Wierd Feeling Before it all Began

[Guest guest]

Thank you very much for your informative reply. I did not know that

you could have a negative result while carrying herpes. I have aways

come negative for all stds. I have been cheated on, but always use

protection. I am aware mouth to genital contact can transmit the virus

but I am negative across the board for stds.

I think its a great idea, given the information in your reply for all

women with VV to monitor the area with a mirror to make sure

everything is a-ok.

Thank you for the info.

I'll have to ask my doctor about the medicine again when I see him. I've

been waiting for another sore to apear before going in again. What sort of

side effects are a conciern with the medication?
