Life can be worse… (m17)

I recently had a scare because i had some things that look similar to sores on my penis. I decided to go and get blood tested, i was shocked when i had learned that i did not have hsv2 but although i did come to learn that i had hsv1. Luckily my symptoms have never been worse then a single white bump in my mouth at a time occasionally. I am not currently on any medication of some sort. And i know this isn’t exactly the type of comfort you guys and gals are looking for but, life can genuinely be worse. Hey i mean at least you’re not paralyzed from the neck down right? Or on your deathbed from cancer right? It may seem tough now but i promise the stigma built around herpes makes it seem far much worse then it is. Learn to love yourself please everyone. Life’s to short to give up cause of herpes. keep on chugging!
