Does Genital Herpes Lead To HIV?
>Unfortunately, I learned that my brother has genital herpes last night. He is very scared, and even thought about suicide. But he believes that he can spread it by sharing food and that he will eventually get HIV and die early. I told him this wasn't true, but I just wnated to make sure.
