I was just diagnosed with hsv 1 genital about 4 months ago. I'm on my second outbreak & it just hard accepting it. I get really sad and depressed sad I'm actually doing better this second out break maybe because I'm accepting it & just trying to move fwd with my life. I have hope this "vaccine" is true and maybe in years from now of they approve it to be successful we'll all have a chance to start over. If not I really hope I do find someone out there for me. I want to have a family and kids one day and I feel like that's not possible anymore sad

    I've not heard of a cure or vaccine for it. Where did you hear about this? And don't worry. You'll find the right man one day eho will accept you the way you are. Regardless of this disease or not!

      I looked it up on Google under 2015 herpes update and it came up. Now a days I don'tknow what to believe because I know they lie a lot in the internet but why would they put false hopes. It says it's not approved but maybe in years it will. Scientists experimented on mice and it was affective.But who knows 😔 & I truly hope so, that's the hope that keeps me going.

    Well Susan, I'm sorry you had to join the H club, but sometimes the worst happens to the best of us. I promise you won't feel so devastated by this in a few months and it keeps getting better, as time goes on.

    We all feel that way at the start, but it will pass, don't worry.

    Please do not focus on any of that stuff right now in regards to vaccines and meds. It is not going to come any time soon, I've done the research. There is only one med that has passed human trial and it would wipe out all antivirals... The "FDA" felt they need further investigation on it, although no side effects were shown in the human study. It's all about money. This one med that is only 75mlg and is almost the same as a vaccine to a point, is being held from being released, becuse they are corrupt and get money from big pharma.. It would cause pharma companies to lose 100s of millions. So please let that go hun, because you're just going to be disappointed.

    Learn to focus and accept you as you are now and not what the future MAY bring.

      Reading your comment definitely did bum me out because I know they are corrupt but I had hope. But your right letting that go is best so I won't be disappointed. & your right it's just so soon for me so I do have a hard time with all this. I am trying though, I'm actually going to a group meeting this next weekend.& I hope it helps and interacting with others going through the same.

      & thank you , knowing that others have found love and have kid gives me comfort💜thatts great you had a successful closure too smile I hope I can one day too.I don't want to live a lie and not tell potential partners my condition, but it's so hard. Can u help? How do I know when it's the right time and if it's the right guy to tell. How bout if I tell them & he runs, if he runs that's fine I know he's not worth it but I wouldn't want anyone that I tell my condition taking my roll and telling others. That's what I most fear rolleyes

      Well that is the one good thing about herpes, it can be your wingman. No longer does your list get mistaken for true intimacy, that blinds you to red flags. It makes you stop and take a real good look at the person in front of you and learn their character first and if they are truly trustworthy. They not to think about that now, it is way too soon and like putting the cart before the horse. You will no when the time is right.

      I really encourage you, if you haven't done so already to join H Opportunity. That has disclosure pamphlets and disclosure videoes and is a great support forum w other fellow H people.

    I've heard of the vaccine/treatment. I wasn't too sure if it was true or not but from what I read, it said that they were just starting the lab tests meaning that it'll take a while for it to get to human trials let alone on the shelf.

    I know how you feel about thinking it's not possiblw to find someone accepting, I've had hsv 1 for almost 8 years now, and out of the three guys I've been with, only one was accepting of it. But you just have to wait it out. It's not like this is a death sentence. There are plenty of ways to protect yourself and to treat this if it does get passed along. I found in my countless hours of research that even chicken pox is in the same "family" as hsv. So it's really more of the stigma that is attached to it that has people worrysome so if you find a guy who is willing to sit down, let you explain it, and do some research on his own, then you should be fine. The other 2 guys I told were only unaccepting because they were ignorant and wouldn't let me explain or do research. So just live your life. You'll find someone one day.

      Thank you staci21292 . I have hope that I will find someone who is willing to hear me out and give me a chance. It's unfortunate that I caught this virus but I guess it was just meant to be. I talked to the wrong guy who I really liked and he ended up just being an asswhole & now I have this because of him. It's so unfortunate. But no matter my condition I didn't keep trying to pursue him because I don't like when guys make me feel unappreciated. How are u doing now after so many years of having it? Are you happy? I want to be happy. Will I get past this? So many questions I'm sorry. Also how do you tell potential partners? I need help. I don't want to live a lie, I want someone to be with me knowing my condition & still loving me. I'm still the same person. I want to feel beautiful & when I have these outbreaks I feel like I'm pretending I'm normal and I'm not.Although there's many going through this I feel like the only one in my social crowd sad

      It actually took me a few years to really accept that I had it. Thankfully I only had 2 outbreaks in 7 years so that was fine, but they've been showing up more and more and it's put me into a really deep depression. I mean, it's not solely that but there is a big factor in it because I've been sleeping with someone who doesn't know I have it. And I've tried telling him but every time I try, the chance is taken from me.

      You will get past it. I'm still working on getting past it, but it seems that every day it's easier and easier to deal with. Especially when I'm not having an outbreak. In regards to telling partners... I'm not the best at it. I told the guy who gave it to me and he was fine, and still to this day feels guilty that he gave it to me. I told another partner and he had the best response of "okay, we'll deal with it together" and then my most recent ex treated me like I had the black plague... another reason for this deep depression.

      But everyone is different. It will get easier and more manageable. The best advice I can give is to just ensure that you can trust who you're telling. The most recent ex is now going around telling EVERYONE he and I know that I have it. And we have alot of mutual friends. And it's important to have people around you who support and love you no matter what because there are a lot of people who are so wrapped into the stigma that they don't care to hear anything you have to say and that's where the good support system comes in. Stay strong

      There are several therapeutic vaccines being researched/developed at present, but they are for people already infected with HSV-2 (not HSV-1) and are still in the trial stage, so it will probably be years till they are made widely available, unfortunately.
