[It’s not a big deal eventually]

After almost one and a half year (1year/7month) after my horrible first GH outbreak that extended for 13 straight months back to back my skin was destroyed completely but I have recovered now I don’t think it’s a big deal it’s not dangerous yes it’s itchy at the first 2 years but after it’s not easy to get outbreaks so I don’t see it’s a big deal if you dating and having fun why disclosing unless it’s a long term relationship just saying 

[I feel trapped]

Salut kassey i just want to tell it happens and every day there someone in your situation am a male 32 I hated the girl who gave it to me but after 1 year and a half we met again and had a good time my point is you have been fooled but live goes on leave him and soon you will find someone better than him and believe me herpes gives you something special when it goes dormant it will improve in time and you will feel better than before also you will set your standards higher this time feel better soon.

[My friends are horrible to me because I have h]

After a while you will realize herpes is not a big deal and your fake friends are just ignorant as most people who judge a person with a skin condition even though my life turned upside down because of this virus but life goes on again your friends are just ignorant.

Hello All

Thank you for all of your replies. I have been to support groups and have voiced my story there as well. I appreciate your views. 

I don't want to call her out in public but at the same time I have been through a lot of mental and physical pain. This has definitely affected my future for ltr and I feel betrayed abused and used up just because she got it from someone and felt like she will not be loved again. So she went back to normal dating and did not disclose because she wanted to have sex and infected me. I still tried to convince her that this is not right but apparently her friends thought this is the right thing to do and leave him. So the way it ended made me feel that I was just used as a puppet and the anxiety is way high. I can't do what she did and that means a long way to get a partner with more rejection being a guy it definitely sucks. 

And what bothered me more is that she was cold hearted, in-compassionate and ruthless. She said she will date other people and she was back there on the dating scene having fun as if nothing has happened. 

I honestly have a very hard time moving on as we live quite close. I just don't know how to tell her what damage she has done and I feel like she is having some mental issues that she does not understand the severity and stigma of this. 

This post expresses me 

[How do you move on from someone who knowingly transmitted GHSV1 to me and have no regret]

Sorry about that I guess you should expose her to her family and friends because she is rude and disrespectful and disgusting person check her Facebook and expose her you would feel better am going to do the same but am taking time so she (the girl woh intentionality lies to me and infected me) would forget me and am going to get revenge by exposing her because she was so bad and disrespectful as well.

[Dying to eat chocolate peanut butter]

You're still kind of new, like a year in or so, right? I think you'll find it gets better, but one thing you might want to seriously consider is therapy. It might really help with the mental aspects. 

I believe I contracted it in April at least I know who gave it to me,first OB around early August till today I changed my diet no gluten no garginin therapy am not sure about that i better wait and see so fat i get few blisters from waist down but on penis there are always peeling cracking blisters itching i always say something isn’t right i know my body I don’t get sick for this long just want to not feel my lower body anymore because this is destructing me and I don’t want to suffer from this for 2 years till i get back to normal,always have a sensitive skin used to suffer from acne my whole life now herpes wow this turned me to a different person when i accidentally meet an old friend they tell me you look like shit what’s up (^-^)

[For the men: how much of an obstacle has this been?]

The worst experience in my life totally devastating fiscally and mentally am suffering for almost 5 months now bad HSV strain messed me up let alone declosing to a potential future partner isn’t acceptable to me I don’t want to put her in this situation if only there is zero chance to transmit it then it would be easier but no medicine works 

[3 month HSV-2 genital outbreak?]

[Almost 4 months and no improvement even with antiviral confused (Male)]

Diagnosed by my doctor she examined my penis then said it’s nothing dangerous at all it’s just a virus and most people have it but am sure it’s herpes when I first started to feel up normal I hade an ED almost like my penis was shrinking then small pimple on tip of penis I popped it then another big soft round one on penis shaft then after few days full blown herpes OB then it went worse and worse I couldn’t go to the doctor because it was the weekend I barley slept was losing my mind then Monday August 6 i started my medication 3 month now still in pain.
