Inside the Confessional

I'd like to take a few moments and share something personal. That comes as a shock to some of you, I'm sure. However, I just can't keep this information to myself. It's something that has been a great benefit to my life and I think it might benefit other lives as well. I realize that some of you have already learned this information, but I know others are still unaware. I want to share a personal triumph. It's one that I hope, nay, I know, will be inspirational to whomever may read it.

I want to talk to you about Herpes. I'm not talking about the cold sore variety. I'm talking about good ole fashioned Genital Herpes. Until recently living with genital herpes was, to say the least, a big pain. My nads constantly itched and it really hurt when I would pee. (Not to mention the abnormal urethral discharge, which was quite unbecoming.) But now those days are a thing of the past. Eventhough there's no cure for genital herpes, there is Valtrex and that's good enough for me. With Valtrex I've been outbreak free for nearly a year. Those painful, itchy blisters on my dong and scrote are now just a distant memory. I'm living my life again on my own terms. Best of all, with Valtrex the ladies never know what I might be giving them when I'm giving it to them.

I hope my personal story of triumph has touched you in some way. I hope you can be comforted knowing that even if you do contract genital herpes you can still live a fun-filled life. I hope you can sleep easier knowing that the pharmaceutical industry is working hard for you. They're working hard to ensure that we can all live our lives however we choose, knowing that most negative consequences can be managed with a pill. More than anything, I hope you realize that the fool you just screwed could've very well had herpes. If he/she did, then you'll find out soon enough. You might be upset, but once you get past that and feel like living your life again, you'll be glad you read this. And you'll be saying the same thing I'm saying; "Thank you, Valtrex."

Ridiculous. How are you doing? Besides your condition I mean.

Not bad, sir. Just continuing my education...as always. Soon we'll both be Masters. Btw, I'm really digging "5-31a" by B.A.S.E. Inc. 'Tis an excellent beat.

Hmmmm...herpes isn't really something I can relate with. However, the un-ethicality and dubious nature of the pharmaceutical industry is something I am familiar with. It's unfortunate that most of your medical education is controlled and directed by those greedy monsters who hide behind a facade of good will and healing. Beyond that, I am still envious of anyone studying medicine. Which is what drew me to read your blog. I thouroughly enjoyed animal disection units in biology(minus the formaldehyde stench).
