Thanks! I definitely will!

Thanks WCSDancer2010! It is so nice to get someone's perspective on all of this. I never thought about how he may feel undesirable too! And I agree, we do need to change the current system for STD testing. I had no idea I had to ask to be tested for H at my annual visit to my obgyn. I thought when she asked if I wanted standard STD testing, H was included.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. And what a positive way to look at it....having it bring us closer... And it really is only me feeling that I am undesirable. He has asked me several times when I would feel comfortable to have sex again. And he tells me every day that I am beautiful. In fact, since we were diagnosed, he has made more of an effort to be loving and caring. I guess because it was my first OB, I am just a little worried it will happen again. I will definitely read the e-book Adrial! It may be the little push I need :)

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with HSV2 (and according to the blood work, recently contracted it). It came as such a shock to me, as I have been married for a year now (been with my husband for 3 years total) and thought I would never have to worry about STDs. My husband has never had an outbreak, and so he didn't even know he had it. Is there anyone else out there with a similar situation? Anyone else dealing with herpes that was transmitted from their current partner? Although we don't have the perfect marriage, things have been pretty wonderful. I am still healing from the initital outbreak, and so we haven't been intimate since the diagnosis. How do you take that first step back into the bedroom? How do you feel sexy again? And most importantly, how do you take this negative thing and make it positive for your marriage?

Hi, I am a 30 year old female in the Louisville, KY area that was diagnosed with herpes last week. I am married with a step daughter and would love to find someone out there in the same situation as me. Please message me if interested. Could definitely use some support right now.
