To leave

I have been with the same partner for over 8 years. He knew about the disease within the first month we were together and accepted me.

Scared, Lost, Looking for hope

So I just got back from the doctor. I pretty much knew what to expect when I went in but hearing her confirm my fear wasn't easy.  What I have looks a lot like herpes.  I won't know for sure until the culture comes back, but I'm no fool.  I'm 24 years old, and have slept with a total of three men.  My first outbreak... Read moreChevron
