Worried and scared

went and got one today

I was being treated for bv and I'm starting to worry that maybe the bacteria could have got in there, urgent care hasn't called me which I'm taking as a good thing because they said if i was positive they would give me a call, might have to give them a call and go get it looked at again.

To be honest, even if it is Herpes you clearly get quite a mild version of it so take comfort in that. I have a really bad health anxiety and even though i am not convinced/diagnosed as having it I have researched the life out of it and it seems it is completely blown out of proportion. If i do have it, then I have never actually had a full on outbreak and never get any more than 1 sore and for that i'm grateful as it is definitely managable

that's how i am i do a lot if research on everything. when i went to urgent care and to the hospital that i have anxiety and i've never had anything like this so it made me kinda nervous. it did have some thick yellow puss come from it yesterday, thinking about having it looked at again.

Yeah get them to take a look and swab the puss and then you will know either way. There really is every chance it is Herpes if you are having yellow puss come out and they are ulcerating. Do you have any other sores? Listen even if it is Herpes you are going to be ok. It is by no means the end of the world.

i haven't had anymore it just looks like an open cut like the updated photo. i don't know if its because i put hydrogen peroxide on it. I'm teally praying that i really only cut myself i dont think im strong enough to handle anything else. and i dont have any other sores. i feel like it was herpes i would have cold sore because i have given oral but ive never had anything around mouth.

HSV2 prefers the genitals so if someone has that and you give them oral its unlikely to infect your mouth but will infect you genitals if you have contact. Soo that theory is oit the window i'm afraid. It's definitely not a cut hun, that's for certain. No cut looks like this. Its ulcers of some sort and will either be down to Herpes or something bacterial

Herpes really isn't a huge issue. Try prepare yourself for it being that just in case but even if it is you may not get many outbreaks and when you do they may be very mild

will be keeping an eye on it and calling tomorrow for my results.

Please let us know how you get on hun. This is a great place for advice and it's always handy for others to hear about results should they experience anything similar. Best of luck.

thank you, same too you.

i will be back with any updates about results or anymore testing or anything i have done about this.

I got my results back today and unfortunately it is hsv-2 I'm literally so devastated. like why me. the guy i have been with since march is going out of town for the next few days and I'm trying to find a way to tell him because we have unprotected sex all the time, i haven been sleeping with anyone but him. urgent care wants me to get some blood done to determine if this is a new infection or if I've had it but have never known. I'm just really hurt and don't know what to do other then cry. i really do love him and don't wanna lose him but i feel like he's gonna leave me after this. also going to try and see a Therapist to see if that might help with some of my other mental health issues, because i don't know if i can deal with this alone.

aw hun please don't stress too much. it really is very common. more common than you'd think. take a deep breath. there is really no way to avoid it other than to never have sex as so many people have it and don't know. the stigma it carries is what makes it worse but it is nothing more than a skin condition. he may well have been the person you caught it from and he doesnt know he has it

yeah i talked to my dad about it and i told him there is no way i know will ever know could have been him or a previous partner. its just gonna be really hard for me to tell him. i really do love him and would be even more hurt if he left me.

break it to him gently and assure him of all the things iv said. he may well have it so leaving you doesnt mean he is free of it. its just one of those things. its made out to be so dirty but its really not. i even hear people making nasty remarks about coldsores which iv never understood. just remember this, everyone who has ever had a coldsore has the herpes virus. you can have herpes on any part of your body. i know a girl who gets it on her nose. she says she would much rather have genital herpes because at least no one else would be able to see them. give it a few days and you will feel better about things 🙂 xx

honey little do you know that you and I are in the same boat. In the beginning of this month I had weird breakouts in my vaginal area, something ive never had before. I finally was able to get tested friday. The clinic called me today with a positive for hsv2. My blood was tested so that means I've had it all along and just didnt know! Mentally I've been going back in forth of shock and owning it. I havent told anyone. Its just alot to take in right now. Im just here to say honey, that you are not alone! This isnt the end and we're going to be okay! Our life isnt over. Just look at it as a skin disease thats going to come and go. This helps me cope with it

thank you so much.

thank you, its just just so hard to take in rn because i was really praying it was just a cut the whole time.

i am gonna go have my blood tested tho just waiting on my obgyn office to call me
