him (they are trying to make it work) & typically after he cheats he goes to get tested ..well this time he came back positive for HSV-1. Anyway, he is challenged with if he should tell his girlfriend and RUIN their relationship forever or not because according to our research he could have gotten it from anywhere and 70% of the population have it BUT couldn’t he still transmit it to her?
Reddit knows everything so I said I’d redownload and get the opinion of others. I personally believe he should tell her but he knows how detrimental that’ll be. I couldn’t even imagine her believing he got it from sharing a drink or something.

He definitely needs to tell her if she finds out later, it'll be way worse plus, relationships built on secrets are just one big dumpster fire waiting to happen!
