My boyfriend has genital herpes but didn't tell me before we had sex, what shall I do?

Posted , 14 users are following.

Hi,

This is the first time I've been on a forum like this but I don't know what to do and I'm experiencing so many emotions :-( I had been seeing a guy for about a month and a week ago we slept together. We had unprotected sex. Last night he told me he has genital herpes, but didn't have any blisters when we had sex. He has now developed some this week. I'm so angry that he didn't tell me and allow me the decision as to wether I wanted to have a sexual relationship or not!

He said his ex had given it to him from oral sex when she had a cold sore but that she had not been affected by the herpes on her genitals. I don't know what to believe, I feel silly, embarrassed, upset and angry all at once.

If anyone can give me some advice I would really appreciate it.

    I just contracted the cold sore virus on my genitals (HSV 1). Is so silly how I contracted it (brazilian wax), I developed a big outbreak due to mu waxing, then i got a swab test that came back positive for ghsv1.

    It's been 6 months since my Ob and I read a lot of this virus. GHSV1 is less contagious than the typical genital herpes (GHSV2).

    The vast mayority of people with ghsv1 develop only one OB or very few, and thats all. Outside of OB is less contagious because the OBs are infrequently and the shedding is also less than ghsv2.

    If you catch it dont worry ~60% of the population has hsv1 (orally or genitally)
