I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about five yrs ago, when I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I realize loads of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores around her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/3lbAy everything changed.
Not only was I able to remove all remnants of the herpes virus from my system in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This system provided the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others by sharing this story.

Opportunistic infections are infections that occur because you have a weakened immune system. AIDS causes your immune system to be weak since it is an immunodeficiency virus.
