you know. i think i asked myself that same question lol.

when i went to the doctor the first time, && they told me i had

hsv-she told me its not good to shave down there with or without hsv. for the simple fact that you could cut yourself, or infect a hair folicial.

but i will tell you this. i still do it. just be careful when shaving && keep it clean && dry down there && you should be okayy.
