I recently got Diagnosed (sp?) with an std that I wont ever be able to get rid of. I was wondering if you guys new of any sites online where people can talk about these things.
Sense I found out I have felt completely hopeless and I just feel like giving up but I cant do that to my parents.
So it would be really helpfull if you guys could give me a couple sites..

Maybe it would be helpful to you to help out others by educating about STDs by starting a column on this site?
Professor_Kaos answered Monday December 10 2007, 5:09 pm: I can only imagine you are going through shock right now. This is NOT the end of the world. While trying to help another person on here I had stumbled across a mind boggling stat. Of people in their twenties 11 percent of guys and between 25-30 percent of girls have herpes. Basically that means someone you work with has it or several people in every class you have will get it. That being said, you are not alone. There is nothing wrong with you. There is no major flaw with you no matter which std you have. You will get through this. I know you worry what people will think if they know. I've met a few people online that have admitted having one thing or another. I had never had anyone ever admit having an std before. What my thought was this "Wow, this person thought enough of me and my health to tell me." The God's honest truth is I had so much respect for them for letting me know. I never held it against them and truthfully I thought so much more of them as people and it actually made me more interested in them. I cannot say everyone else will feel the same but surely some will. I have enclosed a link which seems to be exactly what you are looking for. It is a free social site/community where people can get advice or help with stds.
I do not know how good it is but it seems well done [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) [ Professor_Kaos's advice column | Ask Professor_Kaos A Question ]
superstarblue89 answered Monday December 10 2007, 4:57 pm: a lot of places have groups for that...try calling your local hospital or talking with your doctor and see where there is a group close by where you can be around people in your situation...it's always great to know that you're not the only one out there going through something at that time...I really suggest it...I don't know about any sites really, but you might want to try googling it or something...web md has message boards about certain things...try going there.
