You made a mistake sweetie, but be gentle on yourself. Take steps to think about why you did it (fear) and how to go about things differently in the future. ❤️

Thanks for your support!

I had the worst paranoia about contracting hsv2. I even got tested three times in a year because I would freak out over the smallest shaving mishap. Each time came back negative. Turns out 4th time is the charm. I recently tested positive for hsv2. I contracted the virus a year after separating from my husband of ten years. I was just learning about myself in so many ways. I'm now 34 and hsv2 positive. Its almost surreal that this has happened. I'm learning how to hush that voice telling me that I'm damaged goods. This isn't who I am. I know in the end, it is what it is, and I'm sure I'll find someone who will love and accept me. I'm so angry at myself. I could have been smarter about things. I asked my boyfriend questions about his sexual history but why didn't I push for testing before having unprotected sex. Growing that self love and acceptance. I'll stay optimistic because I have faith that everything will be fine.
