Again, not in conservative populations where marriage is the typical way to have sexual relations. Syria is one example that you quoted. A smart person would get his/her partner tested if they suspect anything before getting married.
- yakshaving_jgt 3y agoI'm trying to work out which logical fallacy you're employing here. No True Scotsman? Personal Incredulity? In any case, assuming that infidelity or anything else sinful/haram doesn't occur in "conservative" populations strikes me as frightfully naïve. The data is in. Arabs get herpes too.
- za3faran 3y agoInfidelity does happen, but it's much much less common and is severely looked down upon. Edit: it seems that HSV-1 is not an STD, but it causes genital herpes if engaging in oral sex? Which can explain the big gap between the two in conservative cultures.
