It does seem to claim that's when it started, and attributes an increase in the spread of HSV to the introduction of kissing.

- SiempreViernes 3y agoNo, the linked article is a summary of another article written to contradict the earlier researchers that made the claim about HSV spread being connected to the practice of kissing.
- vlovich123 3y agoYeah. I find it far more likely that HSV just emerged to transmit through kissing like Monkey Pox virus or HIV just “spontaneously” came about as an STI that could take advantage of existing human sex practices. I find it unlikely that a new human behavior is going to suddenly transmit a new disease. Humans naturally tend to quarantine such behaviors that directly spread disease in this way.
