hi I just wanted to ask on here if anyone had been diagnosed with genital warts. I got diagnosed last year in july and since then I've been so depressed I just cant seem to get over it...I'm constantly checking for new ones. It is on my mind 24/7 at the clinic they said it's what takes up so much time at the clinic as they are so common but I just feel like they've said that to make me feel better about myself. I just want to hear from anyone who has had/have it... it would be nice to hear someone else's experience and hopefully it would help me try to come to terms with it.. I feel so unloveable and like I'm disgusting 😔 if there is anyone out there could you possible take the time to tell me how you coped? thank you 😔

    I was diagnosed with Herpes an hour ago. I have always had huge sex drive. I haven't slept with a lot of people. I'm pretty sure that I got it from the most recent person I had sex with because I've never had symptoms before. My self esteem has completely gone. It's out the window.

      It's HSV-2. She swabbed a place that was painful to the touch at the time.
