Hi everyone! 

I just want to share my story about my relationship.. me and my ex boyfriend had an on and off relationship.. in those times that we're off, he tried his best to get back at me but i ignored him because of some personal reasons. and then i met a guy who i contracted ghsv2 from. he didnt tell me he had it, he denied it or maybe he doesnt know.. he didnt care about it either.. he has no heart.. may God bless him.. so now, i tried to get back to my ex boyfriend and we started texting again. i just dont know where this would lead us.. but if ever he wants me back again in his life, i dont know how to tell him.. should i tell him? or should i just walk away.. i'm scared of what would be his reaction..

First, are you sure this is HSV-2? How were you diagnosed, swab or blood test and what were the results?

I think you indicate that you have had just the outbreak at the time of infection? Could it be HSV-1?

Did you have an outbreak? When did you have the blood test relative to the outbreak? Was it IgG or IgM? What was the numerical result?

3 weeks is a little soon to test positive via a blood test unless you had it already.  Blood tests look for antibodies that your immune system creates to fight the virus and it can take up to 12 weeks for your immune system to create them.  What was the value of  your test?  If it was below 3.5 then it may have been a false positive.  Here is a link to an article that talks about that:

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/STDs/IGG-Test-Result-Confusion/show/593272

Anyway, to answer your question, don't be afraid to disclose to him if you are indeed a Herpster.  Just casually ask him if he has ever had  a cold sore.  Most people have and many don't think anything bad about it.  Then say you get them but not on your face.  Make sure he knows what causes them and tell him if he does not.  Has he ever been tested?  90% of all adults have the herpes virus.  Anyone who has ever had mono, chicken pox or mono is a Herpster.  Most people who have it don't know because they have never been tested and have never had symptoms.

Good luck!

JB

thanks for the info.. if its a false positive, does it mean i dont have the herpes virus? or does it mean that there's a lesser chance for me to pass this on to my partner?

Well then it is all up to you. If you have it, then he has accepted the risk that he either has it or may contract it. For your part, it is not at all confirmed you have HSV-2, but this partner may have it and you'd be taking an infection risk.

      Help...

      Hey @JS.245 and welcome to the website. The pictures aren’t that suggestive of herpes. Hard to tell from the pics what’s going on, but that could be a number of things. Are the larger bump bubble things persistent? What you have in the pics is hence independent of your herpes status.  The test results are inclusive - most people test over 5 if they are infected.  Do you have a history of oral cold sores?

      Hey, just got a STD test a while ago after noticing these showing up at the base of my penis, but its been about 5 months since I was with someone and now these are showing up. It doesn't hurt nor do I have any other symptom that I know of. I'm trying to see what's up before I go to the doctors because I don't have insurance and I'm very anxious about the situation. the std test was expensive as is.

      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!
