A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

For all the mother on this please help! I made the bigest mistake of my life I went out and had sex with someone I thought loved me and now I think I have genital herpies and I want to get tested but I'm scared to tell my mom I am sexually active and may have herpes. Also when I first went to the doctor and pee in the cup he said I had bacterial infection. So I'm not sure if it's herpes but I do have the bumps and I'm scared. So how can I tell her That I'm sexual active and may have herpes?

ashlydance33 agony auntThe best thing you can do for yourself is to be honest with your mother and get to a doctor. In the mean time, have you tried to Google images? Try to compare. Also, if you already saw a doctor about this, he'd be *VERY* clear about whether or not you have Genital Herpes. And another thing, Genital Herpes is a virus, not a bacterial infection.

Just remember, your mother loves you and wants what is best for you. No matter how scared you are it is in your best interest to be open with her. You will need to be better prepared in the future if you decide to remain sexually active.

Be safe and good luck!

fi_the_tree agony auntYou just need to be brave and be honest with her. Tell the that you need her to be patient as it's hard for you to tell her exactly, then just go ahead and tell her.

Yes she may be mad for a while, but explain that it took a lot of courage to talk to her about it, and that you would like her wisdom and advice on what to do next.

Be brave, and best of luck :)
