this subject is so important. i don’t think people fully understand the concept and the urgency of testing. the scary part is that even when tested, the two non curable sti’s have no test which means a lot of doctor appoints & specialists. i got lucky but i mean, not everyone does. Sabrina mentioned about a friend with herpes that has ex then mentions it. how many men do that out there? my friends don’t want to get tested cause they don’t want to know. i am sure Sabrina’s friend is lonely & scared of being alone. how do you tell someone you have something even if you love them? i went depressed throughout my scare. how could i tell the girl i love, “the one” i have herpes or hpv? i jumped to wild conclusions & made matters worst. my own worst enemy lol - but yah, there wasn’t mention of the parallel between cold sores & herpes. i recently heard about warts causing genital warts. so much negativity & life altering sickness due to temporary pleasure @ risk of long term pain. i just don’t see why bothering. planning on waiting till marriage. i just don’t want to be that guy - 1 of 4 - everyone says it wont happen till it does. its so much trust. my female friend i warn now too. i young girl, a friend of mine 18 yrs old just got hpv. any woman out there having sex should get that vaccine. i cannot stress it enough. i wish guys could get it. i hate needles but i would not think twice about it. great video.

i think it’s great you are talking so openly about this james…i hope people listen to you and get tested…afterall isn’t it better to catch it and treat it (if it’s treatable) and get rid of it then never know and possibly be spreading it to everyone you come into sexual contact with????
people who don’t get tested make me nervous

i haven’t thought about sex in 7 weeks; the time i been scarred about this issue. i am scheduling a doctor’s appointment in which i see a specialist who can check skin samples. i been give clearance 40x but 41 doesn’t hurt. i am actually scared more then ever in my life about this specialist. i don’t know how i could tell the woman i love, “the one” that i got a curse, i’ll hurt you if i have unprotected sex with you. i wouldn’t forgive myself if i scarred someone for life. i been given good news so i’ll focus on that. i don’t want to think negative. it will send me into panic again but yah, thanks Jill. i appreciate your support & the great insightful videos. all the best everyone. keep it safe.

Good luck with the rest of your testing Jamestown, hope it all goes well, and you’re safe and healthy in the end.
I do get checked every year and I get stressed over that, so I can’t imagine what you’re going though!
Hope it all works out!

thanks Stacey.
i really appreciate it. this has been the worst time of my life. i have visited so many doctors it is insane. the thing is, i am concerned about myself. who wouldn’t be but how could i forgive myself for hurting someone i love? that would really suck. i learned the importance of appreciation too. insecurities are such a waste of time. insecurities are so negative & worst of all it is internal negativity. you are your own toughest critic. this experience makes you appreciate yourself more when you go through something like this. you acknowledge how precious life is, to be thankful for all that you have. i am very appreciative though that these videos are made. they make a difference. i think that is important. that people know what they are doing makes a difference & not going to deaf ears. all the best everyone cheers.
