Tested negative, 6 years on...outbreak!? Help and thoughts please!?

Hmmm strange that they come back negitive then but yes it is possible that it could have been dormant for 6 years some people never have an outbreak so never know they have it then theres the unlucky ones that do have outbreaks.

Iv researched quite a bit over the last few days i was diagnosed with herpes the other day but nobody really knows what triggers an outbreak could have been stress of breaking up with your bf could have been stopping the pill.

If the blisters hurt then take a salt bath just a handful of normal cooking salt tgis soothes them and helps them heal but deffo get to docs or clinic tomorrow

Hopefully tests were right 6 years ago but deffo sounds like herpes to me good luck x

Thanks for your reply!

Don't get me wrong I'm in no denial about what I clearly have. I went through it when I was only 15 and it felt like the end of the world at the time. Especially seeing as I wasn't told that the results were negative for 2 years and the health nurse said that they should have contacted me with the news but they didn't so I assumed they were positive. It's all just a bit confusing. Being 21 now and having already dealt with these emotions I hope it won't be as stressful and upsetting. I guess I should consider myself lucky as I haven't had any problems for 6 year and as far as I know I haven't infected anyone (as my ex would definitely let me know something like that). At least I can only hope this is the case.

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. How are you finding all this new information and coping with it all!?

I do believe it may be something to do with the pill as I have experience a lot of stress over the past 6 years and not had an out break. However from researching a lot of people have the opposite problem, in that they have outbreaks on the pill rather than off the pill. Either way I believe It must be the change of hormones that your body is used to. Although I've been off the pill for 2 months before this has happened. I've started back on the pill now so fingers crossed.

As much as it hurts down there right now (and I'm on my period too, double pain!) I don't want to help them heal until I get examined tomorrow, I want a accurate diagnosis this time! As this is confusing x

Its bad that they didnt tell you weather was positive or negitive but being told they negitive and then having another out break they must have tested wrong god know but i hope your not as emotional this time.

Ermmm im gutted iv been with the same guy for nearly 5 years and havnt had many sexual partners and they used condoms so my guess is i got it from my current bf but he now thinks i must have cheated on him for me to get it and him not have symptoms although they explained to him that even if he does have it he may never have an outbreak so im really down at the minute and things are very strained at home but iv had a few days of cryin and hating the world lol but figure it could be worse and other people have worse at least i know i have it.

There is some cream you can get from chemist that numds it but i cant remember what its called i still have some of my instillgel so i use that when it gets too much hope your ok x

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that Hun!

Has he ever had a cold sore on his lips!? Cos it could be that you caught type 1 from him that way, even if he hasn't had one recently. Because I believe that's how I caught it from my first boyfriend because we always you'd condoms and only had sex 3 times and he always had cold sores. Although I guess it can still be caught from his area (pubes/balls). It's all confusing lol.

But seeing as you've been together so long you must trust each other and he's probably confused too. But my guess is he loves you and you'll be able to work through it if that's what you want. Stay strong, you know in your heart you've done nothing wrong and he'll see that hopefully

Yeah just have to look on the bright side that it could be so much worse.

Thanks for you're advice. Nice to know a stranger can care. Hope you're ok too x

He hasnt had a cold saw when iv been with him i find out bext week if its type 1 or 2 but they said that he could have caught if off one of his exs and gave it to me even if he hasnt had an outbreak but he missed that part lol im just glad my daughters ok that was my first thought but they said that if i had if before i had her i could have given her antibodies againt it because i hadnt had an outbreak at that time.

Time will tell i guess and who knows about the bf lol hes seems set on the fact i must have cheated

Let me know how it all turns out x

Oh men choose what they want to hear lol, sure he's just being defensive too. I hope it works out ok though, doesn't help your stress levels.

Glad to hear you're daughter wasn't affected and even better news if you passed on your antibodies to her cos herpes virus is becoming more and more common so will hopefully protect her in the future

Thank you I will, fingers crossed!
