go on postivesingles.com. This is an online community where you'll find people who have hsv1, hsv2, whatever ails you. So how do you know you have herpes btw? Herpes is spread by skin to skin contact that's why it's so easy to pass. It's all a chance! That's why they say abstinence is the number one way to prevent stds. I think they're doing a poor job of explaining stds in highschool....well as far as this 25 year old girl is concerned. I just now learned about herpes and it's craazy how 50% of our generation will have genital herpes by age 50 so don't worry you're definitely not alone. 90% of people don't even know they have it because they don't have symptoms.  Good luck girl and like I said ....time will heal this and you will be wanted, you just can't screw around like many people still can because they are carefree they haven't had the wake up call you have. Look at it like that. When you are with someone I bet you are going to be looking for real love this time. Be strong. Take care of yourself. Keep your immune system good. Drink green tea, apply hydrocortisone to the skin that itches, take aleve as an anti inflammatory. ok hope that helps.
