HERPES

Talk About Herpes | No Bladder Infection

Experience…
I had sex for the first time with my boyfriend who I trusted last year. We were on and off for about 3 years. He never once told me he had the disease, even when we had a conversation about stds he still stayed quiet about it. We broke up last year and all of a sudden I started having what I though were bladder infections(what I now know weren`t the normal kind). I just did`t feel right, and I had that weird tingly feeling. So Id go to the doctors and they`d prescribe antibiotics for a bladder infection. Until yesterday I noticed part of my genitals were swollen so this time I went to the woman`s health clinic confused. The doctor told me I had herpes.. I was beyond shocked. I literally thought this disease was the end of my life. I mean its hard enough finding a nice normal guy, but now this added on top of it is so discouraging. I feel like I`ll never meet someone who will want to be with me knowing I now have this. And what about having children? I would never want to pass this on to another person, even if my symptoms seem mild. I haven`t decided on whether or not to confront my ex. or if theres even a point to it now. [46834]
