Guess that's a pretty normal thing to do, lol, and I'm sure many others here have done the same. Anyway, I thought...

So I was just diagnosed with HSV2 after finding two small sores on my vagina. It wasn't a bad outbreak and it barely itched. I was more emotionally hurt. 10 days have passed and the blisters have been cured and to my horror. Two more sores have popped up in different places. One more on my vagina and...
