Thank you so much for your response I am trying to stay positive and look after my body more. It will be very annoying if herpes happens after every monthly cycle but hopefully it will become less often. As for sex I have already told one person who I had been involved with pre diagnosis. I was terrified to have the conversation but to my surprise it went fine and he was very positive about it not being a problem and that we would just be careful. I hope I am so lucky when I next have to disclose. Thanks again for your support and reassurance. X
