During infection it is advisable to take complete blood rest and only after recovery you can resume your fitness activities.

I guess having herpes/HIV/HPV or other STDs is not the end of the world. I'm living with genital herpes for 2 years. Honestly, I was upset and think my sex life was over.
Later I found Positivemate.com. This site was created to help people find useful, up-to-date information about prevention and cure for herpes, HPV, HIV, find safe dating with STDs. I know there are currently 33 million people living with HIV in the world. Having STDs is not the end of the world.

If you are fine, you can do your normal activities though not gym or strenous exercise.
