Sure, but for example, consider 1 in 5 adults has herpes. Thats like one bullet in every revolver. And the xtrains of diseases are getting hardier/stronger to kill. And for straight folks, hpv is running wild and herpes is now no big deal. The gays now think hiv is no big deal and a badge of proof they’re a real gay. Like they earned a merit badge.
I guess it all depends on the type of herpes, some strains airborn, and nearly all adults pre-vax have had it myself included.
As far as I know you cannot kill any of the herpes viri once you are infected.
