Ever since I suspected genital herpes (GH) and was recently confirmed to be going through a primary outbreak of HSV-2 (ugh, the "bad" one), I have been researching the topic like crazy!

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...

Good afternoon, Yesterday was quite the day. I've always had a fear of STDs, I'm not sure why, I'm just a germo. I've gotten better as I've gotten older, but I've tried to be careful to protect myself. Yesterday, my girlfriend received test results from her gyno appointment. She apparently requested...

I have been in extreme pain the last 2 days from my outbreak due to my lesions. I'm constantly stinging down there and Ice seems to be my only relief because...
