I just found out i have genital herpies how do

Posted , 5 users are following.

I just found out I gave genital herpies. I am so embaressed. I have no idea how to cope. I have a baby, i know she needs me. But i am just disgusted in myself. I wish i could runaway. This is the third outbreak(im assuming) ive had these symptoms twice before and had unprotected sex with my husband during the times. He somehow has never caught them. Im in debate on telling him what i have, or each time just saying i have an infection. Does this get easier. Do herpes let up? Do they go away? I am so sick to my stomach about this. I never noticed genital herpes on any parteners before. Idk how i got this. I hate myself.

    It is the matter of time.

    Hi there, I'm also new here.

    The results can be devastating & depressing, Im sure I have herpes too but not sure yet which type. If you're scared of telling your husband, let me tell ya. If he loves you he will be with you. In my case, I cheated on my bf & gave him HSV2. He showed immediate symptoms, its been 3 weeks since my infidelity & I still show no symptoms & my result came back negative today but I'm going to test again. After my stupid selfish mistake my bf of two years is hurt but he loves me & decided on staying with me & giving me another final chance. This has been a very traumatic experience for me, I know I will never do this again, specially when he has always been the perfect one in the relationship. Im going to seek professional help with a psychologist & also do a couples therapy so I can cope with this. Im so depressed, & disgusted with myself. I wish I can go back in time & never cheated on my bf. But from what I've read, I see the outbreaks become less frequent over time. also read experiences in monogamous partners where one had it all along but weren't aware of the virus since it can be dormant for years. I believe you can test if the virus is new or old.

    In the beginning I was hurt, angry with myself and the person who gave it to me and I was disappointed in myself. I eventually moved pass those feelings but I do have my days where I want to question God and I breakdown in tears. But you have to remember that you have a little one who needs you and depends on you and for that reason you keep moving and living the best life that you possibly can live. Tell your husband what is going on and trust that things will work out for the best. I take suppressive meds in my best attempt not to pass this to my boyfriend. But even before taking the meds I was having maybe 2 or 3 ob's a year. Just hold on you will learn to Live and deal with this virus.

    One how do you know you have herpes?  If you do how do you know you gave it to your husband?  If you do have it why would you want to live your marriage with a lie?  Go get tested if you have not? Then have a discussion with your husband

    If you are positive u have herpes (got a positive test result) u really need to talk to ur husband & have him get tested. He may have it & just not have symptoms. My boyfriend gave it to me & he never had symptoms so he didn’t even know he had it.
