really think the vast amount of evidence we have for common herpes viruses causing a shitload of population morbidity is under investigated and definitely under treated.
to clarify, herpes is a big class of viruses that includes HSV1 (usually cold sores on your mouth), HSV2 (usually sores on your genitals), and herpes zoster (chicken pox!). HSV1 and 2 can infect any tissue and can be spread through casual contact, not just sexual contact. the majority of the human population will contract one or both if they live long enough. many people get HSV1 or 2 at birth or through postnatal contact with parents, family, or visiting adults. just holding or kissing a baby is enough contact to transmit herpes viruses.
so what happens is almost everyone gets these viruses and most people deal with it without catastrophic problems, but the evidence is building up that it may be responsible for a lot of illness that wasn't previously suspected. for example:
Report of a Case A woman aged 33 years presented with a 4-day history of intractable headache, photophobia, nausea, and neck and back discomfort. She had 3 previous hospital admissions for a similar disorder, the first and most severe of which occurred concomitantly with her initial outbreak of genital herpes. Results of her examination were remarkable for a low-grade fever and stiff neck. A contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain yielded normal findings. Results of CSF analysis showed a white blood cell count of 56/μL (90% lymphocytes), a protein level of 66 mg/dL, and a glucose level of 54 mg/dL. Results of PCR were positive for HSV-2. Her symptoms resolved shortly after treatment with intravenous acyclovir, and no further episodes were observed during a suppressive regimen of daily acyclovir in the ensuing 3 years.
that's just a bad migraine. i know dozens of people who have gone to the ER with identical symptoms and were given rescue meds and sent home. the only reason they found anything weird here is the spinal tap and PCR which is not standard procedure for a migraine admission. so who knows how many other chronic migraine sufferers actually have mild encephalitis or meningitis from an HSV infection.

Revolutionary Cure for HIV
HIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is a virus that attacks the immune system, leading to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) if left untreated. Since the virus was first identified in the early 1980s, scientists have been working tirelessly to find a cure for HIV. While there have been significant advancements in the treatment of HIV, there is still no cure.
However, recent scientific breakthroughs have given hope to the possibility of a revolutionary cure for HIV. One of the most promising approaches involves using gene editing technology to eliminate the virus from infected cells.
This technique, known as CRISPR-Cas9, allows scientists to precisely target and remove specific genes from DNA. In the case of HIV, the idea is to use CRISPR-Cas9 to remove the viral DNA from the infected cells, effectively curing the patient of the disease.

How did you get comfortable disclosing that you have hsv2?
every time i've told a partner they were really cool about it. i think being honest and not creating anxiety around it yourself helps the other person feel more comfortable about it. (this does not mean im not terribly nervous beforehand. it's still nerve racking)
irl, i don't disclose until i feel it's necessary (when we're discussing intercourse in reality) and that's my own choice for my own safety and comfort.
i usually give a couple facts without being overwhelming and then let them know they can ask me any questions. id also say i think waiting so you know each other a bit before telling helps because they see you, the person. it's harder to stigmatize when we zoom in.
coming out online has also helped. i've seen others interact with my hsv content or come forward with questions like this and it's nice to know we're not alone.
