A lovely woman who I have fallen in love with recommended we get tested before having sex. We both did. She was negative for everything, to my complete surprise I came back with antibodies for HSV 2 in my system. I've never had an outbreak. I had a pea size bubble in my mouth that burst and came back then burst again. I haven't had it since February. It was an annoyance but not a sore per say. It could be something else, I just don't know.
I've only kissed my girlfriend on the lips, pecks really. She went back to get tested again after I showed her the results of my test.
I found this site, the CDC, NIH, and used Google to find out more about this disease.
I read in this forum that it is pointless in trying to figure out who gave it to me. No one from my past has ever contacted me about it. I've had 3 girlfriends in the last 5 years. I'm a 66 year old man.
Adrial's videos are encouraging. I think it will take time for me to adjust to this life sentence. I'm meeting with a therapist on BetterHelp Monday.
I hope my girlfriend does not have it. Is French kissing ok with herpes 2? I watched the Dr Leone video and he said oral sex was ok. I'm taking the suppression drug Valocyclovir 500 mg
I hope and pray she doesn't have it. It seems unlikely from pecks. Also, I hope she decides to give us a try. I understand if she would not want to. I sent her the PDFs from HOpportunity. I don't know what she's thinking. Waiting for her result.
OMG, what a life!
