  1. Hey, My name is Emma (she/her). I am experiencing my first outbreak right now. I would love someone to talk to (preferably female). I am 18 and I’m in college. I honestly just need someone to talk to it doesn’t matter if they are close or far! I have been trying to stay strong and honestly this site has kept me from bawling my eyes out multiple times. I am pretty positive I have HSV because I had a cold sore, flu like symptoms, cluster of bumps on genitals, itchiness, etc. I don’t know what type I have yet but I will figure it out soon enough. I’m a social work major (I want to be a counselor and help people!) and I am very kind and open hearted! I can definitely bring positivity to our H friendship but I’m new so I don’t have much advice. I don’t even care if you have a lot of experience I just kind of need a friend who understands right now:)
  2. Hey, So I am having my first outbreak right now I’m on about day 5. It started as 2 random bumps in different places- on top of my clit area and above that right in the middle literally where the pants lining is (so annoying)! I was in denial because when I looked up HSV it was clusters of smaller ones (these were small wart size). However, after a few days a cluster appeared on the upper one. I still have not been diagnosed because research said I should wait to do testing? I’m also a broke college student, which would mean I would have to tell my mother so she could pay for it and set up the appointment😖. I am pretty positive I have HSV because the symptoms before the first outbreak say flu like symptoms- I had to stay out of school for a week because I was sick with “the flu”. It also said itching and clusters of fluid filled bumps, and that’s exactly what happened. I am so scared to get the diagnosis because I’m almost positive I have it. I want to hope is GHSV1 because of the less frequent outbreaks but I’m trying not to get my hopes up. I honestly don’t know what I’m looking for here. I am just a scared 18 year old, I guess looking for advice? Are flu symptoms more common with a certain type of GHSV? Do I wait to get a diagnosis or should I grow some balls and tell my mother? How do I tell my boyfriend? I also got a cold sore before I got it on my genitals and I masterbate and sometimes use my saliva. Can you give yourself GHSV1 from using saliva with a cold sore? please help, anyone! - also I am so glad I found this community it has relieved so much stress and nerves!
  3. Hey, I just had my first outbreak and I have been dating the same guy for a year. Neither of us cheated on each other but we did go on a break in June where both of us slept with other people (it’s October now). I have no clue how long I’ve had it because I’m young and dumb and I didn’t think to use condoms because I have an IUD and was only worried about getting pregnant. Well now that me and my boyfriend are back together, I just had my first outbreak. I have no clue how to tell him! I have never experienced an outbreak before this. So it could have been dormant for over a year or it could have been from when we were on our break 4 months ago or so. It was great timing that we just had an argument today about our break and sleeping with other people! I am scared he is going to hate me forever once I tell him. I know after doing research herpes isn’t that big of a deal but it definitely sounds scary. Not to mention one of his biggest fears is getting a STD. I am terrified to tell him! I read the Ebook about “the talk” and I practiced it, but we just had an argument today about the break. I need help on how to tell him. Also what’s the chance he was infected before my first outbreak? I know the statistics of the transmission rates normally between outbreaks but I don’t know if they’re less transferable before your first outbreak. Someone please help me! I am so scared.
