Hello all,

I am really new to this. I do not have herpes but i care alot for someone who does. I got to know him for about a week and then right before Valenties day he told me he has herpes. To my surprise and his i did not freak out. Instead i asked alot of questions and he patently answered all of them. The time passed we talked everyday constantly and then one night we got hot and heavy. I got a yeast infection and he got upset at the thought of giving it to me. A few days after that he broke up with me. I have no one to really talk to about this because i have not told anyone that he has this, at his request(which i respect). We did not have sex, but i still feel a conection to him that i have never felt. I would be interested in a long term relationship with him but i feel he is pushing me away.

I also find that he is still taking it really hard. You see he got herpes from his exgirl friend cheating on him. He had not dated for 2 or so years and i am the first he has dated since he found out himself.

Please someone help me understand what he is going through. I care for him and i want to be there but he wont let me!!!!!!

Just try and be there for him. He's probably very nervous because you are his first interest since being infected. Not to mention getting it the way he did, he probably doesn't have the same self-esteem he used to have.

It's good that you are still willing to spend and invest time in him. It will probably take some time, but he will eventually trust in you and be ready to take it slow.

And I commend you for keeping his secret safe, because as a person with HSV-2, I am very scared at having that conversation with a man and being afraid it would get out.

You sound like a very nice person. Just let him know how you feel, and hopefully he will come around. He must be having a very hard time with this.

You are probably the first person that he told in a while. He probably prepared himself for the worst and did not expect you to stick around. When you did, he did not know how to react. He was probably not expecting this, but I am sure with your support as others have said he will come around.

      Hello there @momma267 and welcome. There is no reason to believe that what you have there is other than a pressure sore, something that has emerged from rubbing with clothing or butt cheeks and exacerbated by bacteria or yeast.  Note that the first you’d learn of herpes is unlikely to be on your butt, instead where it enters your body, this is usually within the vaginal lips for females.

      So to begin with, I am 26 and have been with the same partner for 8 years. I have only been with three people ever, one completely protected and the other we were both our firsts. I got this rash on my but while pregnant and my doctor said she was testing for it and I'm so confused. I've had two babies, breastfeed, and never had anything as much as a cold sore. Does this look like something anyone has experienced? I used fragrant soap down there and am hoping it's contact dermatitis or a heat rash from sweating and gaining so much weight.  Advice would be helpful. I'm stressing out a bit as I am pregnant.

      Hi, it is me again, apologies for the recent influx of posts. I've noticed a slightly raised area on the middle of my top lip with what i feel are some bumps. i do have a habit of biting my lips a fair bit and this area is frequented by my teeth. I haven't noticed any unusual/abnormal tingling or burning or pain sensations. the photos are a bit difficult to focus on them but do these seem like the start of cold sores? note: I will be visiting the drs for an std checkup in the coming week. https://imgur.com/gallery/YLVA5us

      To give everyone confidence that it wasn’t herpes related and conclude as the doctor did that it was a dermatitis issue to refer back to the dermatologist to continue with investigations.
