I am 16 years old and i was diagnosed with Genital Herpes(HSV 1) a little over a month ago. I contracted HSV 1 from my boyfriend, he had HSV 1 in his mouth and it was contracted through oral sex. If you thought that you couldnt get HSV 1 down there, think again! because thats what happened to me and it is possible. Im having to learn to live with the fact that i am 16 still a kid and now have this huge responsibility to carry around. It forces you to grow up real quick. I just want to be able to talk and share with people who are going through the same thing that i am.
