Herpes and Parents

So...I am kind of freaking out because when I was first tested 4 days ago, my parents saw my Valtrex prescription and immediately got suspicious. Like I have mentioned in my previous post, I suffered from an HPV infection last year and they never got a clear story on that, but they knew that's what I had. For that reason, I think this newest development has them even more on the defensive. They haven't asked me about it (yet) but they've been acting strange around me ever since. Last night my father started grilling me about what cream I was intending to use (my doctor also prescribed Zovirax cream but I decided not to buy it because research proves it relatively ineffective) and what the ingredients were (for now they are under the impression that the cream is for HPV sores). I freaked out and told him "oh just some eseential oils I found on a website that are supposed to help with healing sores". He demanded I show him the website. Now I am scared because I have to find a website that talks about these oils without "WHAT YOU NEED TO PREVENT HERPES" written on it.

Maybe my fear of my parents finding out is irrational. If anyone is to be accepting of me and my newest condition, it should be them right? It's not that I think they will disown me. It's just that I am afraid of letting them down. They have high expectations for me...although most of them are ridiculous. They are also extremely over protective (eg. a boy is not even allowed in my room for more than 5 min before my mother starts eyeing me and giving me "time to go" signs). In their eyes, I'm just their baby girl who hasn't a clue what sex is about even though I'm an adult (21) and am more aware than I ever wanted to be.

My question is, what were you experiences telling your parents about herpes? Have any of you decided it is best to not confide this information to them? And if so, do you find it adds stress to your situation or has created a further divide in your relationship?

I'm not exactly close to my parents but I'm not estranged from them either. After all we all live in the same house--at least when school is not in session. I have 2 more weeks until school starts. I can't stop thinking about what would happen if the truth came out during that time. Thoughts? Advice? As always, thanks!
