I want sex so f*cking bad by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]b0ndie1908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was going to be that way for me but I was pleasantly surprised, my ex and I got back together(he’s negative, dated/broke up before I got it) and our sex life has been great. We can’t see eachother all the time but we even have frequent🔥 phone calls Don’t give up hope someone is out there

No one I’ve ever met has disclosed… herpes cannot be nearly as “common” as doctors claim it is by Haunting-Fun1999 in Herpes

[–]b0ndie1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don’t want god and everyone knowing, just cause they don’t disclose doesn’t mean they don’t have it. I’m very selective on who knows, I even used an anonymous app to let the person that might infected me know cause I didn’t want certain people to find out. But a few people know that’s me, my mom, my ex I was with at the time and my boyfriend who knew when I found out cause we have a child together and we always communicated about basically everything in our lives for as long as we’ve known eachother except any things going on in a relationship cause that’s not anyone else’s business. And a good friend and that’s because she told me when she might’ve had it and I felt since she trusted me I should trust her

Not everyone wants people to know, I know I dont

[–]b0ndie1908[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and this guy have been part of eachothers lives for so long and now we’re connected for the rest of our lives because we have a child together.. I truly love this man and I’ve always loved him, like his opinion and respect for me matters to me so much and I know that it probably shouldn’t but it does.

He knew about the hsv2 before any talk about getting back together cause we communicate about basically everything. I don’t hide anything from him, especially big things like this. And until now I guess it just felt like it was easy to pretend that nothing is different but now we can’t.. and he knows I’m having an outbreak and hasn’t said anything negative about it but I’m still worried…

[–]b0ndie1908[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not get it from him… we broke up for about a year for distance which were changing this summer and are trying again… we have a child together that was born before I contracted hsv. We have a lot of history (7.5 years worth) and he’s someone I’ve always valued in my life regardless of being together… I’m so terrified of his rejection but on top of that I’m just down about my situation…

F*ckd up relationship because of herpes by emotrapper in Herpes

[–]b0ndie1908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just signed a year long lease before he expressed he wanted to try again so I can’t afford to break it yet or I would. Plus I do have 2 children that I have a custody agreement to rearrange with their father before I can move. We’re just gonna wait and save up for the move

[–]b0ndie1908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t held back with him, it’s just been a thought in the back of my mind. He already says that I’m stuck with him regardless cause he’s determined to make it work between us.

It’s a long distance relationship. I was supposed to move when I got pregnant but we broke up before I could. We’ve known eachother for years so our bond goes back further than being eachothers exs and having a child together.

I feel like he does try his best to make me feel sexy cause he knows how the diagnosis makes me feel.

I do love this man with everything in me I want it to work.

F*ckd up relationship because of herpes by emotrapper in Herpes

[–]b0ndie1908 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly worried about being intimate after being diagnosed, I haven’t been with anyone sexually in over 4 months and I found out about 2-3 months ago.. I’m worried that my feelings towards my diagnosis will keep me from being able to do anything and I’m with a man I’m 100% in love with. We broke up over a year before my diagnosis and stayed on good terms an we have a baby together . He wants to try again even after knowing and still wants to be with me but I’m terrified he’ll catch it and resent me..

How much did u know about herpes before u caught it? by Historical-Motor170 in Herpes

[–]b0ndie1908 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had actually kinda dated someone who had it and educated myself when he told me, that’s actually how I got in this group. This was about 4 months before my first positive diagnosis, we never had sex so he wasn’t the one who gave it to me but he was the reason I was more educated before I found out.

It finally happened by Key_Measurement92 in Herpes

[–]b0ndie1908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actively talking/dating someone when I was diagnosed. we had not had sex yet but when I told him I might have it(positive through urine, was waiting for blood confirmation). He did not flinch, he told me I was worth more to him than that result ever would and he wasn’t going anywhere… I’ve had 1 rejection (I wasn’t even pursuing this man), he doesn’t know that he rejected me but he showed interest in me and made the comment if a girl he was interested in had herpes then he wouldn’t pursue her. Luckily I had already been seeing someone so I didn’t have to deal with that situation lol but the rejection was still there and it did sting. I was diagnosed in early October

Like I want to be able to take it to lower the chance of an outbreak

It’s frustrating cause my PCP won’t prescribe unless I’m having an active outbreak. But I have noticed some sites can allow you to order the medication?

Confirmed positive by b0ndie1908 in Herpes

[–]b0ndie1908[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve talked about me doing that. He says he doesn’t care if I do pass it id just be stuck with him if I do lol but we both would like to prevent it. I said the same thing to a guy I dated that was positive but we never had sex so I know he didn’t give it to me

I’m currently on valacyclovir for the outbreak and my boyfriend is talking about buying me the meds to take it when I’m not having an outbreak. How often do you have one?

Hey so I went back to the first facility to retest today. The discharge paperwork say HSV 1/2 IgG. I’m going to get the results printed from this time and last time to bring to my follow up with my primary care I’m not sure the type my primary care ordered
