(((skittles))) you cannot change the past & what occurred, only the present and the future. You did the responsible thing in taking care of yourself. Yeah, it feels creepy & dirty to have an STD, I had one once (my ex gave it to me, but never told me & I was pregnant). I felt dirty, and creeped out by it also, even though I was in a monogamus relationship. Stuff happens, we live and we learn from it.

Sounds to me, you have learned from your "buffet" as jax puts it, that if you overeat...well, there is always a repercussion to our actions. Move forward hun. You are not dirty, you are human, and we all have something in our closet we aren't happy with or perhaps proud of...the difference is, we learned and moved on. Don't let this incident overcrowd the rest of who you are, you are obviously a loving caring person, it shows in your concern!!!
