I guess I should add that relatively few people get herpes from sex.
A good portion of people get herpes during childhood. Oral flare ups can be passed with platonic cheek kissing, and many people get it from their parents.
80-90% of the population has the virus that causes it within their system by adulthood. Most show no symptoms or very minor, ignorable symptoms, indistinguishable from a mosquito bite or minor, temporary rash.
For some reason, our school health classes tried to convince us this was a serious and horrible sexually transmitted disease to scare us into not touching each other ever.
Why do large religiously-backed organizations always consider lying to kids not only acceptable, but their first go-to idea?
…Or is that one of those questions that answers itself?

It’s very common. Also known as “cold sores” or “canker sores”.
A quick check reveals that 67% of the human population has herpes.

Walky has Face Herpes?
Too Much Information.
So I guess Walky in this universe can grow facial hair better than DoA Walky.
Well, he’s a little bit older, so.
He’s like a decade older at this point.
