Do you think everyone's HSV-2 status should be public information?
At the end of the day, the problem seems to be people with HSV-2 not disclosing, infecting responsible people and hiding behind medical privacy laws to gaslight their victims
People with public HSV-2 status could date each other and clean people could lookup someone's HSV-2 status before hooking up to ensure they use a condom so they will be protected
I know people will say this will cause people not to test or go to underground STD clinics but it could also cause greater awareness of HSV-2 and people would start demanding HSV-2 tests of their partners
