It hurts, but bearable for now. I'm scared! It looks like a tiny cut that has scabbed up. I thought the scab came last? I just felt this pain today though. Uuuughhh. I hope this doesn't affect my exercising plans. :(

Ay, Herry. I'm sorry man. I wore my shades all day so couples wouldn't see me glaring at them. The boy cheated, left to Afghanistan, and I just felt my first sore in the (not so) love below. I spent valentines day at the gyno getting looked at and getting a pregnancy test. Cupid hates me too. Anyway, I'm sending a ton of hugs from NYC!! You seem like such a great (and super funny) guy, and I'm sorry someone would react that way. She showed her ass with that reaction...how rude. Smh. You deserve way better, and you will find it.

I hope it's not Hsv-2 but at this point I think it is. Just because my lip feels so funny. I haven't gotten a lesion on my lip ever and the doctor said I wasn't Hsv-1 positive. I think I just felt my first Hsv-2 sore (down there) though. It feels like a cut and its risen a little bit. It's scabbed up though, not large and not very red. Sound about right?

Thanks Lelani! I have definitely been glued to a mirror the past few days. Every tingle I think it's a cold sore or an outbreak down there. I haven't gotten outbreaks yet so I'm just stressed waiting for something to happen. So I definitely have to de-stress. I have a question though, can you have very small bumps that never turn into lesions? I feel like I've had Hsv-2 on my lips but never get to the lesion state. I put abreva on one yesterday and it seemed to calm down. Idk if it was an almost cold sore or just a pimple that abreva helped.

Thank you for making a forum like this. I've learned so much already. I got this because I didn't take care of myself or love myself enough, and I guess now I really have to. Funny how life works. Lol Question! Does this make it easier for me to pass on during oral sex/kissing?

Sigh. Okay, Herry. I'll try and take your word for it. I should just let whatever is supposed to happen happen. The little bump on my lip is kind of tender and more noticeable. I prob shouldn't have, but I bought abreva and swiped some on there. I really hope I don't have to deal with this in two areas, cause I'm already depressed as is. Bah humbug. Lol

Hi guys, happy v-day. I'm a day late, but oh well. First, I wanted to say that I appreciate this forum so much. It does help me calm down sometimes when I'm freaking out. Thank you for all the kind and encouraging words. Also, I went to the obgyn yesterday and I think I knew more about it than she did. Smh. She said my bumps were ingrown hairs...hmph. Anyway, so it seems that my itching and tingling in the buttocks and all around have slowed down again. But! I'm getting a little funny feeling in my lip. The reason I went to doctor in the first place was bc I thought I had a cold sore. But it never came. So what gives? That little spot on my lip chilled, now it's the other side of my lip. Kind of feels like the smallest tiniest pimple in the world? Could it be that I have Hsv-2 in both places? I've never broke out before so idk where it's supposed to come from. :-/ help! I just got a pimple on my nose too. I think the stress is killing me.

Oh and my sore throat went away overnight. lol

Ohh...I'm so upset I might not be able to get to the doctor bc of these crazy snow storms. I guess bc I just got it I keep having the prodrome symptoms all the time. So I should give it another half year before it chills out a bit? But yes, I will try to not stress so much (it's hard though bc I've had depression and anxiety for years now. This literally shot both of them up). Thank you guys for everything. You've helped more than my doctor. Hmph! Lol

Kudos to you Joan for dating and living your life to the max. Hope to be like you when I'm older. And chuck, I feel your pain. Had sex for the first time with my first bf and here I am. He also cheated on me a couple months ago. -_____- I think we have to learn how to forgive, not totally sure how yet but that will help us tremendously. Right now I hate my bf for not being able to talk to me and console me bc he's in Afghanistan. I hate him for giving this to me. I hate my life right now. But hate is a futile and dangerous emotion, along with regret. So I have to really remember that, even though it's so hard. (Sorry for the rant)

@thisisgoingtobeokay

I feel the same way! At this point I take every little strange feeling and connect it to Hsv-2. And from the time I felt weird to now, almost 2 months. In guess I've never had a full on outbreak, but I've had these tingling, itchy, pains for almost the whole time I've thought something was wrong. I'm trying to chill out so I don't stress myself into an outbreak. But I'm not even sure what counts as one. UGH. I'm so tired of everything.

Oh okay. That helps! I jut feel like I'm waiting for it to get worse all the time. Are there people who have this and never have outbreaks? Just a lot of symptoms? Shouldn't the symptoms go away after awhile too?

I've been having oral prodome symptoms and genital symptoms too. The genital ones for a few days, actually about a week. And the sore throat one day. Last time (the first time) I had the tingling and stuff for like 2 weeks. But I never got blisters. So I'm confused.

Can you get it orally and genitally at the same time? And does that mean I can pass it orally a lot easier? If I have these symptoms will it mean one day I'll have an outbreak? According to my symptoms this is my second shedding since I got it. So Idk if this means I'll one day have lesions or if I'll always deal with symptoms every month. It feels like I've had these symptoms for 2 1/2 weeks then one and a half weeks a uti according to a doctor, now I'm back at the itching and weird pain.

Yeah. Smh. I got a sore throat today on top of the regular tingling, itching, burning. Is that a normal symptom? Also I've been googling and reading a lot and apparently these are prodomal (spelling? Lol) signs. Does that mean that I will get worse soon?!

Ugh. It really bothered me how I got the news--a letter, starting with we are pleased to inform you you are negative for the oral type, however you're positive for the genital one. I was like wait, what?? But yeah, I suppose this isn't serious to them. :( Also, the affair was recent and he hadn't been tested in about a year and a half. So it could've been now or way before. I have a feeling it's been awhile since he's had way more partners than me.

Thank you! And OMG yes, the regular doc was so nonchalant about the whole thing. He didn't even want to test me the first time. I finally went back and asked him for the specific tests and there it was. Smh. Bf said he was tested but now that I think about it he prob was never tested for this. I'm going this week. Thank you!

And hi WCS ! Thank you for the kind words. Both of you actually. I'm really upset about everything but I'm gonna try. It just don't really see the bright side of things anymore.

Sigh. Thank you Herry. We were still trying to figure that part of relationship and now this came up so it's become increasingly difficult. But I'm going to try and take it one day at a time. That's super hard for me but I'll try. But, in the mean time I'm gonna go to the doctor and try to figure out all the other details about this. I can't wait until I no longer feel ashamed and stupid. I knew I didn't love myself like I should've before, but now it's pretty much non-existent. Smh

Hey guys. I'm here because I just found out yesterday I have HSV-2. I figured nothing was wrong because I received no call, but then I got a letter saying I was negative for one, but positive for the other. I am devastated. I have only had one partner my whole life and have only been sexually active for a few months. I also found out about a 1 1/2 months ago that my bf cheated on me. I'm going through a million thoughts and emotions right now. How am I to know that he didn't get it from this one night stand? How do I move on from all of this? Not to mention he's thousands of miles away serving for the country, so he can't help me. Every strange burning sensation I get I think I'm about to have an outbreak. The only symptoms I've had were that my bum hurt, and difficulty urinating, constipation, some burning, and aches kind of like cramps. No lesions. Am I supposed to have an outbreak? He's never had one before so he is just as shocked as I am. Anyway, what am I supposed to do now? Feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness are running rampant. Smh. Took me this long to have a relationship (I'm 24) and now everything just fell apart. Sorry for the rant but I'm at the lowest I've been in awhile. Thanks for any feedback. :)
