This is my herpes story, I am a 48 year old mother of two divorced 3 years after a 22 year marriage. In that time I graduated college got a good job but was just trying to find a descent person to get to know. I met someone on facebook talked for a year. I finally had the opportunity to meet drove down to Louisiana. I figured I was safe after all his mom was there. This person was on drugs and recently off, was very thin and I kept asking if he had anything. Of course mom and him said no. Two weeks later I started to feel burning went in for a blood test and came back with herpes 2. I tested negative for HIV but will need to go back in 6 months. I knew better but yet I trusted because mom was there figured I was safe I was wrong. Now mom and him changed numbers and I really don't know all he has. So to everyone out there always be protected and don't believe anyone trust your gut instincts. A lesson learned the hard way.
