Can You Make Peace with Herpes?
There's an interesting perspective on Herpes been posted over at Craigslist where the author says that making peace with the virus is the way forward.
Herpes is like a seed in a desert. It will stay asleep indefinately if the signal to germinate isn't given.
So if you make a peaceful accomodation with virus and not trigger it with anger, shame, frustration or the above-mentioned triggers , herpes can quickly become a non-factor in your life and in your health.
So, can you make peace with Herpes?

Do I have herpes
I had unprotected sex about 5 months ago and just last week found some redish sores on my side. Kind of under my arm but not my arm pit. I've not had any other problems other then a little soreness in my growing. What is this?
Thanks
im scared!
i just started noticeing the redness in my private area and only thing i have gound that it could be and im 6month pregnant i dont know what to do im scared to tell my parents what am i to do?
May help a bit...
It is unlikely for herpes to transfer from mother to child, especially if you get a c-section. Get tested to make sure you know exactly what kind of redness you're dealing with. There is treatment for herpes that can dramatically reduce the risk of transfer and if you're in a monogamous relationship getting on the same page with you're significant other about it would be a huge step. When you get all of the above sorted out, then is the time you should tell your parents, just so that you can approach them with full knowledge of what you're going through and how they can (if they can) help if only just supporting you morally through this. I'm sure you can live a happy fulfilling life.
EDIT: I just noticed u wrote that 2 years ago...but this goes for anyone else hear and now in the same situation, and good luck!
I will make peace with it,
I will make peace with it, when it stops poking its ugly head!
