On Wednesday of this week I just got the news I had been diagnoised with herpes and took the news well at the doctors office probally because I was in a state of shock. Later on that day I think it really hit me and it is really hurting me. I feel like how could this happen to me and why me. Am I being punished for not waiting to have sex til I was married. I feel worthless now and how will anybody want to love me one day and have babies with me. I dont know how to feel about this. Ive been in so much pain with it. How do you live with it. I got put on valtrex. How do you tell your partern you just got diagonised with it and he needs to get checked. How do you not feel ashamed and embrassed about this. Does this get better for someone living with it. How do u tell someone you live this. How do you get few outbreaks and prevent them because this is the worst part. All of these questions run thru my head and my family and friends can only do so much for. I would love to have some of these questions answered and maybe feel a little bit better of myself. I think I'm at the lowest point in my life right now.
Hi, let it be the lowest point in your life. Herpes is a very common disease, millions of people have it. What is herpes? Herpes is a virus which lay dormant in your body and when your immune system is low an outbreak comes up. It is a stigma that makes you think that having herpes is something awful. Herpes doesn't affect fertility, it doesn't prevent you from having as many children as you will want, the rate of passing the virus from a mom to a baby is very low, if a woman have an outbreak during delivery they will recommend her C-section. Herpes is not the end of your life. There are a lot of resources for herpes singles. Join them, ask how to deal with relationship issues, how to tell a partner and so on. I advice you http://www.stidatingclub.com It has thousands of singles with herpes, a friendly community with a lot of info on herpes. Yes, you have herpes. So what?! Do not let it spoil and affect your life.
