Disappointedlady

So I’ve done some soul searching in the last week. I was upset and angry and then I thought…you know what? If I let it get me down and depressed then he wins and I’m not going to let that happen. I’m still the same person just more aware of my body and condition and most people don’t want to know and that’s how it gets around. Ignorance is bliss! I can understand that but I’m also not that kind of person. I’m going to be positive about the situation. I’ve decided to be happy and move on…less stress is better.

Thank you for the reply! I’m trying to navigate through the trauma as well as the diagnosis. My immune system is great so far and I’m hoping this continues. Most antibody tests don’t show up as quick as mine did. I know it wasn’t my fault but the other part of me wishes I had been somewhere else that day.

Hello all! I am newly diagnosed with GHSV1 due to a date rape situation. This happened about a month ago and I’m still dealing with the repercussions of it all. He had just totally destroyed my lady parts. I had a full STD workup which was negative except for HSV 1 and my antibody igG was >62 so with the medical knowledge I have (I am medically educated) I was never exposed to it previously but my body is doing what is supposed to do. I asked for suppressive therapy to be proactive. I’m still very upset but trying to take it for what’s it’s worth. I’m 49 and I’ve never been promiscuous and have had 4 partners in my life. I’m just scared to date again but feel like I’m going to have to find someone is is also positive to feel comfortable.
