It seems as if I have genital herpes in my crotch area... I'm young and so confused on what to do.. These sites seem to say different things, and I just can't seem to able to totally figure it out. I have sores that never go away... I mean there is the worst times, and the times they are barely there... But there is always some type of rash/sore there... I don't know what to do... If I order medicine, do I take the medicine everyday for the rest of my life? Do these medicines have bad side affects?.. I know having herpes increases the chance of hiv, but besides that, does it harm my immune system in other ways??? Any information would be greatly appreciated..
