First few days with it I'm going into the doc this weekend to be diagnosed. I'm so beyond depressed about all of this, I contracted it through getting a crappy BJ. I'm only 19 and I feel like my whole life is over.... what else does a 19 year old guy have to look forward to?

    Awe.. your life isn't over! Relax.. I thought my life was over as well. I'm only 18! But it's nothing to think or say that your life is over, a girl will come along and understand your condition. Have faith! Look forward to a great future, better yourself.. make the best out of it!

      I'm just beyond depressed so many bad things have happened in the past few months and this just adds to it. On top of that idk how I'm gonna tell the girl I love about this either...

      It happens to everyone... don't give up! Have faith.. it's not the end. Just be safe. Does she have it? Or you gave it to her? If she loves you she won't freak. I didn't walk out on my bf when he gave it to me but I walked out a little later!

    I kept telling myself its never going to be okay, but now im feeling more confident in myself and i know things are going to work out just fine! If a female will not love you for who you are Jacob than there was never love from her. God loves you, only god can judge you. Have faith, i do! I believe in one day there will be a cure for us Americans and when it comes you know what to expect from people and there attitudes about our condition. Keep calm, pray, and go to school. Live life and love your life. I cant say im not depressed about my condition because i am, but its nothing i can do but stay faithful to myself and not harm others.

    Well first off, you've got even been diagnosed yet, so you're jumping to conclusions that is what you have second, you have to have sores swabbed w in the first 48hrs after they appear or they will get a false negative and third, if it's a new infection, too soon to come up in blood, it takes about 4 months to build antibodies.

    Why are you assuming you have herpes?

      I was out of town Saturday and that was the first day I noticed sores, but what I've seen and read it fits it 100%

      Do they hurt and itch?

      I think you should go on the H Opportunity site to help get some much needed emotional support. You will read success stories on there .
