feeling alone
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi I'm new to these websites so don't really know where to start. Last year I was diagnosed with herpes, it was my boyfriend at the time that had a cold sore. He obviously touched me and now I'm infected! The shame, embarrassment and pain was unbelievable. I am at a very in denial stage, to be honest I have never really gotten over the fact. I still can't believe it. I'm being very niave and thinking maybe I was misdiagnosed? My symptoms have never really been that bad, I have continous itching but I have never seen any sores. I have a new boyfriend and haven't plucked up the courage to tell him(thinking the doctor might be wrong). I'm feeling very alone and some help would be great.

They should still have your results on file from your original swab test, so just call and ask. Or do you mean that they didn't test the swab due to the public holiday? Surely the latter can't be right! But if so, how were you then diagnosed? Visual diagnoses are not always correct.
Without lesions, you can ask to do the IgG antibody test (not IgM) for Type 1, or both types, but even if it comes up positive for Type 1, that won't tell you where you're infected, so it could just as well be an oral infection (very common), which can be asymptomatic. Type 2 is nearly always genital, so there's less confusion as to where, but then it doesn't sound like that's what you were exposed to anyway.
