I have herpes...now what
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi everyone, I have just recently been told that I have genital herpes. I had sex last Saturday with a guy that I have been seeing for awhile now but we are not dating. On Monday I noticed some irritation and itching and thought I may have been a yeast infection, so I went and got canesten. On Tuesday I noticed some red pimple like bumps on the outside of my vagina, mostly on my butt cheek and thigh. this freaked me out so I make an appointment with the sexual health nurse on Friday. She told me it was herpes, she swabbed me but said I may not get positive result because they were always starting to crust over.
I had sex with this guy many times before and have never had anything like this happen. I realize that herpes can lay dormant inside our bodies and can be triggered at anytime. But how do I tell him that I may have gotten herpes from him, or that I could potentially haven given it to him also.
I am just looking for some advice on how to tell your partner you have herpes, and how do you live a normal life with this disease. This is my first outbreak and so far it has been terrible and painful.
How often do others get outbreaks and what can you do to prevent them from reoccurring.
I have so many questions, I don't know where to begin. I am feeling very overwhelmed, scared and alone.
