Ok, this isn't so bad......you watch t.v. right?? Unfortunately this is a disease that cannot be cured but can be controled with medication. The important thing is to protect yourself EVERYTIME!!!!! Go talk with your doctor and ask for the best treatment, you may be on this the rest of your life, just so you know. This doesnt have to ruin your life, now you have to learn to live with it. Your doctor is the one with the best answers, so go make that appointment to talk with them.

So sorry, and good luck!

Did you tell them to get checked? You need to talk to your mom and everyone else involved and explain that this isn't ONLY your fault. They should keep quiet and it isn't something that EVERYONE needs to know.

You did the right thing, you told the boys you slept with. That takes a lot of courage :)

With proper treatment, herpes can be controlled, and many men will not get it. But ALWAYS play it safe by using a condom.

Results of a nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection. Between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, the number of Americans with genital herpes infection increased 30 percent.

Genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of five). This may be due to male-to-female transmissions being more likely than female-to-male transmission.

The surest way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, including genital herpes, is to abstain from sexual contact, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected.

Genital ulcer diseases can occur in both male and female genital areas that are covered or protected by a latex condom, as well as in areas that are not covered. Correct and consistent use of latex condoms can reduce the risk of genital herpes only when the infected area or site of potential exposure is protected. Since a condom may not cover all infected areas, even correct and consistent use of latex condoms cannot guarantee protection from genital herpes.

Persons with herpes should abstain from sexual activity with uninfected partners when lesions or other symptoms of herpes are present. It is important to know that even if a person does not have any symptoms he or she can still infect sex partners. Sex partners of infected persons should be advised that they may become infected. Sex partners can seek testing to determine if they are infected with HSV. A positive HSV-2 blood test most likely indicates a genital herpes infection.

Consider yourself lucky it was just Herpes-it could have been a lot worse. Use protection during sex from now on and remember
it only takes one time to catch something.

there's someone out there for everyone

take it as a non fatal lesson, others are not that lucky. u should get tested for other things as well
