[HSV2 Transmission to Mouth via Oral Sex?]

I wonder too, nothing online is helpful. 

[Itching without visible Outbreak ?]

same, a little itch but no sore or scab or anything. but I try to take meds as soon as it happens. I wish it was cut and dry but its not

he stood me up and has not contacted me since Tuesday night. in my heart I want to think he has h too and that's why he does this. he is the reason I joined this site. it has been very helpful in coping. my head is telling me to never talk to him again and someday I will meet someone who will accept me for every little thing

he asked for a raincheck. he did this over the summer as well and that is why I joined this website. so glad I didn't tell him Sunday. secret is still safe

were you told before or after. I have a weird situation where one partner told after we had sex and it hurt so when he broke it off I got tested twice and negative. then 4 years later first outbreak new partner and he was ok with it so I assumed it was him that I got it from 

im gonna tell him in person. although the rejection would be easier via text he may be nice about it

ok so making plans for Tuesday and of course its been about sex. do I just get it over with or wait and tell him in person?? I am so confused. I like him and not sure how to go about this

[outbreak in new location]

anyone else experience an outbreak in a new location, I have had hsv 2 since nov 2015 but not officially diagnosed until jan 2017 I have only had maybe 7 ob counting this one. but its a new location and pain is worse than the others. is it normal? idk what is and just when I am ok with it. this happens

[WTF - is rash like sore in mouth herpes?]

I get mouth ulcers, random places. not sure if it is related or not. 

[Found out 2 days ago]

I'm sure he is fine, no stress makes it worse

[What happens if I don't show any symptoms?]

when I had my first ob I came back negative and was told not to tell anyone. I retested w/ a new partner with no symptoms and came back positive. test again and crossing fingers for you that its negative 

[H Buddies, unite!]

wouldn't mind a buddy to talk to in Las Vegas nv, 1.5 years since diagnosis but now it has set in that I have something ugh

[Saying I have a disease]

I would like to know as well. my situation sounds the same as yours. I recently tried to date and when sex came up and I said I can't he stopped texting 😞 I'm still upset over it. I had confidence and bam worse than before 😞 

[Need Some Advice]

pain pills help. my dr did prescribe them and half is all I need day one then the anti virals do the job 

[How to let go of anger?]

same here, the guy who I am pretty sure I got it from denied it. I tested. negative even after my first ob which was horrible. official diagnose 1/2017 and was fine until about a month ago. I met a guy and wanted to date. then sex came up. I said I can't (I was on my period) and he totally blew me off. I am still upset but the anger and random tears have stopped its been 3 weeks 

[Success stories for women over 40??? Need to hear the realities please...]

I was diagnosed in jan of 2017 when my then boyfriend asked for testing (he didn't test for hsv) I was 41 at the time. we only lasted a few months. I went over a year without even wanting to date and then I did reach out and try with someone I met last year. I thought he was perfect and we made plans for my bday to meet up. well thanks to my period I let him know that we would not be having sex. he then blew me off and ghosted which sent me into a what the hell is wrong with me week and subsiquent OB, which I have not had since January of this year. 

it has to get better right?? this sight has been so supportive and I have read some great success stories. I just hope for all of us that its not the end of the world because I certainly feel like it is 😞

[New to the forum]

yes similar, medication helps.  hugs

[Feeling so low]

I never had to take it unless I had an outbreak. I wonder if there are different strains? I was formally diagnosed in 2017 but my first symptom was in 2015. I tested negative but due to a new relationship I retested and it was positive. its been a rough year and a half for sure. still don't know how to cope. but finding this forum has helped

[You are worthy!]

thank you for posting, its been 8 months since I had an outbreak so I almost forgot I had it. major heartbreak made it happen and I then found this group for support 🙂
