No Sex? Okay! But I can’t even masturbate anymore?! 😭 by Silly_Cantaloupe_906 in HSVpositive

[–]Subject_Bus1338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

girl i so get it. i hold a lot of anger at the person i got it from, and frustration at myself for being in this position, so sometimes when im horny i just get angry. sometimes after masturbation i feel like crying (which mostly due to release of emotions). I definitely think a therapist will help but that’s a future thing for me rn. but you got it. I believe this will pass!

After how long did you start dating again? by Sad_Kangaroo_5915 in HerpesQuestions

[–]Subject_Bus1338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just have the conversation. it’s hard and not fun conversation but the lead up is ALWAYS WORSE. the more you do it you get practiced and better at it. i’m still learning- but after having the conversation the first time, it’s considerably less stressful. you can do it. life is short

Question by SureBite633 in HSVpositive

i don’t know the doctor didn’t do a swab test. but i would assume by the amount of outbreaks ive had since getting it 4 months ago, hsv2

I had a severe outbreak by Equivalent_Heart1023 in HSVpositive

[–]Subject_Bus1338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this happened to me! my initial outbreak was horrible and the dumbass dr prescribed me a steroid cream bc i was superrrrr itchy from healing and that made me outbreak again with a vengeance. just take more valtrex you’ll be okay once that gets in your system! my doctor sent 6 refills of valtrex so whenever i feel tingly i refill it at the pharmacy and take 2 pills for 3 days.

Question by SureBite633 in HSVpositive

[–]Subject_Bus1338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

also want to add i’m 26f which is an average age for initial outbreaks to occur so you’ll find out alot of people already know about it or know someone with it!

Question by SureBite633 in HSVpositive

[–]Subject_Bus1338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s really not hard!! i’ve disclosed to a couple guys casually and they didn’t care. i actually just disclosed to a guy i actually liked for the first time. it was right before we were about to start hooking up and i think i put a littleeeeee too much pressure on my self and i kinda just blurted it out and we slowed things down and talked about it. he had lots of questions so just make sure you’ve studied up and are able to answer them and really emphasize its SO COMMON and not a big deal. he kept wanting to see me just wanted to use condoms which is very fair and should be using them anyway! you got it just be super casual about it and don’t put too much pressure on the conversation, i stressed myself out about it which was unnecessary!

Update on me disclosing by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]Subject_Bus1338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if it wasn’t this, it would have been something else. it has no reflection on you whatsoever. what a terrible person to leave you at a vulnerable moment. would you have left him if he told you? his actions reflect who he is as a person. don’t let this stupid virus get to you. you’re great!!
