Okay I didn't know that I would be anonymous in this forum lol.  I got diagnosed with Herpes a few years ago.  It definitely sucks, but don't let it ruin your life.  I was with a douchebag who had it and didn't tell me and then all the sudden I get to experience the painful embarrassing sores on my vagina. 

The important thing to remember is life goes on. 60% of the population has herpes and it doesn't prevent you from leading a normal life, having children and so on.  Get on antivirals, and take care of your body.  Try to lower your stress levels as that is a big trigger.

Currently I am engaged and although it wasn't easy, I have told my fiance and he is very supportive,  I actually just recently got over an outbreak.

The outbreaks get less severe and last shorter periods of time as time goes on, and eventually you will probably not have outbreaks hardly ever anymore.

Do not beat yourself up, it is not like you did this on purpose.  Just remember that the right person for you will love and support you anyway, and just use protection to prevent you spreading it to other people.

yeah, a lot of people have herpes. I do not, but several people in my past have had it, and as the first reply said, the outbreaks decrease in severity and frequency. Life goes on, although sometimes with a little more pain.

Yeah, the people who freak out on you if you have it, are just uneducated about the disease.

Realistically, herpes is a minor annoyance. It is treatable and typically not too severe. You have to tell potential partners you have it, though. I suppose that's the worst part. If they're mature, it shouldn't bother them too badly. If it does, you don't need them. You're just fine. You might feel dirty, but you shouldn't. You're not. It's a very common virus.

I do not have herpes, only education.

A good example of someone who is ignorant.

It sucks.

You're dealing with a serious, but tolerable affliction. You ABSOLUTELY have to tell anyone you have any sexual contact with about it, but aside from that, with care and attention, it shouldn't impact your life too negatively. As unfortunate as it is, millions of people have this-- I don't blame you for being really upset...but you're in heavy company, and you'll be ok--

:peace:

I certainly don't blame you for being upset either, I was devastated when I first found out and thought my love life was going to be over. But take care of yourself and keep your head up, and it will only be as bad as you make it.

You will find someone who will love you despite the illness and you will be able to control it and keep from passing it on with the right research, and knowing your body and knowing when you are about to have an outbreak.  Besides, antivirals work very well.

I caught it 3 years ago from someone who had it, but didnt tell me. Arsehole.

I was in pain for fucking ages, didnt know what it was then got so severe I knew it wasnt just going to go away so off to the docs.

It was proper serious when I went to get checked, the nurses were surprised. Felt like pissing razors, thorns and spikes and sores were everywhere.

Got tons of medication and cleared up after a couple of months.
Had about 2 reoccurances afterwards within a year and have had nothing since.

Don't fret about it, take your meds, tell new partners (but so they understand about it, not freak out) and be healthy.


Sorry for the long post, but my experience was a total fucking mission!

i was born with herpes. it comes out on my lips when my immune systems can't keep it under control. it's a little uncomfortable but otherwise totally harmless. the real danger is ignorant folk and the stigma associated with having a fucking herpes sore on your face. my mom gives me some pills that i take for 5 days every year so i rarely ever get it.
