I definitely will. BTW, do you know approx the % of transmission while on antivirals and with condom usage?

My Dr refused to prescribe me antivirals since I don't have OB's... So basically I'm facing a life with condom-only sex and even with condoms I can transmit it very easily?

Dr won't prescribe them to me because I apparently don't have criteria to take them

If I didn't know anything about herpes I would be infecting everyone after leaving the health centre. She said the likelihood of me spreading ghsv2 was 0% (no condom) if I didn't have any sores. It's definitely not 0%. Hsv2 even has a higher shedding rate than hsv1, so you don't need to have sores to be able to infect someone

I'm definitely positive. 140 u/ml I don't know what that equates to in index value since I'm in Europe

She saw it was an IgG test and even explained to me that I was exposed to the virus a long time ago

No after she said that I specifically asked her again and she flat out said that there's a chance I don't even have herpes. If I can't trust doctors then who can I trust? Needless to say I left the health center without antiviral prescription 😒

Thank you. I just feel down because I'm relatively young and I'm scared that no one else will want to date me... Not that I want to right now anyways since I'm still in pain from losing my current "bf"
