I don't really think that's fair because some people CAN have repeatedly bad herpes outbreaks. Does Valtrex or similar (if you have medical insurance) prevent this in all or most cases?
I know that herpes can be an irritating nuisance, but why would I assume it would be that when it can also be very painful and uncomfortable? I think it's important to have complete information and a realistic idea about the risks of herpes, but I certainly wouldn't judge not wanting (what could potentially feel like) chicken pox in your crotch as a "failure to learn."
