Oh no, she has them alright. She spent the entire time trying to convince me, and herself for that matter, that she didn't have them. She suspected that she did, went to a doctor who told her the test was "inconclusive" or the test got messed up or something and for a while she was up in the air to wheather she had them or not even though she was experiencing outbreaks. That is just too much of a risk for me to take with my only brother.
Anyway...I ended up talking to him.
I paced outside his door for a while not quite sure what to say. Finally I went in and asked if I could talk to him for a minute. I pretty much got straight to the point because he's a straight forward person. I told him that my friend has been around the block a few times and that she has disclosed to me that she is not 100% clean...down there. He of course wanted to know what I meant by that so I told him she had herpes. He was silent for a while and his face went white (this is what I meant by the scaring part). He then started asking me all sorts of questions. He apparently didn't know what herpes was at all... I had to explain to him what herpes is. He asked me what they were, how you get them, how contageous they are, and if they are curable. This is exactly what I meant when I told her that he might be 21, but he has never been in the real world before. He was pretty damn scared but he told me that thankfully they didn't have sex. They did however mess around.
I told him that you can only get herpes if there is an outbreak and you have to have sex during that time in order to get it. I mean, I know there are other ways but I'm pretty sure that she is not in an outbreak right now. She takes major meds for it. The reason why I told him all of this is because after me telling my friend that our friendship would be over if she had sex with him, she invited him up to her house behind my back. My brother is pretty open about what he does and where he goes but this time when I asked him where he was going, he said "a friends." I knew he was going up to see her so I told him before it was too late.
