In my experience poly folks are way more ready and able to talk about this than mono folks. Regular testing and using barriers seems to be the baseline, while the nominally mono folks don’t deal with this because why should they, they’re monogamous!

Yup. 'Paperwork' is fine to talk about in the poly world, as is honest communication about how to work around it.

I've even had partners in the past with HSV1 or HSV2 and have tested negative for years after, because we were safe and worked around outbreaks.
