My 15 years old and i was diagnosed with genital herpes but Im still waiting on my test to come back. I've been in Shock ever since I found out. I feel so disgusted with myself! I'm ONLY 15! I have a whole life ahead of me and now I have to live with this damn STD. I did something that probably a very bad 15 yr old girl would do. I got very drunk with my boyfriend and my bestfriend, and we.. we had a 3 some. Right??! How could I have done that??? So with that being my cause of my STD im EXTRA disgusted with myself. 2 days later i started my period and that's when I started to break out. It's the WORST. I'm still broke out but its healing (very slowly) I told my boyfriend that I have it and he's hurt with me, but thankfully he's still with me. Some how I got it but my bestfriend is clean and so is my boyfriend. So far I'm the only one that broke out. How could I have gotten this std if my bestfriend didn't have it before we had sex nor my boyfriend? That's the part i don't understand. I'm sad this happened to me and only me (so far). The worst part is my mom doesn't know yet until she gets that Call back from the doctor. My mom even thinks I'm a Virgin!!! So this will be super bad. I'm such a terrible daughter. I need someone to help me cope with this Even though Maybe I don't really deserve it.

    Sweetheart u and Noone else deserves this. You made a mistake as we all do. Your bf and best friend is lucky so far. They can still be infected and never have an outbreak. There is so much information out there regarding herpes. You need to tell your mother or a very trusting adult so they can help you and get you on the right regimen. Good luck. We are all in this gather if you need any advice I will be glad u help as much as I can. This is not the end of the world or end of your life.

    I had very successfull life. Herpes does not stop you from being successfull.

    Spend a good quality time in efucating your self about herpes.

    I wish you all the best

    Just because your boyfriend or friend didn't have a breakout doesn't mean they don't have herpes. Somebody has "sheded". Shedding is when a person has herpes but no outbreak but still can spread the disease. This happened to me from my ex. I have break outs all the time and he has had none. A lot of people with herpes takes valtrex, use the cream for the bumps, take lysine, use baking soda, apple cider vinegar and a whole bunch of stuff. You have to almost test out stuff to see what works best for you. Stress will make you have a breakout. Most of my break outs are from stress. Even if you don't have a breakout and just symptoms: tingling, flu like symptoms or even headaches you still have to take meds ?? Feel free to ask any questions most importantly talk to your doctor

    Don't beat yourself up about, just educate yourself about it and it will get better. I just recently found out I have and I had to break up with my boyfriend bc I don't have time to stress and have another outbreak I'm trying to be great lol, but really educate yourself on it I'm 27 and just learned so much more about herpes in the last week. Look at the brighter side it could've been worst you can live with this it's just going to take time for you to become comfortable in your own skin again I'm working on. You take care.

    Love Tiff
