    I remember when I told my parents I got herpes.  Well, I didn’t exactly tell them, my sister did.  I was studying abroad at the time and the mail from my doctor got routed to my parents’ house.  My mom, being a typical *concerned* mom, asked my sister what the doctor’s mail could be about.  My sister already... Read moreChevron

    Herpes is not a death sentence folks!!!

    I would like to share my story with you. I got herpes even before I started having intercourse. When I was 18 I was fooling around and received oral for the first time and had herpes 2 weeks later. That was my first real experience with extreem depression. It was terrible folks.

    Online STD Communication and Weakening the Stigma

    I want to add my own thoughts about inSPOT, the website that allows you to notify an ex-lover that he/she may have an STD, and elaborate on what healthgal wrote about a few days ago.  After hearing about this service through its recent media buzz, I was instantly intrigued.  I think it's a great idea to give people another means of... Read moreChevron
