I'm sorry to hear that. Here's a redacted version of your title: "I was just diagnosed with genital herpes and I ..."

Dear Lord, if this person is not connected to Your church, may he do so as we ask this in Your mighty name, Jesus, amen.

[SIZE=.75em]14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. [/SIZE][SIZE=.75em]16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much[/SIZE].-James 5

 

I am praying with all my heart that your attack will cease and desist immediately and that you will never have another attack again. I am sure your health care professional informed you that whether or not you are in the throes of a herpes attack, you could still spread the herpes virus. This is true even if a condom is used because herpes and HPV are both caused by skin-to-skin contact. I know how upset you must feel. However, you can still have a wonderful intimate life with your future spouse if you take proper precautions. One of them is simply to learn your body. Is a period of time before an out-and-out attack where you can learn the signs that you are about to have an attack. Abstinence during this period or during any time you have sores will greatly decrease your transmission rate. So will use of condoms. They also have antiviral medications on the market such as Valtrex. You could cut your spouse's risk to almost nothing. In fact, since so many people are carrying this virus without even knowing it, you could easily end up a safer person to be intimate with -- in the context of marriage of course -- than somebody who does not know that they have it. Two sources of information you should explore are ### and ###'s sites. I suggest if you get engaged to someone, you have them tested for herpes. It may very well be that they have it too, which means green light. Something that really bothers me about all this is the appalling lack of information coming from the medical profession. They don't tell you that use of condoms does not totally stop the risk of HPV and herpes, which are caused by skin-to-skin contact. Also, I would definitely repeat the blood tests. It is rare, but you could possibly have been misdiagnosed. Now, I will tell you something, and I really mean it -- I do not have herpes. However, I am as you can see, very educated about the subject. If I got engaged, I would definitely insist my future spouse get a total VD panel, including for herpes. (They don't give you a herpes test unless you specifically ask for it.) But if the test of my future spouse came out positive, I would still marry him and still be intimate with him provided the proper precautions were taken. Everybody has something. If you truly love a person, herpes should not stop you from marrying them. One final thought -- Part of the problem with herpes is if you are having an outbreak or think you are at the beginning of one, you must abstain. My answer to that -- So what? First of all, the outbreaks should decrease greatly and clear up faster as time goes on. Second of all, sex is not the only thing that matters. Third of all, there are many people out there who must periodically abstain from sex for a variety of reasons. I hope this makes you feel better. I am telling the truth. I would marry a man with herpes. Do not let this condition define who you are. You could possibly meet a person who rejects you because of your herpes, but not everyone will. Honest. I hope I have helped you. I am praying for you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Amen and amen.

Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears, worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have so little power to change the outcome of these events and I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

Most Holy God in Heaven, please look down from your throne of grace and have pity on us, it said's in your word your grace and love for us is great, that you alone are the author of our fate, and if we follow the path that you have laid out for us before we were born, all will go well for our soul, so show us the path Father so that we may always be in your will, Father we cling to the belief that you alone are the answer to our wants and needs, we leave our problems at your feet, Father give us the strength to leave them there and not try to do your job for you, we are weak but you are strong, you are our rock that we run to when the world closes in on us, hide us in the shadow of your mighty wings, where there is healing, we give our all to you Lord, our troubles and our needs, restore us, and heal us in your name Jesus, we pray, Amen.
