Hi salih703,

I've had genital hsv-1 for the past 4 years. My ex boyfriend gave it to me through oral sex, not knowing that it could be spread this way. We broke up back in December and I recently started dating someone new who is absolutely amazing. I wanted to take things slow with this new guy for numerous reasons, one obvious reason being my STD. We have started to develop a really great connection, and I knew I had to tell him the truth before things progressed any further. After lots of thinking and stressing out about it, I finally got the courage to tell him last Thursday. It was the first time I've ever had to tell someone about it so I was obviously extremely nervous. This guy ended up being really calm about it and he really appreciated the fact that I told him before we had sex. He told me that he really likes me and wants to try to work through it, but just needs some time to think on it.

I wanted to share my story with you because I think I can somewhat relate to what your girlfriend is probably going through. I would suggest talking to her about it. The hardest part of this experience for me is not knowing what my guy is thinking. If I were your girlfriend, I would want you to be as open and comfortable talking with me as possible. Try to avoid listening to everything you find online, as a lot of the information out there is false and negative. Get the facts straight from her, and make an educated decision for yourself as to whether or not you want to continue the relationship. Be honest with her about your feelings and if you don't think this is something you can deal with then I would suggest telling her sooner rather than later.

I wish you the best of luck and if you have any questions about HSV feel free to ask me as well.

      By Mrspinkk · Posted

      Hi everyone  I have Ghsv1. 3 months I receive frequent outbreaks. There are no lesion redness, burning and itching as just a rash. I know that herpes trigger opportunistic infections. How do I know this mushroom or that herpes ?  Do you have frequent outbreaks is living Ghsv1? I feel alone

      New potential partner, first time disclosing

      By LeftCoast · Posted

      I have been positive for about 8 months and I’ve generally been open to friends and family about my status. I’ve tried a brief stint with dating other H+ folks from Postive Singles and it hasn’t really worked out.  There’s this guy who works security at my gym and he’s been chatting me up a lot recently. I like him and I haven’t made any moves but I get the vibe he’s getting ready to ask me out. It sucks because he’s obviously interested and I would love to go out on a date with him.  I’ve never had to disclose to a new person before and I’m really really really dreading this. I’m dreading it to the point where Im wondering if I should turn him down if he does ask me. I hate this. You know I could handle the symptoms of herpes, the only thing that sucks about this thing is that it’s contagious. I have zero problem taking drugs everyday, but valtrex is so fucking inadequate with providing me any reassurance of reducing transmission.  I’m so frustrated. Just give me some better fucking drugs so I can feel confident again.

      What do I do? No easy way out!

      Any advice on on how i can change the way she thinks of her insecurities in the event I ever see her again or hang out with her or do you guys think that it's better too just walk away. The truth is though i never met another girl like her before and she was fine with me having herpes i could tell by the she reacted too it . How do you change the way someone views them self that has low self esteem.

      Note @Asr624 that an IgM result does not confirm a herpes diagnosis. Was the rash swabbed as well?

      Yes it's entirely possible that he didn't know and just now gave it to you. I've been with my husband almost 19 years and he was recently tested and is still negative. It's still possible of course that I could give it to him at any point. Sounds like you have a strong marriage and there is no reason this needs to be an issue other than a minor annoyance. I have 2 healthy children and have had no related medical issues due to HSV.
