Question:
Im new, here i go.

Im only 18 years old. Female. When i was seventeen i was raped, not only did he do what he did to me, but also didint think of using a condom, gave me chlamydia, and cumed in me (Thank god for plan B the morning after pill). I found out 3 months later when i went to the clinic, to pass what i thought would be a regular test. I was crushed, i cried a silent cry.

I got treatment for that, but ever since then it seems that everything hasn't been working wonderfully down south. I got 2 infections after that and i feel it was sumhow related. I was always fine before that happened, i was "pure". I wish i could have the innocence of a child, be a good girl like i was. I didin't sleep around, my x relationship of 3 years had ended 2 weeks prior to me being raped.

That was a year and a half ago.

A couple of days ago i went to the clinic because i was experiencing extreme fire! while urinating, I thought it was just from the sex my boyfriend and i had over the weekend, it had been a while, and i was pretty tight...I thought he either tore something, or i was just irritated. I found out i had a urinary infection, while i was lying there being checked out by the gyno, starring at the ceiling tiles and the dusty vent she told me "this abrasion looks like herpes" i froze. She took a swap and i will be finding out if it really is genital herpes sumtime soon. Im pretty sure it is.

So not only did i find out i had a urinary infection, but the possibility of herpes! WoW great trip to the clinic.

For people who havent experienced a urinary infection let me just tell you it burns! Imagine herpes + urinary infection what does that = huge OUCH!
I cant sit down, i dont feel like going to school (well i cant sit) or work, and i keep telling my boyfriend i cant see him:(.

Ive been with the same partner for 11 months, if this is genital herpes does this mean he maybe had something on his lip and gave it to me, cheated on me, or hes always had it and i only got it now. I wanna be sure before i say something to him.

Ive been through alot with the rape, that whole experience and the chlamydia it gave me, to my x 3 year relationship of abuse. But if this turns out to be genital herpes i dont even know how im going to react. This is going to be a toughie.

Thanks for reading about my hardships. Much love if your affected.

Answer:
I am so sorry to hear about your situation(s). If you do have herpes, this is the place to be. It may seem like your life is over at first, but you will learn how to live and accept this virus. I am quite new to this, 6 months, and it me a good 3 months to accept and begin to deal with it. Here's hoping your results come back positive! Don't give up hope, and please, get back to school! :)
