Thank you both for responding. I appreciate your advice. Yes my first step will be to the doctor. I have active blisters so hopefully they will be able to take a swab from there. I have definitely learnt some big lessons lately. After being in a relationship for 15 years and now back on the dating scene this has definitely come as a shock. I have read some fantastic information here and another site (I've avoided googling images and random sites) and it has been encouraging. It's just the stigma that goes with it that is a little frightening. Any suggestions on what I say to this new guy. How I approach it? I am not angry with him. If he didn't know how can I be. At this point I genuinely feel that is the case but I won't truly know I guess until we have 'the talk'. Thank you again. It's nice having somewhere to come to feel supported.

Hi, I've spent the last few days reading everything on this site. What a wonderful forum to gather information, vent and help. Hoping that I can get some help myself!!! I had been feeling a little unwell, run down and tired. Didn't think too much of it as I had a pretty stressful week. Nothing seemed too abnormal until I felt the glands in my groin were sore, figured I'd stretched too much when I was out running. And then the pain in my privates started, a bit like I had been cut or sliced. Over the next couple of days it blew out to a number or red bumps that have since blistered, opened up and are very painful. I know I need to make an appointment to see my doctor but I'm so scared of what he will confirm. I have only just started seeing a new guy. We slept together on our 2nd date. It just progressed and it was amazing. We had the discussion about protection from pregnancy but not about anything else. (I've never had a conversation with any partner about STI's). :( we went out again the week later and everything was just as fantastic. But then about a week later my OB started. I haven't told him about this, I'm unsure of where it has come from Was it him, was it a previous partner, have I had it for ages and not known (although I'm doubting this as I've never hard a nothing like this). Aside from going to get this all confirmed, I don't know what to do from here. I don't know what to say to this guy. I've read all the wonderful stories about fantastic partners who are accepting of the situation. I just feel like it's all too good to be true and that it's not going to be that easy for me. I would appreciate any suggestions and advice. Thanks.
