GH is not the end

Thank you so much for sharing this. I just found out I got hsv1 and test results show that it’s a recent infection like yours. The guy also bailed after he infected me. We also used condoms. I’ve been crying, feel like my life is over. The psychological battle is tough. I come from a very cultural family so I don’t feel comfortable sharing this with them, which makes it all the more isolating. I’m so scared about what dating will look like going forward. I want to fall in love, get married, and have children. Right now it seems impossible. I’m shattered. Feels like my life is over. I have the same victim mentality you did. I hope to one day get to where you are mentally.

Thank you so much. It’s truly been a difficult experience for me both physically and emotionally. This primary outbreak has been gruesome. It’s good to know that others have had their lives go on. I will read more posts in the forums and learn more about this virus.

I have GH and I’m devastated. I’ve been having symptoms for the last 10 days. It’s been excruciating. I went to urgent care and the doctor took one look at the lesions and said it’s definitely herpes. I also have Candida. My blood work for IGG came back negative. I’m waiting for the swab and igm results which I know what will say. I’m devastated to say the least. Been crying and having suicidal thoughts (even contacted the suicide crisis line). Genuinely feels like my life is over. I tried to be safe. I received oral once and I’m sure that’s how I got it because outside of that I always use protection. I worry about how GH will affect my dating life moving forward. I want to have children and get married and I’m scared that’s not a possibility anymore. I also want to enjoy sex (and oral) and I’m scared I never will (and can never have oral). It truly feels like my life is over. I just don’t know how to move forward. Looking for assurance and support.
