I found out that I have genital herpes a few months ago. I’m very emotional about it and I don’t how to deal with it. I’m concerned with how this will affect my life. I’m single but I desire to be married and have a family someday and I feel like people would run once they knew that I have GH. I don’t want to give herpes to anyone, yet I want to get married someday and have a healthy sex life. I need direction, help, and comfort right now. I know I can’t change the facts but I need to come to terms with this and not cry when I talk about it. What support is available? What do support groups have to offer? What can you suggest that I do to answer questions I have? What type of sex life can I expect now that I have herpes? I don’t want to spread this disease. Can I get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy without spreading herpes? Any direction and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you to all who read and reach out to me, I really appreciate it.

And if they happen to find an STD in someone’s blood, do they notify the person who donated blood immediately and let them know about it?

Hey im a 17 year old male who was diagnosed with hpv about 8 months ago. I went to a doctor who gave me cream and instructions to make it clear up. After following the directions and medicating it, it eventually went away. I was wondering if I still have hpv and if I got sexualy involved with a new girl would she get hpv. Please answer Im confused and need help badly. Thank you!

Just adding details to be more specific with the question. Anyway, would you be able to get genital warts from someone who has genital warts if their urine touched your genitals?

Does it depend on whether they’ve acquired the disease several times? If a person has an outbreak of only one tiny one and its the only time they’ve ever seen it in the few years they’ve had it, is it likely to get worse later? I’m confused that some peoples look horrific and some don’t look very obvious.

My husband and I were each others first partners. I am starting to think this is a rarity because I cannot find the answer to my question anywhere! Can I still be at risk of HPV?
My husband and I were each others first sexual partners. To make things clear.. I do NOT have an STD of any kind, and don’t have HPV (that I am aware of). I just saw an awareness ad and wondered if it was even possible to get one.

Raw, itchy, burning, vagina with Bumps around vaginal opening! Please Help!?
Painful Red, Swollen, Itchy Vagina with Sever medium sized bumps on both sides of the labia near the opening?
Okay so technically this is 4am Friday morning. I started getting an itchy vagina (all over) around Tuesday. I didn’t go to the doctor and it has only gotten worse. Yesterday I noticed several bump type areas on my labia. Some feel pretty close to the opening of my vagina. There are about 7 or 8, but it’s hard to tell because they are really close together! They are also not little small bumps, but not BIG either! I have tried mashing one, but nothing comes out. I really can’t explain what they feel like. However, These bumps are sore. My whole vagina is sore for that matter. I am raw and torn in several parts from scratching. I have had yeast infections in the past, but I haven’t noticed much discharge and have never had symptoms this bad before, and never any bumps. Keep in mind though I did take 3 antibiotics last month for a sinus infection before I finally got over it. This burning pain is so bad, however, that I cannot sleep and basically cannot function. I don’t have insurance, however, I am going to try and make an appointment at the dr. tomorrow! I cannot live with this! I have almost wondered do I have herpes…but that would be almost impossible. My husband and I have been together for 5 1/2 years and we are each others only partner. On top of that he has no bumps or itching and burning! I bought some monistat 3 cream last night, but I am feeling no relief. On top of all of this my hemorrhoids have been bothering me as well for the past week, so it’s not only my vagina, but my bottom too! Does anyone know what this itchy, burning, bumpy stuff could be? Serious Answers Only! Thanks!
HOW ELSE IS HPV OR GENITAL WARTS CAUSED IF ANYONE THINKS THAT MAY BE WHAT THIS IS? MY HUSBAND AND I ARE EACH OTHERS ONLY PARTNERS EVER!
