Oh now I get it yeah my doctor didn't do a blood test she only popped a blister and got swab but that's it.now I know but thanks so much for the info it helped me a lot !!!

@wcddancer2010 I'm sorry

@wdcdancer no no nothing like I would never ever do that to my son who I worked so hard during my pregnancy to not transmit it to him I would never do that !!! But I'm just always paranoid like if I accidentally touch his face or a door knob and then he touches his face idk so much things run thru my mind its never ending !!! But update on his cheek the next day it was already dried up after I had boughten some medication but I will keep an eye on it. Now I do have hsv1 I'm a Lil confused on that so I got it because someone with hsv 1 transmitted to me orally is that how it works ? I just got retested in my last post my last outbreak was 8 years ago!!!! It did come back positive which I already knew that I just didn't know if I had hsv 1 or 2 but one it is I guess...so if my son was to get hsv1 like a cold sore he will transmitted to his partner when he's older then ?

How do you know if you have oral herpes? I have genital tho. But idk it was just weird how he got it out of no where its makes me really sad ! I just tend to think the worse but I'll keep an eye on his mouth and see if anything else pops up?

This is one of my hardest topics that I always think about. Does anyone with herpes have any kids ? I do I have a 5 year old boy and I had him normal. I'm happy my baby was not harmed due to my herpes but now all the time I feel so paranoid like all the time . does anyone here have kids that have herpes I've read a lot of stories and it scares me to death That what if my son gets it because of me I will literally die if my son does get it :( for example today I noticed something blistery on the side of his lip I can't stop crying is because of me ? I'm praying to god its nothing :(

Wow really 30 years thanks so much for the support means a lot ❤ god bless

It had been 8 years.....8 freakn years that I had an outbreak I'm so confused I'm so hurt :( I knew all along I had herpes but I never saw a sign until this week . I had bronchitis the week before and had to take antibiotics my doctor said that might had of triggered the outbreak. I feel so sad its like if I was new to this.I just had to let it out....I'm not having a good day today :(

I've been seeing this guy for about 3 months now he's amazing! He understands me in anyway but an std is a huge thing! I mean I've been outbreak free for about 6 years thank god and I'm going to make an appointment to get some antivirals and to refreshened my mind on which one do I have if type one or type 2 I can't believe its been that long that I don't remember! Coming here I've learned so many things and read so many disclosing stories I'm thinking of disclosing with this guy but I'm really scared and I think its time. I really dont want to keep going and let him keep thinking everything is ok with me when its not. Im putting myself in his shoes and I would like to know, so any advice ? Take note this is my second time disclosing my first time was in highschool a year after I got it but everyone is different, every person doesn't think the same and it being 6 years later so much has changed please help I'm so confused :(

@wcsdancer2010 wow really that what I tought because my last outbreak was when I was a junior in highschool. I moved to san francisco my junior year for half a year (around that time the cheating was at its worse with him) I just wanted to get away I had just found out I had herpes so I left my city. I found this new guy and we were getting really close to eachother he was my bf and one day I just decided to tell him and luckily he accepted me I was shocked but I was scared to even have sex with someone that didn't have it. The relationship ended and I can't believe I had a disclosure so @judith maybe this guy will be okay with it aswell ? I will be making a doctors appointment so I can look into antivirals because as a woman I feel like I want to be loved to its not my fault I got herpes but I rather be safe for not only me but my partner as well. (We haven't had sex) but if the day comes i want to be ready for the talk and sex aswell.

Yes the relationship was so unhealthy it was starting to take a toll on my health as well as my son so I'm happy I'm out of that it was way to long, but now I fear rejection this guy is amazing but I think to myself If I was in his shoes I wouldn't even know what to do either if somone told me they had herpes. I've never been in that situation until now and I don't know how he's going to react he knows everything I've been through with my abusive relationship but not what I have. I'm really starting to stress over that' really bad !:( @judith

Thank you so much @wcsdancer2010 I will sure look into all these stories coming here and reading all these stories give me hope! !! I hope he understands what I've been through and how I got to where I am at 7 years later and I've been out break free since I was first diagnosed in 2007 I only got 2 bad outbreaks but ever since then I haven't gotten any outbreaks can you explain to me as in why I've been outbreak free? Im not on antivirals I didn't even know you can take medecine to lower the risk! I want to look into it though!

I was a sophomore in highschool when I started going out with my new bf. As a new couple we were in love ofcourse we started having sex. Always used condoms until we started taking things serious, or so I tought after about 6 months he started cheating on me most of them I didn't know off I was so in love with him I took him back a couple of times. On my 17th birthday I clearly remember we started drinking and we had sex with out a condom well 2 weeks later I noticed a bumb on my genitals and when I saw that I tought okay maybe its an ingrown hair well a couple of days later I started getting sick like flu symptoms. Apparently I was having an outbreak which lasted about 2 weeks I went to the doctor the check it out and sure enough she said she wasn't 100 % sure but it deff looked like herpes.I held in my tears so hard I just wanted to wake up from the nightmare I was having. My doctor prescribed valtrex and the outbreak was gone in a couple of days. I fealt as if my life was over suicide was constantly running through my head but I decided I was stronger than that. Now the next step was to figure out how I got it, I knew I had to get it from him I wasn't sleeping around. He completely denied it that he was sleeping around but what was that going to do take our herpes away. Well a couple of years passed and we were still together. I fealt that since I had herpes no one else was going to want me like that. I got pregnant right after I graduated highschool and I was really anxious how I was going to have my son. He was born vaginally because I wasn't having an outbreak at the time and he was born healthy I was so happy about that! Herpes was always one of the fight starters I had a lot of resentment towards him because he would treat me like crap, well 3 years later we finally broke up after 7 years of being together and with a baby. 7 long happy and painful years over it took me a good while to resent myself and forgive him for everything he did to me. Its going to be almost a year we broke our relationship up. Well a couple of months ago I met this amazing guy and started feeling those butterlfys in my stomache eveytime he would call me. Were still getting to know each other some more each day we talk and hang out, but its always in the back of my head that I have herpes and how am I going to tell this person if he really wants to take things serious with me I don't know I guess I'm always thinking ahead he's super sweet and I woukd totally understand if he rejected me but I'm scared Im always going to be rejected for something that wasn't my fault. Its starting to stress me out because this guy is the first guy I start having a thing with since my sons dad! This is going to be harder than I tought :/
