i might have herpes

Posted , 5 users are following.

hello i’m 15 years old and i’ve been having sex with one of my good friends for about 2 months now. we don’t usually use protection and he’s been with multiple people. about a week ago my vagina starting itching very badly and now from me itching it so much it is very sore and burns. i was looking and noticed about 4 small bumps one on each of the vaginal lips and two on my clitoris. i’m very scared and don’t know what to do or how to tell my mom as she doesn’t even know i’ve ever had sex

    okay so a little update: i told my mom before we went to the doctor i thought it might be herpes and when we got there the doctor confirmed it looks like herpes and took a culture sample. she also prescribed me acyclovir. both of my parents know and were very supportive my dad told me he always will love me no matter what and that we’re going to deal with this as a family

      Great parents! did you told the person that might have given it t you? When I told the person who gave me in 2015 until this day he denies it. Please don't stress and now that you have your parents to help you through this. You'll be fine.
