>People getting on daily antivirals if they have HSV

That's not happening in Europe, only Americans are weird about HSV. Most Europeans ignore it and don't make a big thing out of it.

Is that really a thing? I live in Australia and I'm really careful about who I have sex with mainly due to not wanting to catch HSV-2. I'm an early 30's man and I turn down more potential sexual partners than not. Condom use prevents most STD's + unwanted pregnancy with a high degree of success but not HSV.

Average fitness has been declining. Only a small percentage of the population takes antivirals.

> - People getting on daily antivirals if they have HSV

Roughly 60% population have HSV-1 (and 10% HSV-2). I don't think that the percentage of people getting daily antivirals is the same.
