My Treatment Story for Herpes: Keep on Living! Happy With Herpes! Living with herpes or any other sexually transmitted disease can often prove to be difficult.
United States -- Free-Press-Release.com -- Mar 02, 2017 -- This is my story, hope that it is useful for all people with herpes. Details of my condition: I have been diagnosed now for over 11 years. At 22 years old, I started dating a man who I thought was going to be the love of my life. A few months into our relationship, I started having my first outbreak. I remember itching so bad and at first I thought was that maybe I broke my skin from being intimate. I asked my partner at that time to look and tell me what was going on with me, and he informed me they were pimples.I though that was weird, because I never had them before, but attempted to pop them.

When I told my partner about my condition and if he knew anything about it, he denied the whole thing. He told me he does not have it and he does not know how I ended up with genital herpes. He was extremely calm about the whole situation and was quick to end it as fast as possible and move on to something else. At the time, I was so scared, ashamed, and helpless that my self-esteem dropped by 50%. My partner did not seem to be affected by my news one bit. I hated him for it at that moment. He was not concerned for me or for himself. I was looking for some affection; hug, kiss, yelling, shock..anything, but nothing. Later throughout our
