I know and I hope everyone as well should be aware that herpes is a serious disease that we should not laugh at. In my experience as a volunteer worker in a health center who's focused is patients of the disease, I realized that they have some major concerns. While giving moral support and counseling to patients who also became my friends and source of inspiration and strength, some of them ask questions like will they still have kids, did their partners cheat them, did they had the disease before they met their partners, or does this mean that they should stop having a sex life. As a matter of fact, it's very hard to determine when a patient had been infected with the virus although we have
blood examinations conducted to check the gravity of the disease. But with the questions regarding child birth and sexual life, I believe there's still hope for everyone in the center. Genital herpes just like other STDs should not lessen your self-esteem or your respect because the virus is present in a vast group of individuals and in all the people in the social hierarchy. And it also does not mean that you are sexually pervert when you are infected by the disease because there are some who have a passive sex life but have accidentally acquired the disease. To sum this up, although herpes can be best transmitted sexually, it does not insinuate that all herpes patients are promiscuous that's why they have it. And I think nobody here enjoys having the disease.
And before accusing your husband, wife or partner of infidelity, take note that there's a possibility that he or she may have had the virus for a long time, which is unknown to him and might have had transmitted to you the virus just now. As for young women who hopes to have a child in the future, a mother develops a group of antibodies which she then passes to the fetus, and these serves as a protection of your
bundle of joy against the said disease. A diagnosis for herpes is made for you to be able to take medication to stop the shedding of the virus. And remember that a disease, whatever that may be, need not control your life nor define your destiny.
