Do I really have Herpes?

A diagnosis of herpes usually hits people like a ton of bricks. When your doctor first uttered the words you probably thought to yourself, or exclaimed “Who me?” Scary emotions probably raced through your mind. How did this happen to me? Who gave this herpes to me? Will I ever be able to date again? Will I ever be able to have a love life again? These feelings are quite normal. As time progresses things will be easier for you.

Did this really happen to me?

People think sexually transmitted diseases will ‘happen to someone else’ or that using a condom is 100% foolproof in protecting against STD’s. The most important thing to realize is that ANYONE who is sexually active has an extremely high likelihood that they will come into contact herpes. Genital herpes is very common. Many estimates have placed the lifetime likelihood of getting genital herpes to be in the range of 20%. Think about that. That is 1 out of every 5 people! It is almost impossible to be sexually active with more than one partner your entire life and avoid catching herpes. While most do not know they have the herpes virus because it does not cause any visible symptoms, they are still able to transmit the virus to others. Even if this does sound alarming, it is comforting to know that most people are exposed to herpes. For most people herpes does not cause any outbreaks. Telling your current or future dating partner armed with these statistics about herpes makes it much easier to be honest with them.
