It seems that too many couples dating later in life are taking chances with their health. A new report from the United Kingdom is reflective of trends in cities across Eurpore and the United States.
With the wealth of information on the Internet — be safe not sorry. Do not be afraid to ask a new partner straight out — here are a few easy ways to ask:
“Have you ever had an outbreak of herpes?”
“How often do you get cold sores?” (remember HSV1 and HSV2 are interchangable)
“Are you taking any medication for herpes or STD’s?”
If a partner bristles or gets irritated, say “Good night.”
Enjoy life safely. http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/jun/30/health.nhs
