@HerryTheHerp @WCSDancer2010 Thank you so much for the advice and information. I'm planning on having the talk with my ex tomorrow and will tell him to go get checked. I'm hoping he takes the news ok. It would be a shame to end things with the new guy, but I don't think I have the confidence and knowledge to have the conversation with him yet, so will try and slow things down. Thanks again

Hey. I just had my HSV2 confirmed yesterday after having a swab. My initial outbreak has been pretty minimal, because when I first noticed the sores on my penis, I did some googling to find out what it was and found a lot of information. I have had cold sores since I was a kid, so always have Lysine and cold sore cream in the house, so started using them both immediately. Although cold sore cream is not supposed to work for genital herpes, it has helped. I broke up with my boyfriend of 1 year and a half about 2 months ago, with a bit of break up sex 2 weeks later. I'm not sure if he gave it to me or if I already had it, but have not had any noticeable symptoms until now. I have just started dating a new guy, that Im very excited about and had about 3 dates that have gone really well. I think the next time I seem him, it is likely that we would have sex. Since I found out my diagnosis yesterday, my head has been spinning about the whole thing and conversations I need to have. I know I need to have a conversation with my ex, so that he can get tested and to just to talk about the whole thing. Then there is the new guy. I know that if we are going to have a sexual relationship I need to discuss it with him, but I don't know if I'm ready to when I'm still coming to terms with it myself. So I'm thinking I'm going to have to end it and make up a lame excuse for not being interested, when all my words and actions until now have been the opposite. Some advice and support would be appreciated
