Then all you're doing is making a distinction so that you can defend against a position nobody in this conversation was taking. Look through the thread. Is anyone making the case that the mere existence of the virus in a person is worthy of scorn? Or are all of the people you are bothering to make counter points to condemning those that carelessly transmit it? An act that you yourself claimed made someone a "jerk." It sounds to me like we are actually in agreement in practice, but that you want to use this as a spot to argue against a straw man with weak platitudes.

You're missing Echelon's point and clearly aren't aware of the reality of having HSV-1 or 2. There's a huge stigma just for having a cold sore. Kids are made fun of in school for it. People are thought of as being sexually promiscuous for catching it. That's not right. The passive spread of a disease that can be caught when the transmitters has no symptoms and may very well have never had symptoms is not something to cause shame.

  If you are aware, you can feel shedding when you are “asymptomatic”. You can treat this with acyclovir.
