  1. So my ex-boyfriend and I have been talking about getting back together for some time and I felt we were at the point that he should know about my HSV2 status before we proceed. He listened and the next day sent the sweetest text about how I should t blame myself, that it doesn't change who I am as a person, etc. but when I asked him how he felt about wanting to still proceed with a relationship, he said he was unsure. A week later(after not talking) he tells me that he still sees a future with me. I am happy, but want to make sure I give him all the info he needs to feel informed. What sites/information do you recommend I point him too? I want to protect him! I really do love him very much!
  2. @mmissouri I don't have outbreaks. Never have. Only prodrome symptoms. I have HSV2
  3. YogaJ12, I am having the same thing, minus the outbreaks. I have had a sensation of tingling since I was diagnosed with herpes, that seems present everyday. It has only been 8 months for me, so maybe I just need to be patient like Dancer said.
  4. Is it possible for a mother with herpes to pass on her antibodies to the virus to her child? I just found out that my mother has herpes and had it before I was born. Now I have it. Could that be why I never had the traditional first outbreak? I have only had prodome symptoms, but never a lesion, or anything visible.
  5. Hi all! I hope everyone is having a great week. I have enjoyed being in the background for the most part over the past few weeks as I have dealt with depression. I start counseling tomorrow and am looking forward to a church support group I joined to get over past hurts. However, today I think I might have had a slight break through. I really think I have been thinking about herpes in such a negative way that has me still feeling shame after 6months (post diagnosis). I thought to myself, what if I reframed it? Do you think it would be wrong for me to describe herpes as cold sores that come up in an inconvenient place?
  6. Would you mind sharing what you say or think to keep yourself from thinking negatively about yourself and Having H?
  7. oh, @chinup That would be great. Private messaging you now!
  8. Thank you guys! I'm looking forward to getting to the other side
  9. As of lately (and I know its still early in my healing process--just found out in June), I keep rehashing my relationship with the man that brought me Herpes. There were so many signs and so many times that I should have walked away before we became intimate, but I still did and without a condom. I think I was so wanting that relationship to work that I just lowered my standards and for that, I keep beating myself up. I am also still wondering why he hasn't called me to let me know his test results. I am assuming then I should just believe he indeed was my "gifter". I really feel like I am on a hamster wheel--going through a vicious circle of beating myself up for the poor choice I made. It can be so easy to magnify something that probably isn't a big deal into something so big. I just want to feel better and like myself again.
  10. Unbroken--thank you! I am two months post-diagnosis and am struggling in the same area as hope24. Thank you for your words. I am truly loving the support and non-judgemental environment on this forum. You guys rock!
