Hi, I'm new here and just wanted to share my story and ask for suggestions on my current situation. Here it goes.
6 years ago I noticed a small patch of blisters in my genital/pubic area. I went to the doctor and he diagnosed me with folliculitis, said it was an infection of the hair follicle that happens when you shave or wax. He gave me some cream and and so I used it. when the blisters began to turn to sores I started to get afraid went on Google and began to suspect I had herpes. I scheduled an appointment with a different doctor who gave me a blood test and determined I was hsv1 positive. She said I most likely contracted it from oral sex.
I took to you tube/internet and came across the food grade hydrogen peroxide remedy. I did it, finished the 30 days and never got an outbreak again. I assumed it worked and was extremely happy. Until, just last week (six years later) I noticed an outbreak. With the first outbreak I didnt have any other symptoms but this time I had a cold, sore muscles and fever. I've been in a relationship for 3years and it's perfect, however this entire time we've been having unprotected sex and I'm afraid he may have contracted it even though I havent had a breakout the entire time we've been together. Idk what to do, I know that disclosing this information is going to completely complicate our relationship I am scared to tell him. I know telling him is the right thing to do but I must admit I sometimes think of not telling him. I feel guilty about it. I know that would be selfish of me. What should I do? Help! How can 8 break it to him?
