  1. I’m having the same issue. Although I recently went for a pap and another full check up and came back positive for bacterial vaginosis. So I treated that, and then the yeast infection I got from the antibiotics, and the bad outbreak I got from all the stress and meds, and have been symptom free since! (Knock on wood) ... I also went for accupuncture specifically for ghsv and am continuing with that as it really seemed to help. But I’m really struggling with trying to figure out if the infection was new (likely) from a new partner I had, or like I said before, trying to decide if every yeast infection or itch or ingrown hair I ever had was in fact herpes. From my diagnosis May 9 until a week ago I felt like I had constant prodomes/itching/symptoms but my doctor thinks it was from the BV. Hopefully I can enjoy a few weeks clear from obs here and there
  2. I’m 33. And I still don’t know what to do. Him and I have been keeping in touch, but I think a lot of things that caused us to break up in the first place (like emotional immaturity etc) are still there. But I also trust that he would accept me even with my diagnosis. And I do love him. I just don’t want to spend another five years waiting for him to be ready to take the relationship further. I also don’t want to lead him on or expose him to the virus if I don’t think we have a future together. And I’m still coming to terms with my own diagnosis so I just don’t want to rush any decisions.
  3. I broke up with my ex of over 5 years in late January. Started seeing someone casually but it ended up getting quite serious and this person ended up giving me HSV2 (after lying to me that we were monogamous and persuading me not to use condoms) - big life lesson for me... I saw my ex, whom I have a lot of history with, shortly before being diagnosed and told him I hadn’t been seeing anyone since we broke up (I don’t know why I lied, I just did). After being diagnosed I kind of fell off the map but he’s continued to pursue me and keep in touch. I just don’t know how to go back to him and disclose this new “friend” I’m bringing with me into the relationship. Or if I really want to be with him, or if I just feel like more comfortable trying to work things out with him vs meeting someone new. So I can understand how you feel
  4. I can’t figure out if I’m newly “infected” or if every yeast infection I thought I was having over the years was actually an outbreak. As soon as I was officially diagnosed I went on suppressive treatment and to be honest it doesn’t seem to have helped much. I still seem to be getting monthly outbreaks right before my period. Shaving seems to be a trigger for me. But waxing seems to be fine. When I shave I get a little feeling like a paper cut right at the top of my labia. As for masturbating I’m still on the fence as to whether or not my vibrator may cause me to get outbreaks. So I’m not sure. It just seems like it never ends to be honest.
  5. I was recently diagnosed in May (after 3 months of what I thought was a recurring yeast infection), and have been vegan since January. It’s left me questioning everything - like have I had this for years and only started showing symptoms in March because I went vegan? Or (more likely but impossible to confirm) did I get it from my “rebound” partner who pressured me into not using condoms (my own fault still) and now still refuses to get tested? I seem to get monthly outbreaks no matter what I eat, and no matter what anti-virals and supplements I take. And the worst part is my ex of 5 years wants to try and work things out. And I can’t find a way to tell him...
