I HATE OUTBREAKS!!!

by Latrica
(Alabama)

My first time having sex was 16..about 2wks later my genital area was extremely broken out...my cycle had started and I thought it was friction from my pads that cause my bottom to be Chased like severe diaper rash..after a week my glands became swollen in my groin...and my labia was blistered...my nose was runny and I could hardly walk normal...and I grew a new mole at the base of my vagina..funny looking cauliflower mole...it was time to tell my mama who was a nurse...so she decided she needed to see... and she took a look and said "Awwwww my baby!!!...my baby my baby"..."put your clothes on"... "no school today" "we are going to the Dr."....That was a lonnnnnggggg drive...I had to tell her who I had been having sex with...and how long...Amazing...cause this was my 1st time..with my 19 year old boyfriend(I lied and said he was younger)...long story short....I had GENITAL WARTS(well one) and GENITAL HERPES @ 16....was given an HIV test..results later came back NEGATIVE(Thank God!!)....the wart was froze off and now @ 35 I never saw the wart again...BUT THOSE OUTBREAKS!!!!!! Are from HELL!!..I may have 2-3 a year...lasting around 3-5 days...And it ALWAYS START WITH A TINGLE....AND A SWOLLEN LYMPH NODE IN MY GROIN!!! And at full outbreak..my labia is swollen...always the same side...I take no meds...and besides my mama..and the dr that delivered my 3 healthy kids NO ONE KNOWS...my husband has been blessed to not have gotten this...and I TOTALLY REFRAIN FROM SEX STARTING WITH THE FIRST TINGLE...I know that if my blister not sore to touch...then I'm nearly done.I learned that from my Dr while giving birth..with my husband....I call it my ingrown hair...UTI...Bacteria infection..whatever...to keep him safe...and we have been together 13 years...I have noticed that my hair is turning grey in my pubic area..and I noticed that on some of the pics of people herpes...anyway...I try to stay stress free to prevent outbreaks...and it helps MOST OF THE TIME...BUT I HATE OUTBREAKS!!!! CURE PLEASE SOON!!!

Tell your husband
by: Anonymous

as long as you've been with your husband you may want to share the news. Because worse case scenerio, if he ever gets it (God forbid) he may think you've been cheating and that would be the worst!

It was before I had kids...I was 16 when I contracted this,and all of my kids were vaginal and healthy. If you happen to be broke out during delivery,the dr will do a C-section. So don't be scared...be fruitful ...

Telling hubby
by: Anonymous

That's great that you were able to tell your mum- I got herpes 20 years ago at 19yo & to this day I would Never tell my dear mother! It would stress her out too much.
I do think it's best that your husband knows as it's like keeping an important secret about yourself from your best mate/Hubby. My husband knew before we got married & it showed real love as he was willing to love & commit to me "herpes and all".
Why couldn't you tell your Hubby? I would tell him everything & apologize for keeping it from him for all these years.
The honesty is more important than a cure for herpes as it's our integrity & purity of character that shines through in these rough times.

It takes guts, but your Hubby deserves the truth. You will be alright..

learn to deal with it
by: butterfly2021

i have it my kids dad gave it 2 me. worst day of my life!!! i cried for weeks. my son was bout 3. and i kept havin sex with him anyway cause i thought 2 myself no one is gone want me with this. well almost 2yrs ago i gave birth 2 a beautiful baby girl. i had a vaginal delivery. doctors made sure there were no outbreaks while i was in labor. she came out negative!! so u can still have kids n all just keep it in control. me n him r no longer 2gether but i have learned 2 be honest bout it tho. I'm with someone new now and i let him know from the jump and we are still together. i have had to learn to live with it. i still think bout it all the time. but another thing 2 they r some people out there that r just passing it around just cause they have it n can't deal with it. so to whoever is reading this if ur not in a serious relationship wear condoms or if ur a virgin wait till you meet the special someone!!! u live and u learn!! I'm at peace with it now.
