Be Aware?!?

I feel like crap right now. I have genital herpes. Had it since I was 18. Now 20. Im having my third outbreak. I had my second outbreak a few Weeks ago. just like the last one I have a yeast infection with it. This ***** so bad I just want to tell everyone please make sure you and you're partner are screened  on a regular basis. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Living with it is ok...until you have an active outbreak that's when life starts to suck. My current partner doesn't have the STD or any form of herpes. Thankfully. In some cases like mine you can't help what happens..I was raped.
Please be aware of your bodies and your partners too. Just cause they say they dont have anything doesn't mean they dont. Ask for proof. You wont know until you see it or you end up in the gyns office crying your heart out! Sorry just had to vent.

My friend is going through the same thing except she got it while she was pregnant with her second child and was still able to deliver naturally. It was mainly stress that brought on her outbreaks. Now she's living a normal life and her baby is happy and healthy!! Good luck to you and your family... Much respect for posting this and letting everyone know!!!

When im 35 Weeks I have to start taking the medicine everyday 500 Mg so by the time im ready to go into labor I wont have an outbreak. If I do have an outbreak the baby will be born by Csection.

If you take the prescribed meds like your suppose to it lowers the risk of having them so often.

Ive only had 3 outbreaks since I was diagnosed 3 years ago. the last two I just had are painful. But I think its because I also have a yeast infection.

Sad to hear, but how often do your outbreaks occur ? And are they painful ?
