you can see those 2 bumps on the outer right labia, the white ulcer on the inner right labia, and the 2 small bumps on the inner left labia. They don't itch or burn unless touched.

I feel like I already know the answer, I need reassurance this isn't the end of my sex and dating life

    Hey.

    This visually does look like herpes, but please see a doctor and get a swab and blood test. There is no point in worrying about something which is not officially diagnosed.

    This is not the end of your dating life. A lot of people with this condition go into shock and depression after finding out. You feel dirty, unlovable, pathetic, filled with regret. These feelings will pass and one day you will be more than ok. Life goes on, so be well please.

      This disease is not "the worst". Comments like this is what make people with the disease feel even more depressed about it!

      Having herpes does not affect your daily life, the initial impact is terrible and you can't help but feel sad, regretful and ashamed. But living with it is not as bad as people make it look like.

    hey girl, i just want you to know that all of us have experienced feeling like our life was over after finding out. just know that it is a lot to take in but it is not the end. the world portrays herpes to be some dosgusting thing. its not. you are not gross or dirty, it can happen to anyone. it helps so much to have the best support group. my inbox is always open to you.

    me and my bestie (also has it) have never been rejected from telling it (always better to tell than unwillingly put someone at risk and infect a new person) and chances are you will hardly notice having it.... the first outbreak is often the worse
