Bottom Herpes?

i had not long moved from a busy city town to a quiet town and had always had a VERY active sex life and only ever contracted genital warts which got treated. I went out one night in town and managed to pull a couple of blokes. we went back to mine and had a threesome i was quite drunk but thought nothing more of it. About 2 weeks later, i started getting a bit of pain in my anus area and just shrugged it off. over a few days the pain got worse and i tried creams such as germoline and sudo cream (which i would norm use as sometimes when it was the time of month i would get sore because of the pads i wear) and it didn't clear up, it got so painful that i couldn't hardly walk. i phoned the doctor to make an appointment to see if they could shed some light on it. so i went in for an examination of my bottom to which the doctor asked if i didn't mind if he got another doctor to double check so i said no i didn't mind and the other doctor said that i had herpes. i have heard of it before but didn't know anything about it. i was very shocked as i had never had anal sex in my life and was wondering how it had got there. he explained about the virus and that i was given some tablets (which i can't remember the name of it ) and cream called lip-sore 5% cream acyclovir. it cleared it right up within a few days. part from one outbreak, i have been free from it for nearly 2 years. If your ever unsure go to the doctors.

Date rape...

I met this guy at Walgreens and he asked me out on a date. He was hot, from Alabama and only in town for four months or so! At first I agreed to just show him around town, places to eat, the movie theater etc. and that's just what we did. I showed him "fast food row" the grocery stores, the mall and we hit it off really well. He asked me if we could go on a date, his cell phone was "broken" so he called me from his hotel room. Two days later, in sweats so it wasn't like I was asking for it, we went out and grabbed a bite to eat and then went to the local pub. We were having a good time. Over the course of an hour I had three drinks he had a lot more than that. I decided I was ready to go home so I agreed to take him to his hotel room because he was pretty drunk. We pulled up to the part that was his room, I parked and he started talking. He leaned in for a kiss and I gave him one, he leaned in for another and took the keys out of the ignition and then leaned over and started to kiss me and grabbed me by my throat. I said no over and over, told him I wouldn't say anything if he let me go. The more I struggled the more he squeezed my throat. This wave of calm came over me and I didn't say a word, I just let him do his thing and when he got done he said something about not fighting meant the cops would never detain him and it would be a he said she said! He kissed me got out of my car and tossed the keys in the seat. I sat there for an hour in total shock. The only thing that brought me to was the ring of my cell phone, it was my mom asking if I was ok and saying that my kids missed me. I started the car in a daze and pulled out of the parking lot, my cell phone rang again this time it was him. He laughed and said something like couldn't leave me huh, you can come back and I can give you a round two. I mumbled something about it being illegal to talk and drive and I hung up. I had never told a living soul about that night. Fast foward a year later, still uncomfortable with dating I find a gyno I really like. I am there for my pap and she sees something she doesn't like. She asks me when my last partner was, when my last pap was. I spill my guts about the rape and about getting tested after but not telling them what had happened, and that I hadn't been comfortable dating since, so he was my last. She says she thinks it is just HPV but runs all the tests and says that because I didn't say what had happened and I didn't ask for HIV, HSV and HPV tests specifically that they probably didn't run them. Five days later I get the call, no HPV but I do have HSV-2. I don't know what to do! I finally broke down and told my mom about the rape, the hardest thing I have ever done! I feel lost and angry. My mom says he probably did it because he knew he had herpes and didn't think he could have a normal relationship. I wish I could track him down and string him up, I am so angry now but I refuse to let him win. I am grateful that I am still alive, I am happy that I walked away with just HSV! I still feel lost though!
