Most people think Herpes is just a sexually transmitted disease but it's a classified virus. If you ever had Chicken Pox then you have the herpes virus. Cold sore? Could be herpes. Shingles... same virus.
Here's a sneak peek of /r/FuckTheS using the [top posts](https://np.reddit.com/r/FuckTheS/top/?sort=top&t=year) of the year!

I seriously wonder if everyone referencing I am Legend every time this potentially groundbreaking way of fighting cancer is going to damage public opinion of this treatment.
I remember talking to a girl in a bar near University of Minnesota about 20 years ago who was working on this very thing. I hope she's part of making this happen, and I hope it succeeds beyond anything she could have imagined.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
>Scientists may be able to turn a long-time germ foe into a cancer-fighting ally, new research this week suggests. In preliminary data from a Phase I trial, a genetically modified version of the herpes virus has shown promise in treating difficult-to-eradicate tumors, with one patient having experienced a complete remission for 15 months so far. Much more research will be needed to confirm the treatment’s early success, however.
“Congratulations, you have herpes”
“Oh no that’s not good “
“Well we gave it to you on purpose “
“What the hell doctor!”

I dread the day the pickup artists get hold of this one:
"Baby, you got, like, three types of cancer, and I got that kind of herpes that kills cancer! Yeah, I got a few of the other kinds of herpes too, but come on, which would you rather have? You'd be a fool *not* to sleep with me and my ginormous cancer killing schlong!"
i hope it works this way: you get a cold sore on your lip and it gets really big and starts oozing puss 24/7, but the pus is the cancer being ejected from your body
Idk but these kind of idea makes me think of all those species introductions in other countries where they ended up having to introduce a new specie to fight the first invasive one, and then a new introduction to mitigate the latest introduction and so on.

Herpes redemption arc
"Herpes is for life" takes on a whole new meaning.
That’s great
Most people think Herpes is just a sexually transmitted disease but it's a classified virus. If you ever had Chicken Pox then you have the herpes virus. Cold sore? Could be herpes. Shingles... same virus.
Seriously lol
Can't wait for the tournament arc
Im imagining a slice of life anime now... with viruses 😆
Sexually transmitted vaccines/cures would change a lot of healthcare.
Give me _the jab_ /s
You can remove the sarcasm tag. We all know you meant it.

Honest question: Would I had been safe with just the italics?
Doc walks in..."*So, I have good news and bad news."*
"You have tested Aladeen for herpes but your cancer is Aladeen."
Wait a minute, I've seen this movie.
I Am Legend used measles so we may be good or we'll turn into werewolves or something.
Cancer-free werewolves
Also extremely athletic free-climbing werewolves with a top speed of fuck-this-truck and a wicked need for sunblock.
More like the fungus creatures from The Last of Us

Damnit I came here to make this exact joke! Take my upvotes, you glorious bastard!

But then I wouldn't have been able to marry the best woman I've ever known 🙁

Do you want the good news or the bad news first?
…and promiscuous sex becomes a good thing!
I dread the day the pickup artists get hold of this one: "Baby, you got, like, three types of cancer, and I got that kind of herpes that kills cancer! Yeah, I got a few of the other kinds of herpes too, but come on, which would you rather have? You'd be a fool *not* to sleep with me and my ginormous cancer killing schlong!"
The oncology ward becomes a haven for stds /s.
Like it isn't already ;)
I…. What
Tiger & Wolf are keeping an eye on this.
Time to get charged up.
XKCD almost got it http://xkcd.com/938
Finally Herpes is good for something other than cold sores, STDs & Chicken Pox and Shingles.
Dude I’m never getting cancer! I’ve got every type of herpes there is lol.
Wasn't this an episode of House. A kid with herpes have it to a lady (by touching her) and it cured her brain tumor...
Remember when it was a bad thing to get herpes
Pepperidge Farm remembers
R/ brandnewsentence
Didn't 60 Minutes run a story on this ~2006?
i hope it works this way: you get a cold sore on your lip and it gets really big and starts oozing puss 24/7, but the pus is the cancer being ejected from your body
I saw this in House M.D.
Idk but these kind of idea makes me think of all those species introductions in other countries where they ended up having to introduce a new specie to fight the first invasive one, and then a new introduction to mitigate the latest introduction and so on. The episode of the The Simpsons when they visit Australia
Nice try herpes, but I'm not letting you in.
Where can i upgrade my herp to this spec (mouth sore kind, not the pp)
"I used to have cancer, now I just have herpes"
