At least, your husband is supporting you!
There are plenty of people on forums like this who said they have a relationship with partner who are not HSV positives...and even have unprotected sex and don't pass it to each other!
I know it's Gard though. I haven't had sex with my husband since the diagnosis. I cry a lot...and i'm stupid because i do that at night alone. I'm a mother of 2, i don't want my kids to see me cry so i put a mask on and play happy with them during the day but i feel so sad inside. My husband is wonderful and he is so supportive but even with his support, i feel worthless. I feel distgusting. Hubby tells me everyday that i'm not and it doesn't change anything for him but i can't see how it is not gonna change things.he wants me to talk to him and like an idiot, i don't and i cry when he is asleep!
I have the biggest fear to pass it to my baby...he is 3 and a half months and i'm scared of not washing my hands properly and give it to him somehow... My oldest already has oral herpes ( gift from a kid who licked him at kindergarten this Summer ) but i live in fear all the time... I'm afraid i passed it to my ginger cause i have a very strange lesion since yesterday. Might not be it but if it is... I don't even want to think about it!!!
We all got to figure a way to live with this cause it is eating us alive... I don't know how but we do!
At least, it's making me feel a little better to know i am not alone to feel like this!
I hope for a cure too...so everything could go back to normal...i used to not believe in god and now i am so desperate that i pray everynight for a cure...

Hsv1 are 50% of the new cases of genital herpes each year now! The thing is, you are shedding the virus even though you don't have an outbreak couple days a months but there is no way to know when... You probably had a tiny lesion down there where the virus entered...
For me, my husband gave me oral sex for thefirst time after giving birth...i had an appointement with the doctor that day and she said my stiches were healed but i guessed they were not and hubby was shedding the virus... 4 days after i had my horrible first outbreak.
I have been reading a lot about this and it says pretty much everywhere that our parents were so careful with our generation with cold sores that we didn't have the proper antibodies for that now and our system is not strong enough to fight it....
I don't know what to tell you to cheer you up because i can't do it for myself. I just refuse to believe there will be no cure for it one day.
They already have a vaccine for chicken pox and zooster (same family of virus) and they have successfull results in curing hiv-aids in labs so why not herpes?

There is no fullproof cure for HIV yet, but they can suppress it if treated early enough, like they can with HSV, although with HSV it doesn't matter when you start treatment.

My uncle is one of the searcher who is working on a vaccine for HIV and they are successfull with rats only so far! But it gives me hope!!

Fyi, there are a few therapeutic vaccines currently being developed to treat those with existing Type 2, which should also help with Type 1, but it will be years before they're available (still in the trial phase). Still better late than nothing at all, so I'm hopeful, too!

HSV 2 is the one responsible for genital herpes. When you have that type, you are most likely to have more breakouts.
Some people say they feel an itch or tiggling somewhere...i'm at the end of my third breakout in 2 months and i still don't know the signs..

I have no help since we are abroad for work...
I'm going to see the doctor again next week so she can put on suppressive therapy because i can't afford to be sick all the time like this!

If you tested negative specifically for both HSV types in the last year, and you have been with your husband for two years, then the only source of both infections is your husband. He should also test, although no need to test for Type 1 since you already know he gets cold sores.
