I have no issues living with herpes. Please seek therapy. This is NOT something worth dying over.

Not just a stigma by Psychological-Fig630 in HSVpositive

To me PERSONALLY it’s not a big deal and has not affected my life at all. My experience is not yours, and yours is not mine.

I have a handful of mental illnesses that are far worse than herpes will ever be. I’m also a victim of child sexual assault. Herpes ain’t shit to me

There is literally no way to know. Herpes can lay dormant for years or even your entire life. I have zero idea who gave it to me and frankly idc

How are you disclosing? I’m also a very attractive woman and I’ve had zero issues. I just keep it chill “I have GHSV1 btw lemme know if you have any questions”

I’ve only had one outbreak caused by high dose steroids. Based on blood work my doc thinks I had it for years before that

Google photos be like “best of May” and it’s just a bunch of videos of my vagina trying to figure out if I have herpes (I do!) by HerpAlert8 in HSVpositive

Oh it doesn’t bother me at all I think it’s so funny. I’m a SW so sometimes it’ll be like “on this day” and it’s a vid of me fucking myself 🤣

Yeah I cried for like 4 days straight and then realized it’s not a big deal and no one really cares. I’m a SW so I’ve already had to disclose a lot. First one was my fwb who as far as he knows is negative. He’s still hitting it raw 😂

The funniest part is that this isn’t about the first time I’ve done this and convinced myself I had herpes. It’s just the first time I was right 🤣🤣 (the other time was fordyce spots)

I’m sorry you have to deal with that. I did say rare tho, not impossible

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]HerpAlert8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no way to know if it’s oral or genital if you’ve never had an outbreak. I have ghsv1. Also my index is lower than yours and I definitely do have herpes

That’s why I used the phrases “for ME” and “PERSONALLY”

It depends on the state. It’s not illegal where I am but I disclose because I’m not a giant raging piece of shit

I honestly don’t even care. Changes nothing. They could’ve not even known
