While it’s not a huge deal, that’s not true about no negative effects so that’s a bold statement. Having herpes does very slightly increase your risk of HIV, and you definitely need to be aware of your contact with immunocompromised individuals (and babies!). Also just because the majority of the world populace does have herpes doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be tested for it. Most people with herpes are asymptomatic, and may think they are negative because they never had an outbreak, when in reality are positive. When you get yearly STD screens, it is not normally tested for unless specified, and usually only if you have an outbreak. Also the exact test can be a factor. If you were exposed months or years ago and are asymptomatic, you may be negative with a swab. You would need to request an IgG and IgM screen.
Do not assume you are truly negative unless you come back negative for both simplex I and II in both IgM and IgG antibody tests
Exactly my thoughts. Having seen patients die of parvo and leptospirosis, it makes me livid to see an animal suffer because their owner is too ignorant to give them their vaccines.

Should have read your comment first and I wouldn’t need to comment myself

I concur, every song I’ve heard so far by Midland has been pretty stellar
