Hello there everyone, I am Jaime and well I believe I have herpes. I had a friend who had it who was a nice gal. However me knowing the risk took it and we had intercourse and well I think I may have no had it. I must wait for a month to see if I can get a test just to be sure but the thing is I feel like I am getting cold sores on my lips already (2 small brown spots). I blame myself for this and so far only 2 female cousins and one male friend know about this. They are giving me support and they have told me that it is possible I may be over reacting and that I may just have a cold sore they told me to go get tested. I have pawned some jewelry so I can save up money to take a test and well I have enough to take a test I must however wait before I could. I feel so terrible because I used protection and it still didn't work. I feel like I deserved it for being so reckless and saying yes. I just feel very sad about this. I joined this website to share my story with you all and to read yours
