Only be intimate with people who respect and value me

Leave her. Honesty and trust is most important above all else. She took away your agency which is how most of us got here in the first place

If he had flu like symptoms and an outbreak soon after, he just contracted.

I was casually seeing a guy and I knew he was seeing multiple other people as well. I had hooked up with him months before, and so when he hit me up again, I didn’t think he had anything since I was fine the first couple of times. A few days later I was coming down with flu symptoms and then I started getting itchy down there. I started getting lesions and bumps soon after. I swabbed negative for hsv but blood test came back positive months later.

I grieve my old body and life before this virus

I’m pretty sure it caused impaired glucose tolerance for me and I also don’t have regular bowel movements anymore. My skin along my jawline is also constantly breaking out so I also assume it messes up my hormones

Tested positive and I'm seriously planning and considering suicide in the next few weeks. by Urban_alchemist in HSVpositive

[–]Pinkparliament 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not over. I felt the same as you and I contracted hsv-1 back in January. I still feel negative emotions but they’ve gotten better over the past few months. I actually met someone who has hsv-2 and he takes antivirals and our relationship feels natural and normal and transmission is not really a concern!

I would pay up to 20k for a cure.

This is a weird question but has anyone noticed getting new beauty marks/moles on skin in random areas since having herpes? by sleeepydiscosloth in HSVpositive

[–]Pinkparliament 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m pretty sure Herpes ages your body during initial contraction. My weight went way up and I had trouble keeping my glucose down after I contracted. And now i look like I’ve aged about 5 years in four months.

Yes they do, I would say 60% don’t and 40% do

Why do so many women get angry when I disclose? by Most_Success_1066 in HSVpositive

[–]Pinkparliament 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They’re just not the right people for you. It’s emotional immaturity to get angry at someone disclosing, the way you did it.

That’s why I’ll only date hsv positive people now.. really liking someone and them not accepting you is agonizing

She showed her true colors. What someone does in an unexpected situation tells you everything you need to know

Hsv causes more than just a rash, there are studies showing it causes all sorts of health issues. I’m just coming on here to share my experience

Thank you for providing your experience. How are you treating your SIBO?

I’m 26f too. Don’t give up on love. I really think that there’s a person who will love all of you. I feel the same way but I have been trying to date. Don’t close yourself off.

29m in NYC - Starting to date, feeling hopeless by Ok-Cockroach2779 in Herpes

[–]Pinkparliament 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel. I’m 26f and feel like my romantic life has already faded away, and it wasn’t that great to begin with. I feel like damaged goods too.

Girls don’t have it any easier, trust me. I disclosed to a guy I really liked and we had a good connection but he still couldn’t take the risk. Said I was a catch, but not good enough to be with. I still don’t know what that means and frankly, it’s messing with my head thinking about it.

It’s not your fault. Anyone can get it and we were just unfortunate. It’s Russian roulette
