Teenager, just diagnosed..

[Hachi]

So.. let me tell you my story..

I don't even know where to start. I'm confused...

Roughly two months ago, it burnt to pee. Bad. I was confused, and scared.

I told my parents, and I went to the Urinalogist (SP). He sent me to get blood taken, and I had a cystogram. He saw nothing wrong in the cystogram, but the blood results came back as followed...

HSV1 IGG: 4.12 Interpretation : Positive

HSV2 IGG: 0.57 Interpretation : Negative

So, I am now concluded that I have HSV1.

My doctor has not told me anything about it, except I have been in contact with the virus and I am now carrying it. I do not know if it is oral or genital. I have had no "symptoms" other than burning to pee.

I am young

Scared,

and Depressed.

I suffer from anxiety, and this is not helping my situation.

Thank you for your help Ladies & Gentlemen, looking forward to the community

Hi Josh, welcome to the site.

If you have ever had sexual intercourse or had someone give you oral sex you could have genital hsv1. More than likely though you have it oral since that is where hsv1 prefers to be based.

If you do have it genital the chances of you passing it along are remote, so unless you have blisters down there assume you have it oral.

80% of the adult population has hsv1, so don't feel alone. I bet if your parents got tested one or both of them would have it too.

Come to the Chat Room, there you will find many nice Herpsters who can offer you their support.

Good luck!
