my boyfriend is contagious

Noah • they/them pronouns

i’m livid. the one time i’m finally comfortable enough with someone to have sex, he has syphilis and herpes. it’s most likely from his scumbag parents that were sharing needles and sleeping around, but now i have to deal with their consequences. i’m going to get checked as soon as my clinic on campus opens up for the week. i have a horrible knot in my throat. if anyone has advice or comforting words, i would GREATLY appreciate them.
