      Did your dr. Give you amy medication? It does make you feel disgusting and embarrassed, these forums aRe lifesaver because there's no judgements and you can ask honest questions and get honest answers.

    I'm sorry, I know the feeling, I'm going through it now as well. If it is herpes, it will get so much worse, so be proactive now. I have been using raw manuka honey and tea tree oil. It is supposed to make it end quicker. I found those out from Google.People say it gets better, but moving on once you know seems impossible, I know.

      Been using the honey since Friday, I think I am almost done. No new blisters as of today. They burn a little when you apply, but it does feel better. Also black tea is good, lie the bags on the sores, that's soothing as well.

    If that's what it is life is far from over. I've been positive 10 years with HSV-2. It's SOOOOOO common! If you find out a positive result you'll have mixed emotions. You'll be p*ssed off, sad, etc....but you'll be ok and there is life beyond it. There is even love beyond it. My situation resulted from a total a**hole WHO KNEW he had it! Promise though...You'll be ok.

      Laura he's simply not the one for you. I understand people's choice to stay or go...but if they truly love you...Herpes will not make them run. So keep moving. He's not the right one for you.

      Thanks for all the support it make me feel a little better, but from some of you guys stories im real worried about dating, being that im singel an have never been good with the dating scene anyways a feel like i will never find someone that will accepted me, also i feel if i do tell someone after getting to know them they will tell everyone especially if the know my circle of friends an family. How do you guys deal with this an please tell me it gets easer, i fell like running away an hiding under a rock

      You need to confirm that you definitely have GH and which type first. Type makes a big difference, imo, so try to relax until you get your results back.

      even more confused, call the dr today for results an came back negative but i still think i have herpes, have been taking valtrex for the past few days an lesions are mostly gone, witch makes me think i have herpes. 

      For the last few years i have been getting sores on my inner thigh usually when the the weather pattern changes an if i have exces pubic hair so i would chalk it up to chafing an these sores are in same area, could i have had herpes for years an if so shouldnt have showed up on test result. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

      What type of test did you do? If you have had herpes for a while, then the IgG test would have been positive. IgM test is not recommended. If a viral culture, there's a chance it's a false negative. PCR/DNA swabs are more accurate.

      Just genital herpes. If this is a new infection and the test was for IgG antibodies, you could have tested too soon. Re-test at 3 months from exposure.

      You received oral sex, right? If that's all, then all that's been exposed were your genitals, not your mouth, so no problem to share cigs and drinks.
