What Should I Do - Herpes Message Board

Finding Myself · 10-22-2004, 11:43 PM

I am almost 17 and just got dumped by my first girlfriend the first night we made out she said she wanted to have sex and I didnt have a condom She said I could peel out. I said Ok 10 minutes into it I felt uncomfortable doing it because of the paranoia of my brother and sister walking in. The next day i notced 2 white blister looking things on my scrotum and an itchy crotch I never told her about it I tried bringing up herpes in conversation to see if she will admit to having herpes like when she fessed up to me being her 4th guy instead of second. She didnt menton anything. I dont want to tell my parents because everytime i screw up they never let go of it I know I really screwed up I am wondering if there is a way to get treated without my parents knowing

At this point you have two choices. Do something or do nothing. If you do nothing the situation is likely to get worse. If you can't get your parent's support then you need to seek treatment somewhere on your own. The sooner you get help the better.

The next day sounds kind of soon, but you should get it checked out no matter what it is. Is there a Planned Parenthood near you? Or a Health Dept clinic? Probably with a couple of phone calls you could find out where you can go. I know Planned Parenthood doesn't notify parents--thank goodness, or I wouldn't have been able to go when I was 17, almost 30 years ago. You might find more suggestions on the teen board here at Healthboards.
