New To The Club

I had a bunch of blisters in between my buttocks. At first I thought it was a bad reaction to shaving. But as time went on the blisters were spreading and weren't getting better. I came to this forum and read atleast 10 in posts before coming to the conclusion that this was probably herpes. I went to the doctor yesterday. He took one look and told me it was genital herpes. He took a culture and I did a blood test so I suppose I'm just waiting for confirmation.

I don't know how to feel. At first I was beyond heated with the man that gave it to me. Now I've stepped back and taken responsibility for my part in what happened. When you agree to unprotected sex anything can happen. Some may see that as me being harsh on myself but I just think it's realistic. We've been dealing with each other for some months. Why now? Why me? I'm young. No kids. How will I lead a normal life? I have so many questions.

How are your sex lives? What can you do? What can't you do? What happens if you don't take the meds? (Doctor told me I'd have to take one a day forever after the initial two a day for the outbreak.) Will I breakout anywhere besides my genital area? Is there any other way I can spread it? Ugh. This sucks.
