I am only 19 years old and I had 3 partners so far but contracted herpes by my last partner..It all started when i had first sex with him on July 24, 2009 .. couple days after i noticed two small lumps on my ovaries. i really thought nothing cause it went away. until i started urinating like 25 times a day. Me thinkin it was a UTI i never went to get tested. So sex continued without condom. Then on august 8 i had sex with him and the symptoms came right after. Burning when urinating, swollen lymphs , and foul ordery discharge. I told my sister and she told me to get tested for herpes. In denial I didn't got treated for UTI and when i told my boyfirend at the time he lied about going to the doctor. I knew he was lying. I later developed a lession which they had to scrub and drew my blood..I was tested positive and my life shattered before .. Outbreak after outbreak i knew it would only get worse if i continue to stress. So now i ask forgiveness from god and moved on with my life.. I never told him so he still doesn't know so im sure he continues doing it..Well he knows.. I will admit i continued to have sex with him cuse I felt he was all i had to get but i had to wake up and realize its either pregnant and having both HIV and HERPES.. So i let go. I dont know if i will ever find happiness but someday i m sure i will.. I believe all things happen for reason. Even thought i was only sexually active for a year before it happen. So i continue to live life.. Its not as bad but im dealing with it one day at a time.......... PLEASE BE SAFE OUT THERE GUYS CUASE THEY WILL NOT TELL U IF THEY ARE INFECTED,,, TAKE IT FROM SOME ONE WHO KNOWS,,, GOD BLESS
