Lesson2belearned

Clothes weren't tight, loose gym shorts maybe one of the ingredients in my pre workout mix didn't help either? I do have giant bottles of lysine and vitamin c but didn't take them when I was working out. I sit and ponder the reasons this has happened it really hasn't set in yet still dealing with it I guess it seems like an outbreak happens goes away and comes right back at least with my first one now with the third it's been 4 months. 3 OBs the first 2 were back to back. I just got done with the acyclovir and now going on valtrex as a suppressive therapy I'm curious to see how that works out. Thanks again for the support

Posted one discussion on here before got some really uplifting and positive feed back. I had my first 2 outbreaks back 2 back about 4 months ago. Since nothing. No suppressive therapy no change in diet and I've been fine no OBs the last 3 weeks. I've gotten back in the gym and working extremely hard. Running 2-3 miles a day. One day I ran 4 and a half also is an intense lifting regiment well last night at work I went to use the restroom and BOOM! It's back and now worse almost like its spread into different nerve endings. I went right to the pharmacy and used a refill on acyclovir and started taking them. Does this mean I can't workout hard? I had some hope this damn virus would just lay quiet inside me. I'm extremely bummed and can use some advice. Can I workout with an outbreak with treatment? If I get on suppressive therapy can I continue my intense workouts? What do I do?

Thank you so much guys, yes I do need to talk to the other girl. I just don't know how and I'm guessing she knew as well. It was my choice and now I'm dealing with the consequences it's nice to know you guys care and this site is awesome with all the support. It's helped alot. I have already thought about the way I felt and am still feeling I NEVER want to make anyone feel that way. EVER. I'm not evil I'm not a party guy who's fueled with alcohol. I'm a good guy. I have to just learn how to have "the talk" do I tell the story? Do I just say I made a mistake, although this is not a terminal virus. It's a virus that will stay with me for life. I'm very grateful it's not something worse. Thank you guys for the support.

I'm a 30 year old male who lives alone has no children and has the world going for him. It was just a month ago I met a young lady who is in the army. I met her off an online dating site, she was cute seemed normal and same, she had goals an what I thought I had been waiting for. We went out on a date she had a drink and wanted to go back to my place. She asked me if I had a problem with finishing when I was with a girl, because she was allergic to latex and couldn't use condoms and she really liked the sensation of feeling a guy finish in her. It threw up some red flags for me but I asked her numerous times, you're clean right? Everytime she said oh yes 100% I swear. Please tell me you are too! So I went ahead and did it with no protection. She also kept telling me she hasn't had a partner in 6 months and just got back from deployment and had been tested. Well that day and the next day we had intercourse. Then things got fishy she became distant although she kept telling me how much she liked me and wanted to spend more time with me. We had went on a date the next weekend and by then I had a small sore on my penis. Thought maybe an ingrown hair it was very small and had a hair growing out of it. She kept insisting that we could not have sex due to her period even though I didn't bring it up not once, She did. We came back fell asleep and she left. 2 days later I went to the dr and got a culture done. My next meeting with her a week later she again said she was still on her period and couldn't have sex. I didn't care I enjoye her company. I was nice to her bought her gifts took her on dates and was generally a real sweet guy to her. When we met that night I went and met her at the movie theatre bought some tickets and she said "we need to talk" she informed me her ex boyfriend who was overseas in Afghanistan may have given her herpes and the clap. I wasn't not concerned with the clap a shot and some pills and I'm good. We didn't see the movie she left in tears and I had a feeling it'd be the last time I talked to her. Got the culture back. Positive for hsv didn't specify if 1 or 2. Got a 2nd opinion blood tests one negative the other positive. The small sore went away and before it was even gone... Boom round 2 way worse. Horrible. I'm totally mortified with myself so depressed angry and disappointed. I told her my results were positive and her response was very very cold " oh well guess you got yourself a little gift from Afghanistan now didn't you?" There was more much more. I'm so torn up inside I don't want to go to work don't want to leave my house I'm so disgusted and bummed out. Why? I know why. I made a bad choice. Last night I got on this forum and read some of the most positive and spirit lifting writings since i was diagnosed. Tonight I'm having a very hard time.. What do I do now? Tell everyone woman I sleep with? Not tell them use protection? What do I do? I've accepted I have it. Just depressed. Got a cycle of acyclovir so hopefully I caught this ob in time for it to work. Am I a leper? I was also sleeping with another girl while I was sleeping with the army girl I used protection but did have the sore. I'm praying to god she does not get it. I'm a very sad man. Thank you everyone on here for being so positive.... If anyone has advice I would really appreciate it. Mike
