Newly diagnosed with GH

Hi
Today i was diagnosed with genital herpes.. when the doctor told me the results were positive i couldnt help but sob.. and now i feel so disgusting i cant even bare to look at myself in the mirror..
Last week i had knicked myself shaving and thought nothing of it because its an often occurance, that night i had protected intercourse with an old flame who i hadnt seen in almost 13 years.. everything was fine until two days later the left side of my vagina became very itchy and swollen.. naturally i thought i had razor burn or an ingrown hair.. but soon enough 4 small blisters popped up around the area... i battled with the pain for a whole week until i decided it was time to go to the doctors (this was 3 days ago) ... the doctor wasnt so sure so he took a swab .. but put me on anti viral anyway.. and i must admit.. taking this has helped the outbreak go down significantly ( the nerve pain, the blisters etc ) but for 3 days i was researching constantly trying to convince myself it may have been follucitis or even a bacterial infection... but today i got the news and i am absolutely devastated... i am sad to think that any future relationship may be ruined as soon as i have to explain i have genital herpes.... all ive wanted in life was to settle down and fall in love and i feel like in this short week my dreams have been shattered...
Will i ever come to terms with this???

Did the test tell you which kind of genital herpes you contract? HSV-1 or 2?

She showed me the lab report it it said HSV-1 not detected.. HSV-2 dectected..
I have to say my heart sank... i suffer from panic attacks as well.. so this has certainly brought the anxiety on : (

Just make sure to take the medication religiously, and plan a way to lead a healthy lifestyle. This is what I have heard prevents future outbreaks.

But I read that the chances of you passing on to a partner when you have gone past the incubation period, and have no symptoms or illness etc are around 4%??
Like I said I'm also new to this but there is someone on here called feliscactus who is really clued up on herpes so hopefully they can offer you good advice?
Good luck and hope you feel a little more optimistic soon xx
