I just found out last week that I have it & I don't know how long I have had it. I have never had a painful feeling down there at all.i found out From doing my regular pep getting tested for everything. & this is a new doctor that I started seeing last year, so I don't know if I have ever been tested before. I am so embarrassed nobody knows, I can't seem to want to tell anybody not even the person I think I got it from. I have lost weight since I found out. I am getting depressed & I stress all day, can't eat, can't sleep.. when will I get back to myself?

    Hello im sorry this happened too u.

    I want to let u know i did this too when i found out . i almost got locked up in a nut house bc i lost it .. I went crazy.. I hated it . i was so ashamed. .i felt so dirty.. I dont even wanna have sex now and its been just a little over a year. . it does pass some of it .. I still feel bad when i break out . i cry still. I hide still. I feel like everyone can tell just by looking at me our mind and the h plays tricks on us .. It gets better.

      Thank you & I am sorry it happened to you to but everything you said is exactly how I feel. I have a appt to start talking to a therapist because this as of right now I can not handle alone. I don't want to go outside at all. The thing I think i fear the most is telling a future partner. I still haven't told nobody.

    I did get conformation thru my blood work & yes it is positive for hsv2 . So where do I go from here?

    But atleast my stressing about it went down. It really don't cross my mind because I don't plan on being in a relationship no time soon or if ever again.

    Thank you all for your comments it really helped me out with feeling alone since I don't have a partner.

    So sorry this happened to you

    My partner of 4 yrs has just told me hes has herpes !!! We split over a yr age for 5 months and in that time he had a 1 night stand and caught it

    Weve been bk together a yr now and he only told me lst week, he said he was too ashamed ans embarassed to tell me !!

    Im in utter shock at the mo cos 1 hes lied and kept this from me 2 he took my right away frm me as weve been having unprotected sex the whole time

    Ive never had any symptoms as in blisters spots or a rash and because i havent i was told at my clinic that they couldnt tell me if ive been infected or not

    Im goin to a private clinc for a blood test on monday because i cant cope with the not knowing

    I totaly get where ur coming from as i cant eat sleep and feel totaly depressed right now i feel like im in limbo and havent told anyone cos i feel dirty ashamed and embarrassed to have possibly caught something that i could o have a choice in

    My heart goes out to you 😘

      thank you!! & I hopeing for good results when you go to the doctor because nobody deserves this even tho it could be worse (well that's what I keep telling myself) to ease my mind but in reality it really really sucks.

      I would have never knew if I did not tell the doctor to test me for everything including hiv (which was negative) & to think I had to end my relationship because I was afraid to tell the new guy I was seeing

      My depression comes & goes, luckily i started back eating before I lost to much weight.

      I think just being able to come up here & talk to atleast 1 person makes me feel a lot better. Because I can find myself telling nobody.

      Keep me posted but I know it's going to come out in your favor 😘
