The last time I got checked I was clean, surprisingly. But I guess that may changed. A girl I've been meeting recently has told me yesterday that she went to the doctor because she felt pain in her vaginal area. Her doctor told her it was herpes.
I felt horrible because it seems I have given it to her. She's really young and inexperienced (20 and only had two partners before me) and she felt this pain after getting with me. While on the other hand, I have met more than a dozen women since the last time I got checked and I wasn't exactly safe all the time. I never had any symptoms of any kind so I always wishfully hoped I was clean.
To be sure, I am going to the doctor to get checked today. But the results will come back about a week later. In the mean time, I'm trying to come to terms with this. If I do have herpes, that means I will have to tell every girl in the future about it. I will have it forever and even condoms won't prevent it spreading.
The one thing that is weird to me is that how fast my partner's doctor knew about it. According to her, her doctor checked her vagina, scraped off some cells on the vaginal wall, and looked at it under a microscope all within her appointment. Is it possible to get checked for herpes that fast? Also the thing is that her doctor didn't give her an official diagnosis and just told her she has herpes, and also didn't tell her which type it is. I am not sure I trust this doctor, so I'm still hoping that her doc is a quack and my blood test will come back clean.
In case, I do have it, what are your tips for dealing with it? How do you tell your partners about it?
