My Recent Experience
June 25th, 2008 | by admin |Well, where can I start? All I know is that yesterday was the worst day of my life. And I find that by talking about it makes it a little bit easier to accept this disease. I’ve been sexually active for about three short months. For the last thirty years I was married, separated, and finally divorced. I finally was on my own and for the first time I found myself alone. I joined a dating service and that is where my problem began. I met many men and at times even though I knew the risk I did not use a condom. That was my mistake, and I can only blame myself as we are responsible for our own well-being and taking care of ourselves.
Well after a phone call from one of my dates explaining to me that he had some red sores on his penis, and I too had an irritation in my vaginal area, I knew that I had better go see a doctor. Not knowing what I had, I went into the doctor’s office for an exam. At that moment, the doctor said the results were to be in next week and gave me a prescription. When I asked the pharmacist what those pills were for, my heart dropped…I tried to keep a straight face but the tears couldn’t stop. I know people were looking at me, but I didn’t care. I couldn’t believe it. Here I am…just passing on my short story.
