still struggling to believe my positive hsv results are real!

Posted , 3 users are following.

hi everyone so 16 months ago i had an "outbreak" it all started when i had what were yeast infection symptoms and i made the big mistake and scratched my vagina with my bare nails then bam! i had what seemed like cuts to me but when i went to my ob and she said it looked like herpes i got a swab and it came back positive i was told that it was a big chance that i had been newly infected. i never took the meds the gave and it cleared up within a week and a half. Now today i'm just so confused because i thought with newly infected outbreaks you would get them more frequent in the beginning, i haven't had anything since i scratched 16 months ago. Me and my boyfriend have been together 7 years hes never had an outbreak and still til this day we have unprotected sex and he has no symptoms at all. am i crazy for wanting to get tested over? not really asking for advice just input i dont really have many people to discuss this topic with.

    The results won't change,some people only ever have 1 breakout and your bf may have it and not be showing signs or he may not have it. I've been having unprotected sex for a almost a year now and the guy got tested recently and he doesn't have it 😊 ......just be glad you dont have frequent outbreaks to annoy the hell out of you because i was like you and when i got the same idea as testing over to make sure then i started getting them every 3 months or so

      When i have an ob they usually last a week or less and i make sure I'm in the clear before we are intimate again. Sometimes i forget i have it until i have an outbreak but I'm currently thinking of trying a herbal medicine which should eliminate the virus from my system

      Herpes has no cure, natural or otherwise. There are plenty of things that can boost your immune system and lessen outbreaks (which it sounds like that's already not a problem for you), but please don't hold out hope that you will be cleared by any natural "remedy" or cure that's out there. Billions of human beings have some form of HSV and there is not a single documented medical case of anyone being cured. Save your money and enjoy that your body has handled this virus very well!

      So Dr.Sebi didn't cure millions from herpes etc. through the products of mother nature ?

      Correct, that is a long standing scam, do not waste your money.
