hi,

I was diagonsed with herpes about 2months ago. i have been searching for a web site to talk to people that would understand how i am feeling, and not be judgemental.

i still have to tell the person i believe gave it to me. i feel as if he took away my self esteem, and life. i am only 18, and i have a lot of life to live yet. to cope with the diagnoses, i started writing poetry again, and it has helped a little, but there is still that feeling within me that no one will ever want to be with me and i will be alone forever.

You won't be alone forever but sometimes it's good to start out by yourself so that you can figure out who you are first... know what I mean?

The more you know about herpes the better you will be... keep asking questions and researching.

Hang in there,

Angela

PS Expressing yourself through poetry is a good thing!

Life does go on.

I know how you feel. It definitely affects how you view yourself as a woman. But please don't let it keep you down. There is hope for a wonderful, fulfilling life shared with someone who deserves you for the special person that you are.

I am 32 years old and was looking forward to finding someone special to marry and have children with when I was diagnosed 6 months ago. When I first found out, I felt like my dreams had been stripped away. But everything has worked out. I have educated myself, and came out honestly to those who I might be interested in.

I don't want to paint a rosy picture. When I found out I had it, someone I was interested in at the time could not handle it and is no longer in my life. There may be rejection before you find someone, or you may have to focus on searching out someone else who has it.

Due to the stigma, I have found it helpful to meet people online where there is more anonymity. I belong to a site for people with STDs, positivesingles.com, and have also posted very honest profiles on mainstream dating sites as well. There are a lot of really nice people out there who have responded just to say kudos for being honest. And I have met someone very special who accepts me without being turned off by what I have.

Hang in there, and if you need to talk...

      Pritelivir: At Last

      By @lw@ys · Posted

      Just another set of supporting articles to a potential release date in 2024 giving hope to sufferers whom the standard of care is currently worthless: Promising Progress in clinical trials for Pritelivir (herpescureadvocacy.com) HSV Treatment Readies for Approval — Precision Vaccinations News

      Cheaper Amenalief source

      By @lw@ys · Posted

      I have not found a cheaper source for Amenalief, and I've searched high and low. I have a thread called "Pritelivir at Last" you may want to follow as I have a strong belief that It may be available to the public in the summer of 2024 and as I find new info, I update the thread immediately. Now, may I suggest a combination of drugs that several others on this forum have found to be very effective over acyclovir alone? Myself and others have found that taking 40mg of omeprazole (Tagamet @dissolvedo2 ) with 1 gram of Valacyclovir in the morning and 1 gram of Valacyclovir in the evening alone for 3 days have had profound effectiveness at stopping outbreaks in their tracks. I'd like to remind you that I am not a doctor and at best I am personal researcher for what works for me. I @lw@ys share my findings with the forum in the hopes to help others alleviate their suffering. There is another drug combo that I have tried myself as well as others on this forum have tried and that I personally feel is a much more effective for myself. This combo is 1 gram of activated charcoal with 1-gram of valacyclovir in the morning followed by 1 gram of valacyclovir in the evening alone, again for 3 days. I have found that this has reduced my outbreaks to almost only once a year and they are mild at worse. Again, just a reminder that this works for me and may not work for you but I always feel that i have to share this with anyone that cannot get this virus under control so I hope my findings can help those of you who cannot achieve relief with the standard treatment alone. The stronger anti-virals come with risks and if I can help anyone avoid those risks then by all means I feel I have done some good in this world. I only ask that you let me know if either of these suggestions work for you so that I can document it in my notes. Good luck my friend!

      Terrified I have herpes

      By Damian · Posted

      Hi @WhatDidIDo2023, hopefully all is well with you and your significant other and are still together.   Did she develop any other symptoms after you mentioned her getting itchiness? Was it determined what you had was contagious? Most likely developed a fungal disease and caused her a yeast or uti
