I still haven't had my blood test yet going tmrw, but Idk when I'll be ready to date, or even have sex again. I'm just done with sex. When were you ready to be active again?

    U are reading my mind. I dont think i will ever want sex again. I have a friend that has had it for about 20 years and its no big deal to her now. She told me she was like that but over time things will get better but right now being newly diagnosed i dont see nor have the desire for sex.

      Just found out a week ago. I go to sleep thinking about it. Wake up first thing i think about. Still hoping there was an error on my test but i know it was accurate.

      I'm the same way! Every tingling feeling I feel I freak out, when I go to pee I'm praying it don't burn ?? all bad. I change rags everyday. I'm so scared of having another ob, but I'm trying to think about it as much.

    i felt the same way.. ive had this since december of 2015.. it does get better as time goes on. i havent had an outbreak at all, ive had mild reoccurences .. but no outbreaks.. it can get itchy sometimes thats the main issues i have .. and i was having major discharge for a little while which made me think something was wrong.. dont get too down.. 

    with every rainstorm there is indeed a rainbow..

      I got diagnosed on July 30th and I have hsv 2. I just can't bring myself to date or think about sex bc I think the moment I let someone know I have it they go look at me differently and work away. I only had one STD in my life and that was trig now I get something I can't get rid of but I can treat which makes it a little bc I could've been worst.

      I know better days will come and the right man as well but as of now I'm trying to get comfortable in my own skin again.
