I totally agree but if it’s all about the fact that this possibly great human being has herpes and that the deciding factor I think it’s crazy to think that u won’t run into another person with the same conditions. I just feel that it shouldn’t be ultimately the deciding factor if someone is great person as it’s hard to even find that these days.

It’s my understanding to that the blood test can be inaccurate too. That’s what I have read before in the past. What’s your take in that??

I would totally now that I know what I’m dealing with and we could take the appropriate steps to keep me from getting it. My chances are actually better doing it that way verses relying on someone to be honest with me and finding out they weren’t. It takes a lot of ppl with this virus to be honest.. if most ppl would have been honest from the get go we all would probably not be in the situation we are.

Have you been tested yourself? A lot of ppl have this virus and don’t even know they have it. I would consider that, also unfortunately a lot ppl aren’t honest about having the virus which is why the majority of us are here, we didn’t get the option. Your chances of meeting someone again and having sex with them orally or intercourses your risk lie there as well. The more partners u have risk gets higher. You actually have a chance to take the precautions so u won’t become infected verses taking your chances on someone that might not be honest next time. Your call but really think about the big picture.. the risk still will be there with or without her with a potential next partner. Just saying.. good luck, be good to her and let her go easy this is already tough on some many of us and rejection is the worse.

I’m from the States.. I have Ghsv1 it’s been pretty manageable so far, I took myself off the medication because the side effects are horrible. Yes it sucks that my giver did the same and has no conscious for what he did sadly evil ppl exist.

I know what you mean, I have Ghsv1 and I figured that there would be more ppl with my same condition as there is more higher rate of Ghsv1 then Hsv2.. but there wasn’t harderly at all. Plus half the ppl on there don’t know what type they have, I find disturbing. Maybe they know and they are scared to say too. But by the time u get my age 90% of ppl that is 50 or older have contracted it. I was so dumb when it came to understanding herpes before I contracted it, I had no idea.

It’s my understanding it’s the other way around Hsv1 is actually oral herpes but I got it gentially. It’s my understanding that 80% of the population has it verses .Hsv2 which normally your genial herpes.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone ever used herpes dating sites. Also if u have I noticed that Hsv1 .. there is not many singles listed with this and I was wondering if it’s because it’s so common. Does anyone else with Hsv1 notice this or Hsv2 because it seems like there are more of Hsv2 in there then anything, just wonder if anyone else noticed. Thanks for your time, looking for to any feedback.

This stuff so confusing, one site says one thing and another said another. Thanks

I read on the internet that once you get your primary infection that the virus can’t travel to different locations of your body.. Is this true?? Some one told that they had theirs travel after get Ohsv1 they contracted Ghsv1.. can this happen??

So sorry that u had to go through this!! Herpes suck!!😡

Yes I still struggle with nerve pain on and off.. it sucks.

I read that after 50 that 90 percent of that age population has hsv1. I’m 45 an contracted ghsv1 almost 4 months ago from a partner that did the same to me.. I have struggled hating myself for believing that he would be honest then did this and now I’m left trying to figure out how to move on with this. I feel the same, dating seems so scary anymore, definitely don’t want to get anything else this was hardest thing I ever had to deal with and mostly alone.

Nope mine was done on my cervix so I could see what it look like.

Sounds like my ex he gave it to me after getting me back from dumping me previously. I was still in love with him in hopes he really truly wanted a relationship.. never told be in contracted herpes.. we had sex I got it 6 weeks later dumps me again went back to his ex who gave him it and know they are married.. smh. On top of dealing with getting Herpes my emotional well being took a tremendous toll and wish I would of never gave him a chance to know to deal with this alone wondering if I will ever find someone now .

I agree dating was extremely hard for me before and now this.. makes it so hard not want to hide from the dating scene but all long to meet that special person. I’m sorry u are going through.

I got a bacterial infection after I got diagnosed. I hear that it happens to a lot of woman after getting it. I was on suppressive therapy for 3 months I just stopped taking mine. I have Ghsv1 which is supposed to be milder one. Most ppl that have OHsv1 don’t even take medication most of the time and that’s where it’s supposed to be. Anyhow.. I’m on supplements currently.. which seems to be doing good. I have limited myself on drinking alcohol as it supposed to cause outbreaks. I’m looking into ozone therapy which helps keep your body immune system healthy to fight this thing. I had to wait 4 weeks before I had sex.. to make sure it was healed and even then I probably should of wait another 2 weeks. I don’t have issues with oral.. so I’m unsure about that. In my opinion all suppressive therapy takes a huge toll on your body.

I got gential to gential hsv1 my ex had a small sore that wasn’t healed and he never told me he had hsv1 gential and I got it that way.

I understand I’m struggling too! I feel like I’m destined to be alone as well. I hate it but all I can do is hope and pray that God has a better plan for me. Sending big Hugs and you are worth way more then that.. yes u have Herpes but that don’t make any worthy. Unfortunately bad things happen to good ppl and u will get through this. Just know most of us on here understand everything and we are struggling too! U have ppl that are here for u, message me anytime I’m here if u need to talk.

It seems to be something different to me. If he slept with you and wasn’t worried about it before then all of sudden he changed his mind makes me think something else is going on. I know it’s hard and I feel your pain but u don’t need someone that is going to do that to you. He hasn’t real from the beginning if he was he wouldn’t of slept with you. I’m sorry your going through this but I deserve something better then that. Just saying.. keep chin up!

I have started oil of oregano supplements I got that feel like they help a lot.. I also started colloidal silver that seems to be helping as well.. trying to clean the gut out with some probiotic therapy as that’s supposed to help as well. I also take crap load of other supplements like most everyone else. Looking into ozone therapy as well.

I understand you gotta do what works for you. Just give yourself and that person the respect is all if u decided to be intimate with them. I hate the fact that I was given a choice my ex gave it to me knowing that he had an then when I found out he didn’t act surprised as I was crying my eyes out to him.. I thought I was going to have someone there to help me through this but then dumps me 3 weeks later .. he wouldn’t go get tested and just said he wa sorry. Good luck to you! I understand being scared I haven’t had to tell potential partner yet.

Awesome !! Gives me inspiration on when I need to disclose, love the way u handled this and you are absolutely right u gave him the choice to move things forward and how nice it is that he was willing to get tested and not give up on something that could be wonderful. I understand u have to kept your heart in check but what positive feedback. Good luck to you!!

I agree with @Amando the antivirals are horrible on your body. I decided to come off them too. I think not just the side effects of hair loss but other side effects. Your body needs to be boosted by its immune system to help keep the outbreaks off and your diet as well is huge. Hope u find your answers @Stupida

I understand your scared, I think most of us are scared. But u gotta remember that 2 out 3 ppl have hsv1 which is the same virus orally or gentially so it’s very common. What’s not common is ppl don’t talk about it so that’s what this crap still keeps getting passed around. To many ppl are scared to talk about it.. so what u need to know is the facts about it and then explain it from there. Going in knowing what this virus is and explaining it to someone is important so doing your research will help u better equipped to discuss this as I heard most ppl have questions so u needs to be able help them understand which helps get rid of stigma. Also explain what u are u doing personally to take care of yourself.. it your on antivirals, supplements are u getting special treatments.. ppl are just scared because they aren’t informed about this horrible virus.. just be the voice u wanted someone to be for you when u weren’t given the option or knowledge is all. Good luck!! Wish the best.
