Can a HSV2 infected person marry

by venky652, Jul 20, 2008 04:43PM
I am (28 year old) infected with HSV2 for the past 14 years and tested negative for HIV. I am about to marry a girl who is negative for both the viruses. I have two questions here

1. Is there any chance of me infected with HIV
2. Is marriage a no do or a do with certain precautions.

Answer to the above questions will give me some relief from the mental torture.

Thank you very much in advance

Can an HSV2 infected person marry? Are you in the U.S.? Last time I checked, marriage was legal in 48 states for straights and legal in 2 states for gays. HSV2 doesn't have anything to do with those laws.

So the answer is, yes, a person with HSV2 can marry.

Sorry, legal in all 50 states for straights. Gays can only marry in Mass. and Cali. But herpes doesn't have much to do with it. If it did, 80% of the population couldn't get married.
