JUST diagnosed with genital herpes I need advice and encouragement

I usually wash my face in the shower. Now that I have genital herpes do I need to have separate towels for my face and body? Also, I feel that life is over and I will never get married or have kids which was my ultimate goal in life. Have any of you ever met someone who didn't know previously that excepted you with the virus and still wanted to be with you?? I want to hear all your stories, good and bad.

you shouldn't be using the same wash cloth on your face as you use on your genital area but other than that, no need for separate towels.

have you read the free herpes handbook yet that we recommend in our read before posting post?
