I also found out this week. Saw my OB on Monday and got my blood test results today. My outbreak is miserable. I'm negative for antibodies so I assume it got it from my bf, but we've been together for 2 years, so that raises some questions. It's a lot to process between "how did this happen?", "how do I manage the physical symptoms?", and "what do I do moving forward?!". Good luck with your talk. I suggest doing some research first because there is such a stigma with herpes and doing my own research has me to accept the Dx and realize that it's very common. Sharing those facts with your bf may help!
