DEAR DEIDRE: I WAS so happy to finally get a boyfriend at 23, but now I’ve discovered he has given me genital herpes and I’m devastated.
I’ve had plenty of flings but never managed a long-term relationship until recently.
My boyfriend is 25 and the loveliest man who always seemed so caring.
Recently I had a blistery rash develop around my genital area and it was painful when I peed. I began to feel run down.
After confiding in my mum, she made an appointment for me at the sexual health clinic.
