Worst nightmare
Posted , 6 users are following.
I'm 20.
Not going to deny that I've been around a little bit ... But I'm in a relationship , supposed to be a faithful relationship but I guess you can say I messed up on that part. Not like you think tho guys I promise.
I Got diagnosed with herpes 2 TODAY December 15th, 2015
No idea how to deal with this .. At all depression is an understatement . Just want to die .. I don't know what life is , all I do is cry ,
The crazy thing is my boyfriend doesn't even know yet , pretty crazy thing to tell him , he constantly sees me crying and constantly asks me what's wrong ., I don't know how to tell him at the least I can tell him I didn't cheat on him with a dude , but how do I tell him that I have herpes .. And he more then likely got diagnosed with it.
My first breakout ., which is healing from what I can see was pretty bad me and my dude thought it was just a chemical / 2nd degree burn from me using nair like I usually do . But after a swab or two I learned differently . Couldnt wash myself that's how bad it was . A&D Vaseline was like my best friend ..,
I Don't know how in the world I'm suppose to tell him , if he leaves me I don't think I can face with life again , how am I suppose to tell my family? My daddy ? My brothers .. This is like my worst nightmare Come true .. I mean why couldnt I get a disease that is curable , gonorrhea, chalymdia something ., I use to talk down & about people with these type of situations .., I can't get rid of this . I'm a nervous train wreck with fear of what the breakouts will do to me ., all unanswered questions , all the nurse told me was I had herpes ., I didn't get anymore information I was too in shock , I'm still in shock , I just feel like FUCK life (excuse my language) but I have nothing to live for .,, please tell me life gets better ? Feel like dying ., I don't know what life is now

My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years going on 4 in June .. I don't think anything is going on down there everytime I see him scratch his thigh or something I start freaking out . I'm seriously scared that he will leave me and I'll be all alone I don't even want to think about dating or trying over again with this life long disease . The outbreaks is what's going to scare me ., me and my boyfriend have sex and I've been making him use condoms now I'm sure he is going to end up getting suspicious .
How long have you had herpes type 1 ?
How did you contract it if i may ask ? What does the doctor say .. Do you take any meds or anything ? In any major pain when you pee or anything ?
How do you tell your close important family members ?

You guys have been going out for a while and this is your first outbreak? He probably already had/has it. He should probably get tested but i'm guessing he's either asymptomatic (probably won't show symptoms) or really lucky.
I was officially diagnosed a few weeks ago, but my blood test from september said I had it. I was seeing a girl for a few months and then she dumped me. I've only had two sexual partners (including the girl I think I got it from), so this kinda sucks. She's had quite a few partners. The doctor said it was common but on my genitals is a problem for me. I feel like I've got golf balls between my legs. Not on any medication yet, as I hadn't noticed an outbreak until late last week. I don't have any pain when I pee, it's just uncomfortable and my lymph nodes in my groin are inflammed. I dunno how to tell someone. I don't drink or eat behind someone unless they are my girlfriend, so pretty safe there. Probably won't tell anyone unless there is potential to date them (obviously before though).

I didn't have a blood test done I got swabbed and they told me at the last minute no extras or anything just that I was diagnosed with herpes .
How do you know when you have an outbreak , and how long do yours last ?
Mine is just now healing my first outbreak .. The sores looking terrifying. Can you get oral sex if you have genital herpes ? Or no ? How does that work ?
So many unanswered questions I would love to know ...
How old are you ?

You probably can if you and the other person are careful about not doing it when you are shedding or using a dental dam. But there is always a chance of transmission. I'd shy away from it until your outbreaks calm down and you get a hold of it. I know that they approved Truvada for people who have partners with HIV, but I don't know if it applies to HSV. I'm 28.

Rather than type things up again, take a look at my discussion thread pinned to the top of this forum's homepage. It covers a lot of info about herpes and the questions you probably have, as they were questions I had.
Try to remain upbeat. It does get better, although the emotional side can still hit you occasionally. You'll need to tell your bf at some point, so he can also get tested. Anyway, look after yourself and stay strong!

Do you have health insurance ? Or how does that work ?
What kind of medicine do they have you taking ?
How long ago did you found out you were diagnosed with herpes 2? Did you tell your close family like your parents or siblings ?

How did you get it ? If you don't mind me asking .
I hear that vertex helps a lot ,, you can take that medicine and it can help prevent breakouts for the rest of your life just thinking about it being long term is what is so depressing I'm thinking about taking vitamins to keep my immune system up .
