who have you had sex with recently? these should be the people out getting STD checks..
I have HSV-1 genital herpes for receiving oral sex. How did you contract the virus? Do some thinking and try to figure out how this could of happened.
Are you taking valtrex? I highly recommend this if you are sexual active. It will not only reduce the risk of you spreading the virus it will also cause fewer outbreaks. I use to take Valtrex once daily when i was first diagnosed but unfortunately do not have the money to pay for them any longer.
I was diagnosed when i was 17.. your 19 either age it sucks. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you.. dont let this diagnoses set you back from your dreams, goals, and plans for the future. I almost let this happen.. after i was diagnosed i didnt even want to live. I was extremely depressed, took 2 weeks off of school, and just didnt want to be around anyone. To add to my stress I was diagnosed with Ocular Herpes 6 months later. Some advice to all with herpes! If you wear contacts be sure to wear them properly or the Herpes virus can spread to your eye! This happened to me, and I am now in school working towards becoming a nurse soo i can educate others on STD's specifically Herpes because many don't know how serious it is.
Soo i hope this helps you out a little. Feel free to send me a message or a email rissadiss@yahoo.com if you have any more questions or simply wanna chat with someone else just like you! PS. im 19 also.
