A place to
ask questions about HPV, HSV, and other STDs
I hope
you have wonderful days .
Never
stop what you are doing!
 Hi Angela! I was so glad to stumble on your site ! You sound like
you are completely at peace with having HSV.... and that is so
encouraging...I wish I could say I was at peace with it ! I've had
it for 4 years, and I definitely go through my ups and downs. I got
it from my boyfriend at the time and I guess I haven't totally
forgiven him yet..... I saw someone's story on your site that made
me look at my part in catching it....The story made me realize that
I'm the one that LET my ex touch me even after I found out by
accident that he had been exposed to herpes a few months earlier. I
had never really thought of it that way ! I had a choice, and I
chose to put myself at risk, so how can I hate him for it ??!! :)
I really want to thank you for your efforts as a patient advocate
for this ! I admire you so much ! I think the worst part of having
this is the shame..and your site has definitely shed some new light
on that.
Thank you again ! ~L
Your story is very inspiring and educational. This virus is a very
unfortunate one solely for the reason that it is more of a social
disease; ridicule, the sense of outcast, and perhaps more difficult
having to disclose this to your partner not knowing how things might
turn out. However, empowering messages such as yours are very
effective and can help people understand it more. I have read it,
commend you on your efforts to transmit this healthy information and
just wanted to thank you and hope you can continue to affect others'
minds in a positive manner. ~D
I am not really sure how to express what I felt once I found your
site so I'll give you a condensed version of my story.
I am 32 yr old guy from a VERY rural area in northern Minnesota, the
type of place where everybody knows everybody. One little gas
station and a handful of resorts. A place where the closest doctor,
shopping center or movie theater is an hour drive on two lane roads.
Needless to say when I found out my long time girlfriend brought
back herpes from the big city along with her other long term
boyfriend I was surprised. Neat surprise, at least I was surprised!
:) I was also devastated and scared knowing what this could do in a
small town. Most information I read states one in every five are
infected, I would bet good money I am just one and only in this
area. I am one of very few under the age of fifty in the entire
area. I really do not have any friends in the area as it is mostly a
retirement/tourist region so this has been a hard deal for me with
very limited resources. I have tried a few
dating sites, paid the premium several times to only realize
time after time that many of the members are 150 miles or further
away or scared to let out any information, until I stumbled across
your site tonight. I was in awe of the information, the openness and
how people seamed to re-act to others in a helpful manner. I am just
beginning to explore your site but I wanted to thank you immediately
for what I am sure has been years of hard work and dedication.
I may be
not be able to express myself in my own community but from what I
have seen you have created a online community for those of us that
need it. Thank you ~X
Hey
there. I don't have a question for you, but I just wanted to say
thank you so much for this site. After 9 years I was still
struggling with feeling "dirty" and was not as open with my new
boyfriend as I should have been about it. After reading through
your stories, I became more comfortable, confident, and...clean.
You have done many people a real service for sharing your personal
information. Have a great 2008. ~A
I was diagnosed at
the age of 18 ~X
I just wanted
to say that I love this site. I was diagnosed with HSV 2 in
mid-October, and I've done all kinds of reading. For the past few weeks
I've come to accept my illness and since my first OB went away, I kind
of stopped reading so much. I'm now experiencing prodromal symptoms of
another outbreak, so I've been doing more reading. I came across this
site and it has become my favorite resource. Thanks for being so candid
and helpful. This site is chock full of the most useful information
I've found online. You rock!!! ~M
Your site was a
treasure to find!! Anyway, thank you for ALL the time and effort you put
into this wonderful site!! It has helped me a lot!! ~J
THANK YOU very much
for all the time and effort you have invested in helping us in the
herpes community! Your work has been tremendously useful in dealing with
the worst symptom of herpes: the emotional impact. You've made my life
much easier to deal with in light of my recent diagnosis. ~B
Hi, your doing a
great job.
I found your website enlightening. Found some good
information on support groups in my area. thanks again. ~R
Hello I am Tyrone I can really say that Angela's
tips are really useful and her website is great and gives alot of
information out. Unlike most sites her tips helped me out alot but I
found out in the end I didn't have herpes. So thank you for your tips
Angela!
I've been getting a lot of feedback
lately, both good and bad. So what's I've decided to do was to create
two categories on my "Sexual Health Buzz" blog. One is for the "Party
Poopers" and the other is for the "Positive Peeps." You can find the
links to that at the bottom of this page. What that means is that every time somebody sends
me a positive comment I will post it and log it in the "Positive Peeps"
section of the blog. Every time somebody sends me a not-so-positive
comment I will post and log it in the "Party Poopers" section of the
blog. The reason I've decided to go this route is
because I've already created two full pages of feedback from people that
have written to me over the years and I don't want to have to create
more pages. That's a lot of work when I already have a blog that I can
post these comments on, ya know? I do love hearing how I'm doing and
what I can do to improve the site. Thank you so much for your support!
~Angela
I appreciate the service you provide
and I have been on a quest to find answers to all the questions that are
running through my head. ~M
I got my very first negative comment,
check it out! -
Your
site is insulting
Hi, I was diagnosed with herpes today. I
am in a monogamous relationship and we had both gone to the doctor
before having sex and said "we want complete STD testing including HIV."
We had NO idea that herpes was not tested for. It is generally both
assumed and indicated that herpes is a standard STD test. I was so glad
to see your site, and I plan to do whatever I can to get the word out on
this. For no one to tell us that herpes is not tested for and that
anyone could have it despite precautions is unethical of the medical
profession. ~E
I want to thank you for all of your responses. I
haven't been on here too long but I am one of those that lurks in
the background. But wanted to thank you for all your input and
knowledge. You are a great source of encouragement too. ~S
Thank God for your website. There's so much to explore
and so much to read about herpes. With all the goodness you're cultivating,
you deserve nothing but positive feedback. You really hit the nail on
the head when you mention attitude has so much to do with healing and
staying healthy. ~H
I'm just writing to you to say thank you so much for your
website! I'm 18 and got diagnosed with H about a month ago. Up until now
I've been really upset and depressed, fearing to be alone forever. All
the websites that I've been on are really negative and just tell you all
of the downsides of having H. Then I came across your site and saw your
real story, coming from a person who has had to deal with H themselves.
Although scared, I have gained a lot of comfort from your site, and I
don't feel so alone. I know that may sound ridiculous but at my age it
is very hard to find peers who would even begin to understand. Anyway, I
just wanted to say a big thank you, and I am going to keep looking at
your site for help and advice, especially when H is getting me down. ~E
Your website,
yoshi2me.com is amazing. Great job of putting
together a lot of informational material. I
will be a frequent visitor to that site for
reference. Again I can't thank you
enough for taking the time to put
together information like that and responding
to my email. Take care and God Bless you.
~M
I want to
commend you on your web site. I have recently visited excellent fact
sites and a number of really bad ones. I think the ones that are
the most problematic are the message boards. So much misinformation floats around, and not enough
positive messages make it out. It
saddens me to see time and again on those sites newbies in a panic
because they "just found something" and unfortunately, unlike
yoshi2me.com, they don't allow links to be
listed to places of accaccurate
information and resources. :::sigh::: Keep up
the great work, glad I found you. Now, if we could get "yoshi2me" to
come up when folks type in "herpes" on a google search.

Hi Angela! I was sort-of diagnosed 2
weeks ago... I feel certain that I have herpes but the culture was
negative. I found your site and I've been reading it a lot. I think it
is wonderful that you have taken the time to put this together and
facilitate good communication between others in the same position. I'm
sure I'll read more as time goes by and maybe I'll write my own story
out too. In the meantime, I just wanted to say "Thank You" for feeling
strong enough about good healthy communication to do this incredible
thing you have done! ~S
