Kirk Has Been Changed by Herpes
My office friend for the past five years has been Kirk who is normally a very funny guy and also a very friendly one. However, for the past two months, it is as if he has become a completely different person because of his herpes infection. Now he has to deal with his symptoms as well as continue to take his herpes treatments which his doctor gave for him to use.
These days, we hardly talk anymore because he just does not want to stand up from his cubicle. He just sits there every single day doing his job and does not even get up for lunch. Our other friend Henry told me that he is like this because he does not want anyone to see his blisters or his sores. It may take some time for them to heal but Henry tells me that once those go away, Kirk will be in a much better mood than he is right now.
