I told him already having met this woman that he should cut his losses. Nice of her to be honest with him, but some baggage is just too much....
I agree, 1st extremely honest, respectful & mature of her to let him know up-front. Wonder how many other women/men practice this level of dignity & honesty. At minimum he should keep her as a friend, you never know how this is affecting her social life and she may need friends to help just get by in life.
As for, sexual contact, way to risky.
Second this is a quote from the above noted site,
http://www.herpes.com/ and would probably apply to Canada as well.
"Oral herpes, an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus, is estimated to be present in
50 to 80 percent of the American adult
population.
20 percent, over 50 million people, are infected with
genital herpes"
OMG, that statistic scares the hell out of me. 50% infection rate of oral herpes. God help us all, this can get to be totally uncontrolable. Time for me to rethink this hobby.
