Well unfortunately there's no cure I just found out I have it too. I opted in taking valtrex everyday to be on the safe side. I've only had one out break but I just found out this month I had it. Some people have frequent outbreaks and some don't. But don't beat yourself up it's really not the end of the world and nobody has to know until u feel comfortable telling them.

No I haven't noticed any side effects or sickness but I've only been taking them a few days.. And yes those are scams there is no cure because it's a viral infection kind of like a cold u can't take antibiotics or anything for it that's for bacterial infections. U can take vitamins they boost your immune system so the herpes virus doesn't affect u too terribly. The valtrex is to keep it suppressed. My doctor said I can take it every day or when I have an outbreak it was up to me and I chose everyday because I don't want to risk spreading it cause I'm sure eventually I'll have another sexual partner

You'll be OKAY. I felt sadness and emotional distress when I found out that I was diagnosed with G HSV 1. So many thoughts were running in my head - especially ones that were involving future romantic partners and who even gave this to me in the first place. It's scary because sex can be so spontaneous and risky at times.. that you don't even know the true full consequences of what could happen in that moment.
Telling you a personal story on how I see myself being diagnosed. Hope you don't mind. I lost my virginity when I was 21 years old. I got involved with a few other people whom I seen myself dating (but some didn't work out in the long term) who I was sexual with. It is DIFFICULT to not be sexual with someone you feel that type of connection with. When I was diagnosed, a part of me felt it was oddly some sign to stop being so sexual with certain people who weren't worthy but also DO NOT put yourself down for having this. It isn't a disease. It will not end your life. If your current or future partner does not understand your condition, get rid of them. A couple takes caution together and someone who values you will understand that it is simply a skin condition.
Take care of yourself with medicine (I take Valtrex during an outbreak) do your best to keep your diet healthy and don't stress or beat yourself up over it. Stressing makes the outbreaks worst. Don't let society ruin you on their idea of herpes. Most people have it and most people don't even KNOW that they have it.... (that's how we most likely got it) find people who support you and people who you are comfortable enough to speak to about this. True people will understand. I'm so sure you'll be okay. I know it sucks but you're not alone in this. (And it gets much better over the years!) XOXO
