Sexual Health Buzz

I used to feel the same way, as did probably, everyone else on here.

The thing that helped me was reading different stories on Angela’s website. (www.yoshi2me.com) Also joining this forum and reading what other people are going through or have gone through, helped a great deal as well.

I was diagnosed in July and was horrified. Went through every stage from denial to suicidal thoughts. But when I came across this forum and Angela’s website, it made me realize this is nothing to be ashamed of and I’m not the only one. You HAVE herpes but you ARE NOT herpes, you can live a normal life with a spouse and children, herpes doesn’t kill you or anyone else, you are not alone! 1 in 5 people have it and 90% don’t even know they have it.

And just because you have herpes, doesn’t mean you’re skanky, dirty, etc. EVERYONE is at risk for an STD. You can sleep with 50 people, or just 1. All it takes is that ONE time for you to catch anything. And if anyone tells you different, well, that’s what your middle finger is for and that’s why you have two ;]

Kudos to Angela and everyone on here. Y’all helped me more than you know and I’m very grateful for that! And thanks to y’all, I now feel that herpes is just a blessing in disguise =]

It’s so nice and refreshing when somebody writes in with something positive to say about the work that we are doing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart because when times are tough and people are mean it’s a beacon of light at the end of the tunnel and makes it worth it to keep going, even if it means helping only one person at a time. So thank you so much for all of your support, positive energy and good vibes. – Angela aka Yoshi2me
