Clearfield Pennsylvania H Pal

Well my name is Jenn I am 21 years old. I was diagnosed with HSV-2 several months ago. When i found out I was in total shock. I thought that my life was over, and even if it wasn't I wanted it to be. I became severely depressed and even suicidal. I felt so guilty, ashamed, and I was very mad. Actually I was beyond mad. If finding out that I had HSV-2 wasn't bad enough, the last guy that I had been with the only guy that I had dated in a year was telling me that he did not have it and that there was no way that it was even possible that he had it. There was no doubt in his mind that he was STD free. He said that since he had only been with any other woman in the past 6 years I must have been the one that had it and that he probably got it from me.

I started doing a lot of research and I did at one point wonder if I had got it from one of the other four guys that I had been with since I lost my virginity. I knew that you aren't completely protected by condoms. But I just felt that there was no way that I had gotten it from someone else when I had been diagnosed with it 10 days after having unprotected sex with him. Especially since that was my first time not being protected.

About a month after I first talked to him about it he came to try to talk to me. He told me that he had been tested, which was a lie, and that the test was negative. A few days later he talked to his ex and found out that she had gotten it at one point when they had split up, then she decided that she would get back at him by trying to give it to him. So he admitted that he had not been tested and apologized to me for lying and not believing me. We tried to hook back up and it was going ok for a few weeks until I realized how much resentment I had for him over the whole situation. Well I have been going to see a therapist, and I have become better able to deal with the whole situation. Seeing him doesn't bother me at all anymore which is good because he is my neighbor. I still have some bad days, but they are not near as bad as they were when I first found out.

It made me realize that you should never judge anyone because you don't know the whole story. I have been judged a lot in the past few months and some people can't look past the fact that I have HSV-2. But all I have to say to them is "That is your problem, there is a lot more to me than the fact that I got Herpes." I know that there are going to be people that are afraid of getting it and ones that want to think that I sleep around because I got HSV but those are just the people who are uneducated and if they can't take the time to educate themselves before they try to judge me they are not even worth my time. - Jenn
