- So far, this girl hasn't done or said anything.
All because of a house party over Christmas, and this family is a mess. Herpes is what happened and here is the story
But first, a little back story. Her parents disapprove of premarital sex, and this girl is sexually active. The thing is, she thinks that she accidentally gave her Dad herpes. And not in some creepy, incest kind of way, but because of a shared razor.
The university student explains that she was very shy growing up but has since started to experiment a little since leaving home
“I continued to be somewhat promiscuous and a one night stand turned into be me getting herpes. Awful, but the medication I take now really suppresses my symptoms and makes it very unlikely to pass it to others. Apparently not.”
It was during her third year that she came home for the Christmas holidays. And since leaving, her parents are broken up, and the girl is torn over what to do.
She explained the situation and said, “A boy I had a crush on in high school was going to be at a party I was going to. I was given somewhat late notice and only had a couple hours to get ready.”
She continues saying, “I figure who knows what’s going to happen, but I’ll give all my areas a good touch up. I realize I don’t have any razors at home so I use a disposable one of my father’s. I’m rushing and I cut myself a little. I go to the party, we don’t hook up, no big deal.”
It was a couple months after the fact that she received a frantic call from her mum saying that she was leaving her Dad and they were going to be getting a divorce. After that call, she contacts her Dad.
“I FaceTime my dad. He answers and his face is covered in a rash. He’s telling me he has herpes, but he never cheated and has no idea how this happened. We talk for awhile and I’m confused and mad and don’t know what to believe.”
It isn’t until a couple of weeks later that she wonders if it is her fault that he Dad had gotten herpes. Research shows that it could be possible.
Her guilt is very real but passing herpes through anything other than skin to skin contact is unlikely. But then, how did her Dad get it? Odd news, and poor Dad, especially if it was the daughters fault. Yike.
