    I feel the same hun.. i went to the doctors thinking i had a yeast infection and he said it was herpes. I have no idea how i got the infection as i have been with my boyfriend for 6 years and we have both been faithful. I have very bad discharge and its horrible. Im so confused as i phoned the doctors today for the blood and swab test and was told that they were clear but the receptionist was new and wasnt sure she was looking at right thing so now i have to wait until monday. Apparently there is nothing to be ashamed about loads of people have hsv. You can still jave a normal life

      All these things went through my head too and iv not even found the results out but the symptons i have are most likely to be herpes. Try not to over think everything because it will only make things worse. If you find the right person im sure he will not be that bothered. Just think of it this way its only like people getting cold sores on their mouth. They have herpes too. Its only a virus and you can still have a normal life. Tablets will help reduce the outbreaks and transmission is less likely. Loads of people have herpes its not the end of the world. I know its scary having a sti for the rest of your life but you might never have an outbreak again and it will be like you never had it and will be a thing of the past. Chin up and dont worry about it too much smile

      Honey, I have several gfs that have herpes and they are all married now, but one who is in a relationship. He said it was a deal beaker at first and then 3 months later said she was worth the risk. That was the only semi rejection she had. Out of the several girls I know, only one has experienced rejection a couple of times. Now keep in mind, they were still willing to have sez w her, bit not be in a relationship w her. So that tells you right there, they weren't in it to be w her from the start. I told an old flame and he didn't even flinch. It didn't bother him. I'm dating someone as of very recent, I like him a lot and this is on my mind all the time. Mainly because I'm not like most people... I have break out a at least once a month and I feel at least some sort of itching, tingly or crawly feeling once, but likely more a day. So I feel I'm always active, even taking daily therapy and I can't assure someone a low transmission rate. I'd I was like normal people, I coukd. But my immune system is struggling do to some autoimmune disorders.we all know how you feel. We all have felt the same way and just like us, you will move past this. Jut when you are experiencing that pain, do you feel that devastated. It will noy last. My breakouts Noe are nothing and do not hurt me at all. Might feel like a sunburn when I wipe. Hang in there girly, you'll be ok

    First of all the most important part or what you have said it 'MIGHT'. So stop panicking, and stop researching symptoms on the internet - it will only make you more worried. If the test is positive, write me back and then I can help talk you through what I did. How to handle talking to people about it, especially men and parents.

    You are not alone and life will go on. I have learnt one thing from this experience and that is that it's not as bad as you think it is. Life will go on, you just need to be open minded and truthful to handle it.

    Best of luck darling
