AH! I thought that didn't sound like somethng you would say but there are so many people around here that don't know anything about sexual health that it is easy to misunderstand. Yes, you are right HIV took the spotlight away from any number of other STDs. I am exactly the right age to have grown up with HIV/AIDS as an issue for most of my life and I don't think I ever heard anyone my age in school mention herpes. Chickens coming home to roost comes to mind.
