I just got the call this morning saying I'm positive for HSV 2. I've been waiting impatiently for these results scared to pieces. I already suffer with depression and this has made it absolutely worse. I just wanna kill myself. I gave it to someone who I love with everything in me. Who I have told everything every step of the way. I never meant for this. The guy I got it from knew he had it, and gave it to me. But never told me anything. And I don't know what to do or how to handle this. I can't stop crying. I'm not strong enough to live with this for the rest of my life. Having to tell anyone I come in contact with physically that this is what I have. I can't do it.

    I thought my life was over too! I was 17. Here I am at 26 and married. And guess what? Not one guy I told was freaked out by it. I’m not saying tell every single guy you meet... but you just can’t be having casual sex. Once you feel that the relationship is right, discuss this with him before and explain the precautions. Using a condom and if you are on valtrex there’s a good chance you won’t spread it. I’ve told probably a hand full of guys since my diagnosis. Once again, we were in a relationship for a couple of months and I wasn’t just telling random guys. And surprisingly not one guy I told was freaked out. They were all pretty understanding. I totally forget I have herpes now. I feel like it’s just an ugly label. This really won’t change that much  except you really shouldn’t have casual sex. That’s about it! You are gonna be fine! Promise. If I could get through it you can too! smile

      Nice to read your words. 

      I just want to know more about your long experience. 

      Did you transfer herpes to any guy? 

      Did you take precautions and what are they if you take?
