Herpes Newbie

Started a new relationship a few months ago. I don't sleep around and I try to be sensible and use protection but on this occasion in this new relationship he swore on his children's lives he hadn't had sex with anyone for four years. From that I assumed I was safe. We spent all weekend together and on the Monday I felt like what I had was bad thrush. Tuesday evening after treating the thrush I was still in agony inside. Wednesday afternoon I rushed up the doctors after finding three small blisters and being so sore inside. The doctor said she didn't think it was GH but I was certain after searching on the Internet and all the answers were GH. She prescribed anti-virals anyway just incase and took a swab from one blister for testing. The day after I broke out in a few more blisters and was able to look closer to find inside I was covered in ulcers too, I couldn't urinate without breathing like I was giving birth. In fact if rather give birth to ten more children than go through that again. The results were supposed to be back today but when i phoned the receptionist said phone back tomorrow. I know it's GH even though the GP didn't think it was but I'm still holding on to that tiny bit of hope it's something less life changing. In reality I know that's not what I'm going to hear over the phone tomorrow but I need that confirmation to be able to deal with this properly. Today it's hot me hard and I've been emotional because I think I'm angry that the results aren't back and I've worked myself up.
I have spoke the the other party in all this whom lve found out since breaking out in the symptoms that he has had a three month relationship just before me. He said he had t had sexual inter purse for four years yet had a relationship (hard to believe) but speaking to him all he could say was I have now gave him it and I've got a f'in cheek blaming him. The only thing I've ever caught in my life is a cold and now I'm lumbered with what I'm sure is GH and all I can think of is who will want me now? I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with the other party just yet but I'm sure he must of knew he had this. He never drank alcohol (maybe because it can trigger GH off?). He said he has not had sexual I twrvourse in four years yet has had a relationship and a few other lies I've found out he's told me but not connected to GH. Anyway moving on and although I've only had this for just over a week I would like to share what has helped me and still is as I still am suffering but it's getting better slowly:
Submerging in water I found made the sores moister and more painful. It is important to keep the area clean but a shower I find better. Pain killers are a must. I have an aloe Vera plant which I used the sap from the inner of the leaf to use as a natural paste and that helped at night. Urinating whilst holding a shower hose pointing on your bits help but try not to do it for long as it does the same as a bath and keeps it moist. I'm sure the quicker they dry the faster they heal but again keep the area clean!
Hopes this helps 😕

lawyer fee's on his end because you cant take someone to court for something they didn't even know they had, jerk face. smh.
As for you, please try to be a little more positive. I found out yesterday and had to disclose to my new boyfriend. we've already been active 2 times was unprotected, other times we used protection, but now after learning condoms dont protect you 100% we both freaked out. He doesn't have a blister but i do. I wouldn't let him touch me thatr night until i got up the next morning to find out what it is. I know lots of people with it. Good hearted, clean people that have been in monogmous relationships their whole life. It's just wrong place wrong time, unlucky odds. Anyone can have this, and unless you test every partners' blood your always at risk. So understand you are not alone. The people I know with it are happily married with kids since they've found out. They found men to love them for who they are not what they have.
I'm not sure if you are religious but try praying. I know i have alot lately, and feel bad that it took something like this. But hey, if no one else will listen or be there, Jesus will. God bless. ---HUGS---

i know keeping the area clean from all that grossness is important, but how on earth do people do it? no matter what i do, one tiny brush/touch of my affected area send a shock of massive pain throughout my body.
cleaning it with soap is almost impossible for me, so is putting on any kind of cream or aloe or vaseline. most i can do is run warm water over the area (i only have a shower) for ages, and hope for the best ...
please help.
I should mention this is my first OB, I was unoffically diagnosed today, waiting on my results in 2 days, outbreak started 3 days ago - serious fever symptoms, was basicially bedridden, in so much pain i cant eat or drink (although drinking is from fear of the crippling pain i get from urinating).
