Good afternoon torn-83923
You are not at all alone!!! i haven't even told my Mama and i tell her pretty much everything. It is rather embarrassing because of the stigma that goes along with society. As my doctor told me, 'it's a skin infection' ... she may have used different words? But said something along those lines, so remember that is all it boils down to. In my gut i understand it is a virus that will live inside forever so i deemed it my 'lil friend' OR 'lil thing'. It's not gonna go anywhere so i've tried to be the most optimistic i can. Have came to grips with the fact of what it is & that it IS manageable. If someone doesn't want to be with me because of it then've got to let them move on, if/when I tell anyone i AM COMPLETELY HONEST about what i know (have only told ONE person & he hasn't called since) and that 'lil thing' WILL NOT change who i am. It has, however, completely changed my outlook 👀
This is rather new to me so i am taking time to adjust and get in my head that i enjoy my own company and if someone would like to also enjoy my company they are more than welcome, if not it is best for us both to let them move on.
Sending calm your way as well as peace ?

Hi. I absolutely know ho you are feeling. I found out I had it in May. I'm 66 years old! I've only told a couple of people I trust and my therapist along with the person I was most recently with. Either of us could have given it to the other. Neither of us has had symptoms before now and him not at all yet. It's hard to accept. I did get tested and it was positive. I have had one very painful episode and the second was in a different area and didn't really hurt but was very itchy.
I cried hysterically when I found out about it. I guess because I haven't had a lot of outbreaks I am feeling better about it but it sucks.
Try and find someone you can trust. It helps enen if you just have one person to confide in.
Talk to your doctor about it. They can't tell anyone and maybe he/she can help you.
I wish I could help more but places like this where you can discuss it with others that have this is very helpful and you don't feel as alone.
Good luck to you.
