[Still with the person who gave it to me and need advice]

I'm in the same dilemma as well. I've been with the same guy for 3 years but I feel like I am falling out of love. I think it's the fear of rejection keeping the relationship alive which is super unhealthy. I am so scared for the future. I want to get married and have kids. I have a lot of doubt with my boyfriend.

So glad to hear this! Thank you!

[Just got diagnosed with GHSV1]

Hello there,

I just got diagnosed with ghsv type 1 today. I am having a really hard time dealing with this. I've been with my boyfriend for three years. Both of us have been 100% faithful in the relationship. It just doesn't make sense why I got diagnosed with this.

Here's how it all started: I was starting to have a really bad hemorrhoids. I bought OTC preparation H. It was not getting any better. I went to the doctor to get something stronger. She saw 3 small papules on the perineum and she swabbed it for hsv. I wasn't even in any pain. I thought it was just a little irritation from the  OTC cream.  She didn't think it was hsv but she wanted to double check. She thought it was contact dermatitis. It came back positive for type 1 hsv. I've had bad yeast infections, UTIs, and hemorrhoids in the past. I've gotten tested for all STDs on the panel but everything came back negative.

Could I have been misdiagnosed for yeast infections/UTIs/hemorrhoids and it was herpes this whole time? I am going to tell my boyfriend to get tested for hsv1 just be sure he doesn't have it. What are the transmission rates for ghsv 1? I don't want to get him infected if he comes back negative. If I take Valtrex daily and use condoms, what are the transmission rates? Thank you so much!
