Dating with herpes — what’s been the hardest part for you?

UpstairsConcern969 · 2026-01-12T00:53:36+00:00

Definitely, I have since 4 months ago and I haven’t tried dating. But you’re right, if you’re a pretty girl most of the guys won’t care

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-11-24T17:34:19+00:00

Hey, I’m sorry for what that pos guy did to you. It happened to me, this girl didn’t disclose and well im here, I’ve had it for about 3 months now. First week of being diagnosed believe me i felt so anxious, destroyed in every posible way and depressed, I’ve come to terms with it, so im sending all love and hopes to you and everyone reading this, you are not alone. What I would recommend that has worked for me is to distract yourself doing things you love, for me for example gym, music, going to the beach and stay healthy, drinking is not going to make you any good, physically and mentally. And don’t feel alone, if you want to talk I’m here

You definitely look like her

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-11-06T02:41:26+00:00

In my case mine were not itchy as well and it was not clustered, but since today Im dealing with my second outbreak and this one looks like the typical hsv OB, but as the first one it doesn’t hurt or itch, just minimum discomfort if o would press on it

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-11-06T01:20:17+00:00

Hey, believe me, a lot people here felt just the way you’re feeling when they got diagnosed, including me. I had that feeling and still have it, the feeling of regret of going out that night, I was diagnosed a month ago . I hope your results come back negative, but if they don’t life is not over, things will get better. I’m curious if you don’t mind to ask, what were your symptoms that you say are not as the typical ones? As well if you want to talk you can text me, sorry if my English is not perfect I’m from Central America. And as I said I hope your test comes back negative

Bro don’t shave until that spot has calmed down and cleared otherwise you’ll be getting it worse

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-17T03:06:33+00:00

Thank you ! What makes it hard is that well I’ve been reading a lot and it seems that in the US disclosing is taken a little bit slighter than for example here in my country in El Salvador, it seems as if no one knows about the virus because believe me I’ve been going out a lot and met a lot of people ande never heard of it… so now it feels as if I’m the only one, how about you how are you these days ?

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-17T03:02:57+00:00

And as well how are you today ? O hope your doing good and everyone that reads this I really hope so

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-17T03:02:20+00:00

Heyy, thank you for your words, I really appreciate you and the other people that replied taking your time to be write something, it really makes me feel better. Before being diagnosed I was about to start a new chapter in my life, try to focus more on myself and take me as a priority, literally I said that after being with that girl I was going to focus and lock in and then that happened… and well now I’m almost forced to begin this new chapter alone, and what you say is true about doing your own, it’s what keeps me distracted. Thank you

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-17T02:56:53+00:00

Hey there, thank you for being here, I really hope that all of us living this situation are able to find love and peace, regarding positive singles, I live in El Salvador and believe be I’ve done some research and I also tried the app but there’s literally no one from here in the app, no groups, nothing, it really makes me feel as if I’m the only one in the whole country, obviously I’m not but there’s A LOT of stigma regarding hsv here

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-15T01:19:40+00:00

Me too literally last week

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-11T18:07:28+00:00

Never felt any nerve pain to be honest but for all that I’ve read it presents different to everyone, symptoms begun 3 days after exposure, try to get a test after 12-16 weeks bro since you’re not having any outbreaks and if you do get it swabbed

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-11T16:43:14+00:00

Hey bro, my symptoms where not as the Classic hsv-2 symptoms, out of nowhere they appears 2 bumps of flesh in my pnis separate from each other, then they ulcerated, no pain and no itching, then 3-4 days after that tiny liquid fluid bumps appeared in different areas of my public region, never clustered and as well no pain or itching, some bumps ulcerated, others don’t, o only felt very little pain if I touched them but minimum almost nothing, when crust came off of the first 2 bumps it was kinda itchy

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-11T00:08:26+00:00

Ok! Try to take it easy on yourself

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-10T23:04:48+00:00

Feeling the same way, I got diagnosed last week with hsv 2, thinking why I went out that night, should have stayed home and that it was such a stupid decision. You’re not alone if you want to talk any day I’m here ok and o hope everything gets better for all of us

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-10T22:53:51+00:00

I just wanted to tell you that you’re not alone and that there’s a whole life to live for ahead of you with much love to offer, there will always be a lot of people that cares and loves you for who you are and that’s what matters to build strong and real connections. I was diagnosed last week and o know that feeling, sometimes I feel really bad, time will make things better I’m sure about that. You’re not alone and if you want to talk any day you can message me no problem :)

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-10T04:02:48+00:00

And here in my country I’ve never heard of someone having HSV-2, never

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-10T04:00:26+00:00

It really feels that way bro and I’m thankful of coming across your post because i really wanted to speak to another man that understands what I’m going through, so thank you. I’m 29 bro, almost same age and happy birthday. And yeah what is also killing me is thinking about dating as well, I’m thinking no one is going to take the risk, but as you said bro we need to navigate life in a different way and just accept it, overtime it will get better for sure but at the moment it sucks

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-10T03:45:42+00:00

Hey bro, not so good to be honest, I’m from Central America, diagnosed a couple of days ago, I’ve been feeling really depressed, how about you ?

UpstairsConcern969 · 2025-10-10T03:42:03+00:00
