Teen Who Needs Help! Posted: 01-10-04 16:31pm

I am only 16 and I feel sooo
embarrassed...

able to have children?
My doctor gave me some antibiotics that I
am finished taking, I have an appointment

if these diseases
can be cured but I just want to kno for
sure?
Thanks, ciara

Sorry to hear about your situation. Did
you use protection?? Well honey, yes the
diseases are curable. That is why your
doctor gave you antibiotics. They become
a problem when they are left untreated and
can lead to alot of things. How old are
you by the way? And not to sound harsh
but it seems to me you know nothing about
sex.... U didn't even know that what u
had was curable. You need to know these
things. I suggest you look up some info
and be safe next time if you engage in
risky activities. Also ask your doctor
everything you are unsure of and they will
give you all the info you need. Take this
as a lesson learned. Good luck and hope
all goes well for you. ~ erica.

Hi ms. Erica,
no, I didn't use protection, I was very
stupid about not using it but I am going
to be extra careful in the future...I am
16...
Thank you sooo much for the information
and on my next doctor's visit, I will make
sure I ask all the questions I need
answered.
And i've really learned my lesson...
God bless you...
Love, ciara

Sorry I asked your age not realizing you
already posted it lol ! Anyhow, yeah
please be careful!!!!!!!!!! There are so
many diseases out there that are not
curable but they are treatable which are
herpes and venereal warts and not to
mention the deadly hiv virus. It's a
scary world out there and you never know
what people have they look no different
and unfortunately some people just choose
to be dishonest about their health.
Consider yourself lucky thats it was all
you got. And I just wanted to say too,
make sure that you have been tested for
every possible disease because sometimes
they only check you for chlamydia,
ghonnoreah,(spelling) syphillis and so on.
You do have to ask for a hiv test and you
also need to ask for the herpes test since
that test is detected through your blood.
It is sadly one of the most popular
diseases now days and also very common
amongst young adults and half of the
people who have the disease have not the
slightest clue they have it because they
get no symptoms. Well good luck at the
doctor and take care of yourself.
God bless you also ~ erica.

Partner(s) Tested?? Posted: 02-08-04 04:52am
You should have also been tested for
syphillis and hepatitis b. Make sure you
were. Also, was your boyfriend tested
and treated as well? You don't want to
get back what you just got rid of...
