It was the call I had been expecting. Until that point there was still a chance it was all a big mix up and this was actually happening to someone else. Then as the cheerful sounding lady on the phone declared 'You have type 2 Herpes' I saw all hope of delusion fall to pieces. I reeled as I hung up the phone but there was nothing I could do but keep smiling - I was half way through a conversation with my colleague on the train home from a meeting in Basingstoke.
That was earlier today. Having spent the last few months anticipating that moment I have decided that I would like to share my experiences. I know from research in the last few months that this is a common virus and I also know I have found it hard to find real life information from people who deal with this everyday. I would like to share the story of a 'normal' guy who enjoys his life most of the time and who also happens to have herpes.
I am 26, I am single, I have a degree and a good job. I like salsa dancing, cycling, drinking too much with my friends on the weekend, long holidays to weird places with a small backpacks, eating and cooking good food. I have had sex with 7 people and until recently I didn't think I counted as a sexually 'risky' person. Generally I prefer lasting relationships to one night stands although I have had a mix of both.
I was diagnosed symptomatically with herpes by my GP late last October. I had been showing symptoms since May. I went to the GUM clinic for a test in December but it was a swab from symptoms a couple of weeks ago that today confirmed the inevitable. There are a few other twists to this tale (which will be revealed in due course) and I still have many unanswered questions. I do however have an appointment with the SHAC (sexual health advisory clinic) on Wednesday and more importantly a date with a girl on Sunday. Both of these things raise interesting and slightly scary questions about how this diagnosis will change my life.
More soon.

I GOT CURED OF HERPES WITH THE HELP OF DR Patrick OGU , I Am from North Carolina, USA . I caught genital herpes from my ex boyfriend who never had any symptoms of herpes . I had it for 4 years ,and it has literally affected my life before I got cured. People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation, herpes has long term effects on health. The stigma attached to this virus by ignorant people is ridiculous. Most people have herpes in one form or another but they might not be aware of it. I would like to advise people on how I got rid of my herpes by using Dr OGU herbal medicine. I saw a comment posted by a woman from Colorado, on the internet that she got rid of her herpes with the help of doctor OGU. I was so happy when I saw that post. i quickly collected the doctor OGU contact email and I emailed him. Within 1 hr he responded to my email. i explained things to him and he told me not to worry that he will help me. i ordered for his medicine product which was sent to me via DHL. that was how i got the herbal medicine and i used it as i was told for the period of 6 days which is twice a day ( morning and at night before going to bed) .after 8 days, i found out that the herpes was no more and this was also confirmed by my doctor. if you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cure, kindly contact doctor OGU Patrick via this email ; drogugusolutionhome@gmail.com or text him via: +1 719 629 0982 .
