00:00:00.000 all right guys so it's my first time taking my meds for my hsv and i'm just talking about it
00:00:09.040 because i've been avoiding taking it because taking it makes it very real and i want to get
00:00:15.680 one thing clear um well first hsv is herpes i have hsv2 which is southern herpes i was given the meds
00:00:24.720 you know my first break after my first breakout and i never took them because it had gone away
00:00:31.440 i was really sick it was awful it was awful awful awful i would not wish that pain and sickness
00:00:38.640 on anybody but anyway i took i didn't take it so i saved it and i have it um and now it's about
00:00:47.760 two months later um two months into my diagnosis and i have my first breakout um and yeah so this 0.98
00:00:56.960 is what i mean women don't have consequences like someone will still wife her up or you know there'll 1.00
00:01:01.360 be some legal or whatever but women are addicted to terrible decisions and there are consequences 0.99
00:01:05.440 like stds um debt right um alcoholism drug addiction so women are addicted to terrible
00:01:13.120 choices it's like really small honestly and i part of me is like i could probably just wait it out
00:01:19.120 and it'll be okay um however however i could just not have any itchiness or pain or bump
00:01:27.200 or anything if i just take it or it could reduce it significantly um so i was just texting with my
00:01:33.920 sister and she just like reframed it for me and asked me like just is it like part of it that
00:01:39.920 it makes it more real um and yeah for sure um at first i was like well i don't know what if i have
00:01:46.720 side effects i'm gonna be out i'm gonna be at the gym but no i'm just afraid i'm just afraid of
00:01:50.480 taking it because then it's real and i choose to talk about it because i think it's how
00:01:56.240 stigmatized it is there's a lot that goes along with it and it is not what people think all the
00:02:04.080 time and i think stigma is just really harmful and painful and i will say like when i first found
00:02:10.000 out that i had it i didn't care that i have that i have it like i don't care that i have herpes
00:02:17.840 i don't care she absolutely cares i don't know why you're putting on social media it's treatable
00:02:23.520 it's not curable but it's treatable there's medication i don't have to give it to other
00:02:28.400 people especially if you know if they're informed um which goes which which leads me to how i got
00:02:36.400 it i was not informed it was not informed yeah was not disclosed to me yeah that's it i keep
00:02:43.360 telling you guys people lie nobody nobody nobody says when they get it so anyway i'm gonna take it 1.00
00:02:52.000 Fuck you, dude. Fuck you. 1.00
