Unlike syphilis and gonorrhoea, which can be treated with drugs, the real life-long infection that we all dread is HERPES. It's a virus that stays with you and keeps flaring up when you least expect it. It ruins many relationships and potential ones. If you're single and looking to meet a future partner/wife, you've got to confess that you're a herpes carrier.
