I’m a virgin in literally every aspect possible and I’m concerned that I have a STI (herpes) somehow? I’ve not had any time to go socialise with people other than my college/university friends in at least three years, so how is it possible? I’ve researched and it says it’s possible to get STI’s if you’re a virgin but still get involved in other sexual activities — which I haven’t?

I’m too scared to tell anyone besides my closest friend, and I won’t be able to go to my doctors until Monday since I’m at work all weekend and can’t get it booked off.

How is it possible to even get an STI (herpes, I assume) when I haven’t even kissed a guy in three/four years and haven’t done anything further than that? I don’t even touch my friends skin (even hands) so I can’t have got it from them.

I’m just so confused right now?
