I contracted herpes in 2001 from a regular WG friend. God, I was so scared... It hurt like hell in the first outbreak -- and in my case there was no denying that I had herpes... a blind man could have diagnosed it. I had to avoid sex with my wife for a couple weeks until the outbreak cleared. Since we were having sex less than once a month on average, that was really not difficult.
The doctor prescribed acyclovir, which I have taken religiously (with the exception of a few disruptive periods). It works like a charm... no outbreaks, no pain, no stigma... no anything, really.
Herpes is a complete health and lifestyle non-issue, if you get treated, The only reason that it gets any attention at all is that it threatens to blow the cover for so many cheating men and women.
Have fun, CGP | |
