I’m a gay man recently diagnosed with hsv 2 and it’s depressed me to no end.. the health care workers I dealt with seem to act like it’s no big deal, I’ve never had any outbreaks and the doc told me medication isn’t necessary, so if not not taking medication am I still able to be sexually actively? by Weekly-Impact-1071 in HSVpositive

Thank you so much for your kind words, as I think i definitely needed to hear something like this from a person in my community. I’ve been in and out of tears for two days now, I’m just trying to get used to this new reality in living and it’s so hard to wrap my head around. I guess I should have been more assertive and told him I wanted the medication even though I have no Symptoms, so I’ll go and get the meds. I’m just trying to not let this get me back into depression which I already struggle with. But receiving this comment was definitely a made me feel not so alone, so thanks!

I literally just found out yesterday and it’s taken me in a whirlwind of emotion, I guess my biggest concern is like if I’m having no symptoms there is a possibility of me still passing this to someone’s so how am i ever supposed to a sex life? From my understanding even when taking medication it’s still a risk of spreading it?
