Tale coming from a Man with Herpes
Tale coming from a Man with HerpesWhen I was 17 years of age, I got Herpes. I came to be a virgin back then and she was more mature and she did not inform me that she had the illness. I was juvenile, ignorant and thirsty for the world; I had no thought then regarding sexually transmitted diseases.
The signs and symptoms would appear and disappear, at times it's itchy, often painful, but I did not admit to myself that something was completely wrong. I was naive and I didn't do something over it.
When I got examined in a little clinic in another city and the result came up, my world went crashing down. I was contaminated with Genital Herpes and I was told by the attending physician that there was zero treatment. I will have to withstand this condition for the rest of my life! The health practitioner informed me that I may possibly still live a normal life. Yet there was nothing I couldthink of but dying.
The physician also shared with me that I can still have an active sexual lifestyle, on condition that I informed my partner about my problem. Through the times I've had various sexual partners, all were very good and wonderful, yet I only informed four of them. I was undergoing plenty of emotions while I was trying to mature as a man. I was sad,crazy and fuming at the world. So I didn't really care about informing the rest of them.
In the end I switched my outlook around and started being responsible. I informed those who I slept with about my illness and that they must get examined. I questioned them if they have experienced symptoms such as a burning discomfort when urinating, bumps or blisters in the groin area, hurtful discharge, and many more. I also endorsed them to a confidential clinic, if they wish confidentiality and steer clear of public scrutiny.
Experiencing something like this puts life in standpoint. I'm not a harmful individual; I just made a couple of bad choices, just as the individual who infected me. I've had time to glimpse at the positive facet of things and enjoy the little experiences in life.
I carry a sexually transmitted disease. Am I proud of it? Definitely not, however it is a part of me now, and a facet of who I am. It's now my responsibility to tell others and help inform anyone about what could befall to them.
