I think what you mean to say is, there is no cure. There certainly is treatment, and has been for many years. While you're sending out your warning, you might also advise your readers about Valacyclovir and its less effective sister, Acyclovir. Without statistics at hand and being uninterested enough to check yours, I'll assume they are correct. Perhaps I'm slipping between the odds. I've managed to make it to age 64 without using dams or condoms for oral sex and with no repercussions therefrom. For certain periods in my life, this is undoubtedly due partly to blind luck; but for the rest, I think we can attribute mutual monogamy. Not the most adventurous lifestyle, true, but it has its rewards, freedom from latex being one. Whatever the case and risks, I cannot imagine either giving or receiving oral stimulation through a barrier, and would probably forego the experience if one were required. You have my condolences.
