For various months now, I have a sort of itch and tingling sensation, and blisters and red colored from time to time. Wasn’t sure what it was but continued normally. A few months after my concern grew I thought about going to the doctor but didn’t. At last I went to the doctor today and she told me it could be herpes so I’m going to the labs tomorrow. I remember that my ex-wife at one certain time told me she had herpes, and truly I forgot to tell my current girlfriend. The reason being I didn’t look for information and got tested at that moment in time and was negative. Its been 10 years or maybe more. My girlfriend and I have been together for 4 years and now I’m thinking about telling her what is happening and I’m afraid of her reaction, how this will affect us and our sex life. She will also question me why I did not do something earlier and why I did not tell her. I feel so anxious and nervous and thinking about how angry my girlfriend will be. I don’t have a dx yet but I believe I need to tell her but I am afraid. We have had a lot of ups and downs, and recently a lot of downs. I feel this will affect our relationship. If I am diagnosed with herpes and my girlfriend gets tested and has herpes also, I think she will never forgive me. Any suggestions?
