I am 20 and was diagnosed with HSV1 gential herpes a year ago. I was not in a relationship either at the time. Since then, I have been in 2 relationships and they both fell in love with me. Also, all except one friend is perfectly fine with it and I have A LOT of friends. Herpes is not curable but its liveable. In high school I was the innocent girl and had the "perfect" life. It just goes to show these things can happen to anyone. I still have my days that I get upset about it but there are good people out there that can and will accept it in you. I promise. I know it doesn't feel like it trust me. Be strong. I have faith you will be ok. If you need anything you can talk to me.
