Never Too Cute For The Herpes Monster

I am a 30 year old african american female. I have had this monster since i was about 18 19 years old. I have had these ugly outbreaks on my mouth for as long as I can remember.

dormancy length

She went on a girls weekend and about 10-12 days after getting back from that she broke out with herpes (it's been diagnosed by an MD). She says that she got it from a boyfriend and just...
