How doomed is it (STD related)
I've only begun punting for less than a year (and begun having sex at all for that matter), as you all could tell from my limited post history. I've only ever been with a few WGs, a couple of escorts, etc.
And now I'm going through an outbreak of what looks to be herpes. This kinda sucks because its something I never expected, really. Some of the other STDs probably, at least it'd be curable.
My doctor did a blood test, and it came back negative. But I had read (and my doc tells me I read and overthink too much) that blood tests for herpes aren't effective early after first infection, as there is possibly a lack of antibodies.
He reassured me again, but this time I'll find a specialist to get it looked at better.
I've read the stigma that herpes is not all that bad, after your initial outbreak, there's a good chance you don't see one for a good amount of time. It still sucks, though. I guess this means my punting time is over, knowlingly going around with herpes in my body doesn't
feel very nice. There was a bit of copium that I could sneak it by, but moral compass exists. I don't want to ask who or how many of you have herpes or "Oh, it's not so bad, you overestimate its power..." but some feedback in general would be nice.
Thanks guys. | |
