I just found out this week that I have HSV antibodies, and I just can't cope with it. I confronted the person I had been intimate with and he was so apologetic and pretended like he didn't know. I found out from someone that works with him that he had infected someone else at the job and his wife divorced him a couple years ago because he infected her. I been with this guy for a year and he did not tell me this at all. He did not give me the choice to say yes or no about this condition. I am so hurt, and I am having a hard time with it. I am just laying in my bed and do not want to get out. I understand this has happened to other and I an needing someone to talk to. Please help

My heart goes out to you...:(. I am so sorry to hear this. Did you have an outbreak..is that why/how you found out?

I would have him take a test too...then it will show that he's had it for a long time.....knowing me though..I'd confront him about the other information that you have....

It's one thing to not know you have it..(like me)..and pass it on to someone..I feel HORRIBLE about passing it to my bf not even having a cold-sore on my mouth at the time..but to KNOW you have it, and to not tell someone is another story..................apparantly, he did not learn any lessons from his past experiences of infecting people.........:(

Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you and am very sorry for the situation you are in..........

I'm so sorry you are going through this and I know exactly how you feel. I may not be the best one here for support because I'm still trying to cope with this myself. I asked the guy who infected me if he had any std's I could catch and he flat out said "no, never have". I don't believe he DIDN'T know and I am so angry he couldn't be honest with me. There are some wonderful people here that are willing to lend an ear and just be here for you. Unfortunately it looks like most of them are enjoying the weekend right now. I hope you and I can reach that point soon because this feeling really sucks! I am sending you a PM, if a shoulder to cry on helps, let me know.

scourned1,

In the simplest words, I feel what you have written... that there was no choice in your situation. Your trust has been violated. I know that feeling from my girlfriend who did not know she had herpes: reason being that she cheated on me within 12 days of moving into an apartment together from a month and a half apart. Trying to make the relationship work, and trying SO hard to not give up has taken its toll. Two outbreaks and two and a half months later, I am moving out of the apartment, and from her. Like you, I did not have a choice. Like you, I have felt that betrayal.

Please, read what everyone writes over and over again, and know that you are not alone, and can be feel happiness again. You are not alone... we are here to help you.

      I’m super confused I need answers

      By Hiitsmeimtheproblem · Posted

      To give some context I hve been suffering with this for the last 6/7 years this came about after I had varicella zoster on the inside of my body a week after I started getting clusters of spots on the top of my buttock they are not painful as such can be itchy at times but majority of the time I don’t feel it when I have an outbreak. I’ve been to various doctors who say it’s a fungal skin infection or a bacterial skin infection. I’ve asked if it’s herpes but they will say it’s not without even testing it.

      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.

      top lip bumps

      By harrygauff · Posted

      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
