Contagious Disease

Today, I have herpes.

Perhaps I should stop spending time with random people on a Saturday night?

Of course, by herpes, I am referring to herpes simplex type 1 virus - the kind that causes cold sores and is seperate from the other type of herpes, so in case you were concerned, in admitting this ailment, I have not just declared the state of my sexual health (or indeed, sexual activity) to the internet.

As I understand it, herpes is for life. Remaining dormant in the body until it resurfaces when the immune system gets a little weary with emotional upset, or psychological stress; or fatigue and tiredness. I've had all of that in the past week, so I suppose it's no great surprise that my little fiend has recurred once again.

Most unattrative and très annoyant. Also, I haven't got antiviral cream, so this bothersome bugger could be here to stay for a while. Darn.
