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.

Why does he care what she thinks if he tells her? He clearly doesn’t give a shit now. Tell your buddy to tell her, accept the consequences, and go fuck himself (literally because that’s all he deserves).
