      No it' a corticosteroid and should be avoided on Herpes

    yes, thats how I caught it. it was a 2 minute -worse sex of my life encounter- ending forever in my body. the only non-boyfriend I had.

    lifes unfair.

    for men its harder to get it with a condom (because their mucous membrane is then covered). a female could easily get it transferred to her vagina when theres virus on the condom / around the condom... and when its active, i believe its easily everywhere.
