phone call literally changed my life...

I was just watching a movie on a beautiful Friday afternoon. My phone rang, and realized it was a blocked number. I answered, knowing it was the result's from my doctor visit. The word Herpes pierced my ear and my stomach dropped. "You will have them for the rest of your life", my doctor informed me. After talking to my doctor I had to sit down. So many thing's were racing through my mind. The fact that I will now carry this throughout my life. Will it hurt my boyfriend? Will he be turned off now every time we do something sexual? Will it hurt my mom when she finds out? Will I be okay? Who can I talk to about this and find out more? How do people with herpes deal with this? I told my boyfriend I would call him as soon as i found out about this. He was as shocked as I was for we never had sex and he is clean from any STD's. The last thing I want is for me to give him this horrible thing. As confusing and scared as we are, I have to face reality. I have Herpes and I am 18. My whole life has changed, just within these 10 minutes.
