    Sorry to hear that, at least you finally have a diagnosis I suppose.

    Are you still in pain with sores now?

    You can get antiviral medication to help when you have an active outbreak and some people do take them daily as a preventative but I don't think that is common unless you are having frequent outbreaks

      i tried to upload a picture for you. well i got sick. i had a cold. my throat was on fire , sneezing , runny nose, headaches . i felt bad. my vagina burned a lot . its like someone threw gasoline on my vagina and a match. i could barley walk, it hurt to pee, i sat in a bathtub full of warm water to pee, i could barley work, i couldnt stand wearing panties or pants. i got one sore on my vagina lip close to the like where the anus and vagina separates. it felt like a pimple, it busted , left a open hole, that expanded , then it dried up and went away and left me with a bump under the skin if that makes sense.

    I haven't been diagnosed. I'm here bc I'm scared I may be. what did your dr say about disclosure. One lady on here said her dr said she didnt need to disclose. But I was under the impression you should. IDK, I might just have razor burn. But my anxiety about it all is through the roof!

      My doctor was out of the office when i was told. i talked to the medical assistant. She told me to email the docotor with any questions. They just handed me a sad excuse of a phamphlet . Me personally im so depressed . Love and dating is the last thing on my mind. In the future maybe how i pick men will be better. i want to tell my parnter of my herpes for sure because i would be hurt if they didnt tell me if they had it. its their choice to lay down with someone infected. they deserve to be able to make that decision. But get tested to get a peace of mind babe. im here for you.
