Genital herpes can be more difficult to diagnose than oral herpes since most HSV-2-infected persons have no classical symptoms. Each year, about 23.6 million people ages 15 to 49 get the disease. In the United States, only 10 percent to 25 percent of those with the virus are aware they have it. and at the same time, there are many herpes and STD dating website appeared, [ HerpesSupport,net ] is the biggest one. It has more than 680,000 active members.

I totally agree with you.

@Imnotyourfriend212 hey just remember that the people who really love you won't care what you have and will love you for who you are. You are beautifal and most important you are you and never forget who you are because of something like this.

I have genital herpes type 1. Every night I pray that the guy who gave it to me can be murdered in a very painful way. It sucks because no one wants to have sex with me, and the ones who do only use me for THEIR pleasures. I feel like I have to sleep around and hope that someone will like me or want to touch me because I feel so disgusting. I just want to be loved even with this monster but maybe im not worth it. idk...
