I THINK I was infected by someone who knew, or at least thought it was a possibility but didn't get tested.
I decided early on not to play the blame game because it leads to absolutely nowhere. I didn't want to feel anger or resentment, I just wanted to accept my new situation.
Though I am philosophical about it, I would NEVER go down the non-disclosure road. In my opinion it's tantamount to assault to knowingly put someone's health at risk.

The peanut butter would be a tough one for me too

I figure if I don't eat any other high level A foods I can get away with a protein bar a day at any rate. I'm thinking of this as driving, I'm doing so defensively BEFORE I have learn the hard way.
Fair enough, OBs are not exactly fun lol!

i have no idea if it triggers anything for me. I'm in my first outbreak. I've only had H for a week and half lol
I'm just taking preventive measures early and making them a life style change
Oh gotcha.
Yeah, protein supplements usually have very high concentrations of arginine because it's an essential Amino.
-
They are all high in arginine. The l-lysine should help counter it though.
Does arginine definitely trigger for you? I have a diet high in arginine but it's not a trigger for me so don't see any point in changing.

Oh that is just no good!
You are you 💯
Have you ever had chicken pox? Or mono? If you met someone who had chicken pox or mono, would you think of them differently? Because herpes is the same thing. A virus, from the same family even.
You are not herpes, you are you. You feel a bit shite right now, but you can't let an illness define you.
I hope you feel better soon xx

Yes, first OB was mild, internal. Second OB, external, different location, v uncomfy.

I use Lexapro, never been a problem. Chocolate was my downfall 😭

Yay! Good man 🙂

He needs to get tested because he in all likelihood gave it to you. It doesn’t matter if he’s never had a symptom — lots of people don’t. There is no reason to end a marriage over something as tiny as hsv-1, which 65% of people have. Don’t accept his disgust. Praying for you.
Exactly, it's so incidental! And it's not disgusting, it's just a skin condition!

Sorry to hear of your situation.
I have had my first OB this month since I contracted 11 years ago. It was only pure chance that I got diagnosed and for ages I was annoyed that I had been diagnosed but had no symptoms so thought I could've happily gone on being oblivious like so many.
I said to my hubby "isn't it good that I was diagnosed because you might be suspicious when I suddenly have an OB 10 years in to our marriage?" He disagreed and said that he trusted me. He has been learnt a lot about herpes from me including that his cold sores are also herpes!
Make him go to the doctor with you so you learn about it together.

Hey baby, what do Jessica Alba, Paris Hilton, Derek Jeter & I have in common?...
-
Could be bacterial vaginosis
-
It's possible just 1 outbreak? I'm on week 3 of an OB and the symptoms change from day to day. It's type 1 and my initial OB was nothing. This OB is severe!
We're all different and don't necessarily have text book occurrences.
-
Dump him so he can find someone who cares about his welfare and right to choose.

That's cool. I'm all for many chances lol. I wouldn't be married for 11 years if I didn't! 😉
-
If you don't trust him, why would you want to meet him lol? But, as we all know, there's often no way of knowing who we got it from, so no point in pointing the finger and being bitter about it. Besides if we cut-off the ones that infected us, aren't we stigmatising them for having herpes? (Unless they tricked us and then they can jog on!)
-
Wow, it really is a good way to weed out the losers! What a tosser!
Good on you, great way to deal with this outcome.

Hi there, female, 34, diagnosed 11 years ago, NZ.
I have zero shame or embarrassment about my little skin infection, so if you need a pep talk, I'm your gal.

Just to also qualify my statement earlier:
-You can still catch the other strain
-You can have an OB on multiple sites, that usually happens at the time of contracting the disease (you have contracted at multiple sites), rather than a secondary infection at another site
-
You can't catch the same disease twice. A lot of people are confused about that. I have HSV1 downtown. My hubby has HSV1 uptown. We can't give it to each other in the other parts of the body because our bodies have created antibodies.

Hey beautiful people. I've had H for at least 11 years. I found out when I got a pap smear result (I had wondered why my GP went quiet when she put the wotsit up my hoo-ha, she secretly swabbed something and it came back positive!) Anyway, I'm in the third week of my second ever OB (since the initial one that the naughty GP spotted)-so lucky to not have suffered for all these years! Anyway, it's relentlessly itchy. My booty is on fire. I want to scoot like a pup with worms! Can anyone suggest anything for this problem before someone catches me going full cow rubbing my sweet butt on a fence post?

Do not lower your standards!
In my opinion, having herpes is a great barometer for relationship potential. If they reject you off the bat they were only interested in one thing. I've disclosed to 3 men-the one I was with at the time of diagnosis, the one I'm with now, and another that I was trying to put off (obviously that went nowhere!) and it had zero effect on their desire to be with me.
If I was in the dating scene, I would probably wait until after the first date. If I'm still interested to see them again I'd put it out there, if they rejected me, no loss, it was only one date.
