Hey folks!! I just wanted to post my positive experience with dating and having herpes so that people could get a positive outlook on having it.

First of all I contracted it about 5 years ago. I'm almost 24. I've never dated anyone with it. In the 5 years I've carried this disease I've dated (not slept with) several guys. 5 of which new I had it. Out of the 5 only two dumped me for it. This last guy didn't really dump me for herpes. Had I been more into him (I told him I wasn't 100% into him he's a little too into Starwars, LOL) I genuinely think he would've gotten it for me. So we can go ahead and count that as 1 out of 5 who dumped me because of Herpes. The one who dumped me was a weightlifting guitarist in a metal band who smoked a lot of pot, loved football, and frequented places like HOOTERS. A real "T" and "A" lover. He was pretty dumb (which was annoying) but I justified it with his looks. HOWEVER by the judge of this guy's character you could tell a mile away that his shallow tendencies didn't harvest personal sacrifice. Even if the girl of his dreams had it he wouldn't go for her. But I dated him anyway and it was a shortlived fling since he dumped me after I told him I had it. But there are people out there who do have depth and will go for you. Like I said, I've only dated guys who haven't had it and most of them were willing to go the extra mile. That's what you want in someone, to know that they'll do ANYTHING to be with you. So, keep your hopes up!! More people have it than we think!! Remember, 1 in 4 women have it and 1 in 5 men!! That means our friends that we're too scared to talk to about H probably have it too!

Believe me when I like a guy and I tell him I have it I never feel more connected to life and myself b/c those moments explode with energy, excitement, nervous-ness, anticipation, but also with a huge sense of fufilling responsibility which is very maturing. Most guys are impressed with the courage it takes to say something like that before getting too involved and usually congratulate you on your honesty.

So in the words of Lady Sovereign, if you love me Thank You and if you hate me, F*ck You!

Your great. I love your positivity, I hope to think that way later on when I want to date again.

Starwars...lol ! Poor guy, his whole life probably revolved around waiting for new movies to come out.

      Is this a herpes blister on my eyelid? I think I transmitted hsv1 from my genitals to my eyelid

      By tbc122 · Posted

      https://imgur.com/a/cVi8yJY 2 weeks ago I had unprotected oral sex. Few days later I wake up with a stinging sensation in my urethra. I don't have any blisters, lesions or redness, my penis looks completely normal from the outside, but the stinging in my urethra is always there. Urinating doesn't make the pain worse. From the research I've done and how my body feels I'm pretty sure I caught genital hsv1. To make matters worse I think I transmitted it to my eyelid by touching my infected penis and then my eyelid which did develop a blister. Can anyone look at my lower eyelid and tell me if it looks anything like herpes?  I forgot to add that the blister is painless, but my eye is a bit watery. Other than that it's fine and my eyesight is good. Considering how this all developed in a matter of a week after I had unprotected sex it can't be much else than herpes..

      Hey I see that they also sell the pill form in 100 mg and 500 mg form. Do you think this is as affective? They have the regular and extract version of the pill. Which would you think is the right one to get? And how many pills per day to get the same effect of say 16 seeds?

      How accurate is a blood test for herpes

      By scurrred · Posted

      I had an IGG test  and the ranges were out of range and high  HSV 1 was 42 and HSV 2 was 19 so I guess it was accurate but the problem now is I can't figure out when or who I got it from. In 2018 to 2019 when I was with my ex I was STD tested but not sure if herpes was included but my ex was supposed to get tested but refused. I experienced some trauma with him and didn't date until a year and a half later so I'm confused. The guy I dated after the ex who didn't want to be tested I told them a week ago about my results he was trying to be there for me and understanding,I told him to get tested but to request a herpes blood test , because he had no noticeable lesions or bumps ever is what he said and I never noticed any on him now he has shut down all his social media and I can't reach him. Hoping he's okay, I feel bad because in 2018 I did have what I was told it was an abrasion that tingled but at my doctor the day I was tested they told me it wasn't herpes but I think it was only a visible diagnosis. I keep having it reoccur from time to time

      HSV genital likely?

      By CHT · Posted

      Hello "FeelingLost".... your fears and concerns are understandable but, nothing you've described regarding the sexual encounter would cause you to contract herpes.... further, your symptoms are not herpes related.  Best of all, your doctor is correct, your results don't show any herpes here.  You can relax.... definitely have your GP take a look at things and see what might be causing the symptoms but, again, none of them are typical herpes related.  I wish you the best in terms of talking to your wife about this encounter.... hopefully she will understand and you both can work through this amicably.  We all make mistakes.... be careful not to beat yourself up too hard over this.... you can become so racked with guilt that you start imagining physical symptoms.  Best of luck.... and take care..... come back to the site if you have questions.
