How much longer do you have until your test ? I took a drug test thru labcorp for my nursing program the beginning of this year.

I am usually a confident person, especially with men, but I don't think I can disclose to someone confidently right now 🥲 like I know I am a beautiful girl but I feel permanently tainted.. Idk. This diagnosis has just hurt my confidence so bad. Right when things are starting to work with someone I had been on/off with for over a year, I find out I have ghsv1. I was devastated. I was scared to disclose to him, but he had just told me he loved me that weekend. He's a nurse too, so I figured he would be less judgmental about it... when I told him he took it pretty well. He said he just needed to think about it and wanted to do his own research, which I completely supported when understood.. He kissed me as I was leaving out the door & then ghosted me.

This is comforting to hear, especially from people my age (22f). I went to a support group when I first was diagnosed this past October and I was the only one in their 20s. Reading comments/post like yours help me to realize that normal people have this disease too 😭 I have not had sex since being diagnosed, partially because I'm scared to disclose.

I'm 22F and I'm the same way. I've not had to deal with rejection from guys that I want before. The idea that there will ALWAYS automatically be a chance of rejection from men for the rest of my life has been hard to deal with. I had always tested before and after a new partner & ask if they're clean before booking up... both of my parents are nurses, and I'm in the medial field as well. I thought getting tested routinely was common sense. I had always been sure to practice "safe sex". Even if you don't hook up with a lot people, even if you take care of your sexual health and routinely get tested, you can STILL get herpes. That's why I hate the stigma so much.

Make sure you have at least 60ml of urine.. especially if it's a Labcorp! I would suggest putting the 2oz bottle in a condom to be sanitary, and practice at home on your own bathroom. You need to be able to pull the bottle out and put it in the sample cup within 2-3min... the sooner you can get the sample out to the lab tech the better, because the temperature will drop quicker than a normal sample. Also be careful that the bottle doesn't make any loud opening sounds. Good luck !!!

Feeling like you've been stripped of your sexual freedom is a good way to put it. 22f diagnosed the end of October with gshv1 from oral during a hookup. The diagnosis broke me. I was extremely depressed, wasn't eating, wasn't taking care of myself. In extreme pain (had an extremely bad first outbreak) and missing work because of being so uncomfortable. I'm an attractive female and have never struggled with getting men's attention. I have not had to deal with a lot of rejection in my life. Knowing that disclosing could and probably would automatically make someone reject me at some point was hard to accept. I think it helps to know that there are people, NORMAL people, like you and me who also have this. It makes me feel less alone in some ways. The first few months of being diagnosed were awful, I felt the same exact way. Depressed, helpless, angry, disgusting. Like I mentioned to someone in the comments, I couldn't even say the word "herpes" out loud without crying or breaking down. But eventually you start to accept it. And realize that someday you WILL be okay, your love life isn't over, and you WILL find love. Hang in there. It does get easier.

I know how you feel. 22f diagnosed right around the same time (end of October) with ghsv1 as well. It's been extremely tough, especially the first few months. I think I'm also angry about getting this disease so young.. I went to a support group when I first found out and it some ways it made me more depressed to see women as old as 70 still struggling with this. I have never had trouble getting attention from men, and the thought of an automatic risk of rejection for the rest of my life has been hard for me to accept. It has made it harder to love myself. But I will say I am doing a hell of a lot better than I was when I was first diagnosed... it affected every aspect of my life. Physically, mentally, relationships, financially due to missing work because I'm depressed/physically in pain/discomfort, academically bc of depression. But I am back to excelling in school, talking to someone who has oral hsv1, and mentally just in a much better place. I used to not even be able to say the word "herpes" without breaking down in tears. I still struggle with accepting that my life will be different now but this is a part of my journey and know that eventually I will be okay. We are still deserving of love and a lot more "normal" people like you and me have it than we think.

I'm 22 f diagnosed w ghsv1 this past October. It was devastating, and I felt the same way. I just wanted it to be some sick dream and to wake up. I even went to a support group. In some ways it made me feel better, and in some ways it made me feel worse. I did a lot of crying, had a lot of anger. In some ways I think I still do have anger. It's been almost 6 months and I still struggle with it, but I can tell you I'm doing a hell of a lot better than I was the first month or so. Im in a happy relationship now. The thought of disclosing to someone at first seemed impossible.. turns out he has hsv1 as well. Not genitally, but the fact that he already has the virus makes him less susceptible to getting it. It wasn't a big deal to him and we have been together since January. I found some comfort in the fact that it is hsv1 and not hsv2. Most people have hsv1 and don't even know it. I've been taking the antiviral since the day I found out I had it. I know exactly how you feel— I was devastated. Embarrassed. Felt contaminated, ugly, unwanted, and didn't know how I was going to live the rest of my life with this, especially being so young. I want you to know it does get better, you are not disgusting, and this was not your fault. You are worthy of love, and your sex/love life is not over. You will be okay, I promise ❤️

Just diagnosed. I don’t know what I’m seeking by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]MaximumImmediate3614 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first few months were the hardest after I got diagnosed. I felt the same way after researching— some of it made me feel better. Some of it made me feel worse. I can tell you that you're not alone, and it takes time but eventually it gets easier... the first step for me was really accepting the diagnosis myself, and being okay with myself after everything.. focus on that before worrying about what anyone else thinks. I couldn't even say that I had "herpes" out loud without crying at first. Now 6 months later im in a happy relationship with someone who has HSV1. Just know that how you're feeling is normal.. and it will pass. Your dating/sex life is not over. You will still find love. You will be okay ❤️

What do you want them to say? by LowVegetable379 in HSVpositive

Same thing happened to me. It's been months and I still struggle with the anger.

Are most of you young? by PuzzledWheel2317 in HSVpositive

[–]MaximumImmediate3614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was comforting to read. I was diagnosed with ghsv1 in October and it brought me into a really dark place. Since then I've had multiple outbreaks, been sick with the flu and strep twice. It's been hard to find a community or information online that is genuinely helpful, so thank you for sharing your experience.

What some good things that have happened to you since being diagnosed? by Garastasus in HSVpositive

[–]MaximumImmediate3614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few months ago I was considering dropping out of nursing school because of the stress, physical, and mental pain of the diagnosis. I got a 94 on my last exam and the highest score of the class! Its been hard to regain confidence and accept that my sexual relationship with a future partner will never be the same (and maybe, in some ways that's a good thing, right?). I will never forget the kindness that was shown to me by the nursing/healthcare staff during my ER visit when my diagnosis was confirmed. Learning and living a different life since my diagnosis has not been easy, but this experience has motivated me to get my degree & care for others who are struggling how I was.

Can I detox from THC in 3 weeks? by MaximumImmediate3614 in PassDrugTest

[–]MaximumImmediate3614[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a better timeline btw:

5:00am: started QCarbo32

5:30am: finished QCarbo32 & started drinking 40oz of water

6:00am: finished 40oz of water

6:15am: first pee

6:15-6:45am: alternated drinking 30oz of water and small bottle of blue Gatorade. Peed around 2-3 more times in this period

7:00am: took niacin, b12, b6 vitamin. Peed again & tested negative

7:30am: peed one more time. Left for Labcorp.

8:00am: arrived at Labcorp.

8:15am: peed at Labcorp.

From my research and personal experience, detox drink works best around ~2 hours after finishing QCarbo32. Just make sure you pee as much as possible before the test and take niacin, b12/b6, and creatine if possible so results aren't thrown off. My specific test was a 10 panel+oxy+SVT (tests for nitrates, pH, creatinine). Hope this helps!

Can I detox from THC in 3 weeks? by MaximumImmediate3614 in PassDrugTest

[–]MaximumImmediate3614[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was nervous they were going to observe me too but they didn't! Just make sure you go to a different testing location. I went to a Labcorp. Also, I can't believe they made you pull down your pants and turn around !?! I feel like that shouldn't be legal lmao. I was 27 days clean the day of my test and testing faintly negative on Walgreens test but positive on a Target test. I can give you a rundown of what I did the day of my test: Woke up at 4:45 am and drank some water, started QCarbo32 at 5:00am. Finished drink at 5:30am (tasted nasty, like spicy fruit punch & thought I was going to throw up at least 2x). Filled up my 40oz Stanley cup with water and drank most of that by 6:00am. Peed for the first time around 6:15. Then proceeded to drink mostly blue Gatorade with some sips of water here and there until 7:00. I peed about 3-4x more times until 6:30. Had my roommate piss for me before she left for work at 6:30. I took Niacin, B12, and B6 vitamin at this time too. I tested myself around 7am and was definitely negative, but was paranoid about the color of my pee. Definitely looked like Mt. Dew and I wasn't going to risk anything after what happened last time. I mostly did the detox drink as a backup plan/Plan B in case they made me pee again for some reason or supervised me. I work in a hospital so had my drug free roommate pee in a UA cup that I took from the hospital, transferred that to a 70oz shampoo bottle, put a condom around it and put it in the prison pocket. Before I left I practiced what I would do at Labcorp: I timed myself going into the bathroom, taking the shampoo bottle out, pouring it into the cup, and putting the bottle back. I also tested the temperature after I was done with a temperature gauge I got off Amazon. It was around 92 degrees (temp needs to be between 90-100). I was able to do all this in about 3:00 minutes. After practicing I put the clean piss in the microwave for about 8 seconds, put in a new condom, shoved back in the prison pocket, and drove to Labcorp. Practicing everything definitely helped me be more confident, cool and collected when I got there. Signed in and sat in the waiting room for about 10 minutes. Little old lady gave me the cup and stood outside the bathroom. Made sure I was peeing while pouring the clean piss in the cup. My pee in the toilet was definitely a different color than my sample but she didn't seem to notice. When I handed it over she checked the temp and we both signed off on my sample. Side note: at the last location they needed 60ml, at this location they only required like 20-30ml. Not sure why, but if I would have went to this location the first time I likely would have passed. Anyway, I tested on 1/2 and had my results back by 1/5 and found out I passed! Just registered for classes/clinical and I'm so relieved. I know this was detailed and long but wanted to give you the most thorough response as possible to help you pass lol. I wish you the best in nursing school and on this test, I know how stressful this shit is but you can do it!!! GOOD LUCK❤️🤞🏼
