  • I would be more concerned with the people who don’t disclose it more than the person being responsible about it. Most people who have HSV2 don’t know they have it because:

    • they’re asymptomatic
    • shedding can occur when asymptomatic and they got it from someone who didn’t know they had it
    • most routine std panels do not include herpes, even if sold as a “complete” panel
    • some blood tests are less accurate for herpes (antibody is more accurate).
    • Testing is only recommended by drs if symptomatic or if you suspect exposure. But if you are not symptomatic then some drs view this as a ethical dilemma due to the psychological and emotional harm a false positive can cause for a lifelong and incurable disease

    This article is worth a read if you haven’t already.

    Anyway, to answer your question, yes, i would(and am in one). I don’t want to tell you how to feel but for me it’s not a big deal.













  • Youre better off asking why women overall are more likely to read. It follows that more women would be authors. And it gets even worse if you’re looking at book club participation where women are much more likely to participate ime as the frequent only man at book clubs.

    For your fantasy book authors, you probably were expecting the opposite because society historically pushed male authors to the forefront and you can still see this today where many people will list their top fantasy books and not a single woman author can be found. This is either inadvertent or intentional sexism.
