Hi ohio23;

I have a few questions for you. Was your herpes diagnosed by a doctor? Are you taking any medications for it? Because sometimes people think they have it, but they don't really. Assuming you did see a doc, it's normal to be depressed at first upon hearing the news.

So...the next thing I'm going to tell you is that your life isn't over. This virus will not keep you from leading a healthy and happy life and someone will fall in love with you (assuming you're single) even though you have herpes. You won't have out breaks all the time...in fact, some people can go years between outbreaks. You will learn how to manage things and get through out breaks and you'll adapt. :)

You should probably speak with the two suspects and let them know what's going on so that they can go get tested. If they knew they had herpes and didn't tell you, that sucks.

I hope you start cheering up soon...

Take care.

I was diagnosed about two weeks ago and it was pretty hard for a while. Mostly just during the OB i was having. I had a lot of the same feelings as you, but then i thought there's no point in being upset, because it only makes things worse. As hard as it is, try and make things positive. Be thankful you are blessed with a life. I think sometimes we all get worked up over this virus "herpes" and it's pretty dumb. Herpes has always been looked down upon, so when we are diagnosed we feel angry, dirty, and like everyone is going to judge us. If society only knew ITS JUST HERPES, big deal. We probably wouldnt get so upset about it. I think its the fact that everyone always tells you herpes= std, herpes= bad. Okay sorry to ramble on, but feel free to post more, we're all here to help eachother =]

I understand it's hard. I was diagnosed about a month ago, and still I suffer from the good day/bad day deal. I could be having a really good, on day and all it takes is one herpes joke from someone who has no idea and it can just ruin my entire day and then it's all I can do to not cry hysterically.

But just so you know, it gets a little easier and easier each day. Learn all you can, educate yourself so you can educate others, and take all the time YOU need to help sort yourself out.

I wish you the best of luck.

Sorry you're dealing with this, but it's not the end of the world. You will find out that it's a very manageable condition to deal with, if you are responsible. A friend of mine was infected (intentionally) and dealt with it by being open BEFORE being intimate with her next partner whom she ended-up marrying. She didn't tell this person until she was sure that she was in love, and that this person felt the same as her. The entire world doesn't have to know and it's really only your business and those who might be infected. The virus does not define you, always remember that.

      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.

      HSV genital likely?

      By FeelingLost75 · Posted

      Hi (I’m really scared and feel really disappointed in myself and worried about my future), I had oral sex with a condom almost 3 weeks ago and a massage parlor. I also received a hand job at the same time prior to putting a condom on, also may have rubbed my penis on her back a little. Did not touch her genitals I don’t recall any sores on her back. After the event she handed me a pice of TP and after I took off the condom I wiped my penis head to clear away the excess ejaculation…this is where I suspect I got infected, she had just gone pee and wiped and maybe touched a sore or something and then I got it on my penis from the tp? Idk. I’m just flailing.   After this I’ve had discomfort on the skin below the head of my penis and 4 bumps for 2 weeks now, the bumps don’t seem to have changed in size. I also had frequent urination for about a week and have had dull pain in my groin on and off. I also have some pins and needles on the sides of my abdomen/trunk that get worse when I go out in the heat or get dehydrated. I’ve had a lot of trouble sleeping, likely due to guilt and shame and worry about the future.   so I got one test done at 10 days from the event (idk know if this can tell me anything… the doctor assured me it was 100% correct and I don’t have herpes. I was not physically examined). I got a full panel std. neg for everything. HSV-1 results: IgG 0.3 / HSV-2 IgG 0.9 hsv-1 IgM = 2.2 hsv-2 IgM = 3.0 (Reference V. Negative: Less than 9.0 Borderline: 9.0 to 11.0 Positive: Greater than 11.0) I have an appointment with my GP on Thursday, hoping he can help. Will likely go to a std testing service tomorrow to see if I can get in an antiviral proactively. Plan to get tested again this week.
