Adrial Thanks for getting in touch, it means a lot to me. I just wanted to ask you a question, and its a bit personal but how do you deal with having a partner who HSV-? This is probably my biggest fear, Im sure I will learn how to take care of myself with time but how do you deal with when you meet someone that really means something to you? How can you make sure it doesnt affect the relationship? the not being able to have unprotected sex, all of these things have been going round and round in my head. Any info you could provide would be most appreciated. THANK YOU.

Thanks Flygal that info has been pretty useful. Can anyone please give me some info on whether there is less chances of transmission if you increase the the daily those ( 2x400mg of aciclovir to lets say 2x600mg or even 2x800mg? Thank you very much for your support.

Guys than you soo much for all your messages, its comforting to know that there's other people out there who have survived through this. This has been really hard on me, really hard to the point that I feel sick. I just hope I can get through this. Again i thank you for taking the time to get in touch. I am interested to know what precautions can be taken to make sure that you dont put anyone else at risk when sexually active? would the use of a condom be enough? antivirals? both? any info you could provide would be most welcome. Again thank you so much for your help and support.

Hi Guys, I am a 30 year old male and I have been recently diagnosed with HSV-2. I feel like my world has come to and end, I am having trouble sleeping, working and even going on about my normal life. This has changed everything for me. The news has been so hard hat I'm considering quitting my job and just go somewhere where I can be alone so I can come to grips with this. I feel like I will be alone forever and there is no way I will get to start a family which is something Ive always wanted. It seems like the only thing I can think of is this damn Virus! Please help....
