I have been with a girl for nearly a month who i love alot. She told me a week in that she has herpes. I decided after long thought i still want to be with her, I also have herpes now. I dont regret making love to her she is an amazing person it is not her fault she has it. *Condoms do not protect you from herpes!!!!*
You can catch it from kissing, using someone else’s lip balm, drinking out of a cup of an infected person. If they give you head, basically anything to do with saliva or vaginal/penis area … 1-9 people have it. 90% dont experience symptons. I have experienced symptons slightly i have a small red bump on the shaft of my penis and a lil ulcer like thing on my lip. I guess im quite lucky. If you do find out you have it dont stress it makes it worse. Also go to the doctors tell him/her you have herpes and they will prescribe you some antibiotics to minimise symptons and speed up recovery. It’s not the end of the world!!!!!! please note the 1st outbreak is the worst and will last up to 20days.. after that you may get it 2-5 times a year and gets less and less every year

Be safe, it is not just trusting who you are with it is having them get tested with you and the results giveen to both of you at the same time! No games no lies just test results!!!!!

Even when you do know them, you do not!! Beware, even if you trust them; they may not care or be embarrassed and not know how to tell you and guess what you have dated 6 months and ready to further the relationship and HELLO. Do not ever think you know anyone or have waited long enough, get tested before you take the next step and if you do not, Well the ending is not a pretty sight.

yes i truly feel what does herpes do as I really did have too but I have not yet diagnosed. But as for the symptoms is, I believe I have it. As long as you can live with it,you can over come the lessions or blisters,its a matter of managing stress..gods speed to all

To all that have contracted the herpes virus I am sorry that there are ingnorant people in this world that are uncompassionate and non-understanding. I do not have the virus, but I am researching it for an up and coming report that I have due for my Anatomy class. My classmates and I chose herpes as a topic of discussion, becacuse there are so many people unaware of this type of STD. To educate yourself is the best way to keep safe wether you have the disease or not. I have learned so much from my research about herpes and my heart goes out for thoes of you who have it, but as someone said earlier it is not the end of the world and your lives will go on. Stay strong, be happy and live life to the fullest.

I have herpes and when I found out i was devistated plus I was pregnant with my first child. All I was worried bout was my unborn child and weather he would get it but thank god he didn’t. I take valtrex it helps in not having to many lesions (outbreaks). You can’t get rid of it so you just learn to live with it.
