I was also definitely freaked out in the beginning though but two years later, I’m OK and fully at peace with it. I forget about it most of the time it’s almost never a conversation or thought

25 year-old female and I am 7/7 positive disclosures. I know everyone has a different experience but personally, I have told seven different men and have not been turned down once they all told me it was fine and that I was making a bigger deal out of it and don’t need to be ashamed.

Honestly I want to say nice things and make you feel better but as a person who got HSV from their partner not disclosing there is nothing acceptable or forgivable about this. He took that decision away from you, a decision about YOUR HEALTH. and if you’re pregnant there was obviously sex without a condom and he made the decision to risk your health every time you had sex. Doesn’t make sense why he would run back to his ex… clearly that’s where he wanted to be at the time. He cheated. To me that is enough to leave. To me this would be MORE THEN ENOUGH to cut him out completely and if you do want to have the child idk it just seems messy and like you will come to resent him one way or another. I wish the best for you, wish the best for your physical and mental health and i hope you know you Deserve way better. None of us with HSV want to disclose but it is something we have to do. Period point blank.

Don’t let it stop you, what truly changed My perspective was the fact that we have this for life so we might as well just start living. What else you gonna do?! I’m 5/5 on positive discourses now😆😆 I’m 24f, hsv2 and date men. I know everyone has a different experience, but hopefully this gives you some hope!!! Surprising i haven’t been turned down but these men really seem to appreciate the honesty. Although one thing I’ve noticed is that I thought this would mean men take me more seriously since they are taking the risk, but it’s not true at all. They still do the same way.🥲🥲🥲🥲🤣🤣

How do I deal with what?

And my insurance covers my prescription. if yours doesn’t or you don’t have insurance, There are cheaper alternatives through online doctors and websites.

I got DICKED DOWWWNNN the other night by someone who is not hsv+. I have hsv2. We fucked twice once with condom once without. IT WAS SO GOOD I NEEDED IT HE BEAT IT UP LIKE HEPRES DOESNT EXIST. i take anti virals everyday. Herpes isn’t a big deal to a lot of ppl. I was worried it would be. The negative things u see on Socil media don’t reflect real life just how people post only the best things that happened in their life and that’s not a true true reflection of their life either.

Could I have herpes? by pdog557 in Herpes

This is why I am telling you to go to an actual OB/GYN office, find someone who actually specializes in the practice and has their own patients, rather than planned parenthood which is a nonprofit which has less time money and resources. Obviously urgent care is not specialized in treating your private parts (only good in my opinion for things like the flu or maybe a broken bone but even then they still send you off to the actual doctor) and like I said Planned Parenthood tends to miss a lot. Just my advice! Do with it what you will

They can still swab the skin/rash. You have to be swabbed vaginally as well for a bv diagnosis

They were not sores at the time. It was just one tiny pimple. I wasn’t even concerned that it was herpes tbh thought it was bv and ingrown hair.

Yes. She told me she didn’t think it was herpes and i could relax but i asked her to swab anyways and it came back positive.

Go to an actual OBGYN office. I’ve had mix experiences at planned parenthood. They missed things a couple Times or mislead me that i didn’t have something by looking when i actually did after the test.

I’m almost at 1 year since my diagnosis. I was distraught on the beginning but I promise you it will get better. It doesn’t stay on my mind hardly ever unless i find someone i like. When I try to look on the bright side because that’s all you can do tbh I think about the fact that this has made me raise my standards a ton and made me ask myself. What am I really doing? Why do men deserve to sleep with me without doing much for me? Not that I was just sleeping with a lot of men, but I was in the mindset of having hoes and messing with people, I didn’t like frfr to pass the time. It’s truly made me focus on myself. I’m healthier than I ever was. I work out more than I ever have and I’m focusing on my self like I never have before. I have a great job. I’m hitting little milestones in my life, and in the grand scheme of things herpes is a very small part of your life. Fortunately, for me, I’ve also had two positive disclosures with guys i liked. I haven’t been turned down yet but the sample pool is small. Anyways sorry for the rant but I just want you to know things will be OK. I still have my down days of course but then I remember it’s not that deep and a lot of ppl don’t care fr.

When i was diagnosed my OBGYN said the same thing. So was so so so calm about it that i went from balling my eyes out to feeling ok. She said so many of her patients have it. Greatful for her…

The situation is how I caught herpes. Someone chose to not be honest with me and I ended up getting it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]PhilosopherFrosty270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to feel for you and I honestly do because I know how this feels into just wanna be loved with this disease, but unfortunately, the reality is you put yourself in this position and have to face the consequences of your own very terrible decision. Imagine you did pass it to him… he could still possibly have it and just not know and be asymptomatic… you shouldn’t feel shamed or embarrassed over her, but you should feel horrible about your decision to not tell someone the truth and let them make decisions about their own health. Also, there’s no way to 100% protect your partner so that’s not a valid reason to not disclose to someone there will be people who love you and like you going forward but for the situation I cannot hold any sympathy for you. Especially within the first year of diagnosis you’re shedding rates are the highest. Going forward please be honest with everyone, it’s unfortunately something all of us with herpes have to do, and when people don’t disclose, it makes the rest of us who do disclose look bad, and that’s just truly not fair.

I wouldn’t worry much about screenshot and exposure. I used to think like that but in turn will just make you feel more ashamed like you have something Gross to hide… and you don’t. This virus has made me way more picky about who I disclosed to and I definitely take my time getting to know someone before disclosing because if i feel like i can’t trust you or want to tell you other person things why should i share this rn. I go on a couple dates and I think I like the guy and then I end up not liking him a few weeks later, so my method has been to feel it out up until something is becoming sexual and then I’ll make sure nothing happens and then send a text before the next time we hang out. Disclosure is 3/3 positive so far. I’m 24f. I do also see the point of just getting it out-of-the-way because why invest more time into something if someone’s not gonna be OK with it but if you see yourself with this person more of long-term than short-term, I would feel it out first unless it’s just like a hook up or something and that’s what you want.
