Herpes Support

When people find out you have herpes or obtain the email address that you use for your herpes support groups, why is it that people have to make such a big deal about it. It's NOT the end of the world and things happen to all kinds of people. It just amazes me how people scramble to try and hide the fact that they have herpes. I mean, what business is it of theirs anyway if you're not sleeping with or kissing them. Chances are they too have the virus. Many folks have it and don't even know they do. Society is just so ignorant when it comes to herpes and I say "What's the big deal".
