  1. Thank you so much! I'm going to do that to get peace of mind. Thank u for taking ur time and letting me know! I'll let u know how it goes!
  2. I had a small outbreak happen four days after I was with someone who has hsv 1 and may of had a coldsore coming on. I decided I would go to planned parenthood and get a culture done...the culture came back positive. I asked her for what type and they don't type them there. She told me they "assume it's type 2" anyways I waited until feb to get a blood test done to see if I would just come back positive type 1 or 2. And it came back negative for both. She said they tested for recent and past exposure. Before October I wasn't with anyone since maybe early July. And we had sex once. If I had the type 2 would it of shown on my results? How can I get a definitive diagnosis? Maybe I should of waited longer to get the blood test done?? Any suggestions on what I should do? I haven't had an outbreak since I know I must have at least type 1 I'm just confused here :/
  3. This made me cry. Also because I'm not in the best mood about everything :/ but it does give hope. Happy for you!!!!
  4. Omg I have this pimple on my cheek and I swear u can't pop it and it just looks different than any normal pimple. This sounds gross but mine is like dark red with like a crusty center. Sounds like a coldsore that's not on my mouth.
  5. I wish I could just come out but I don't think it's the thing for me...at least not now. I'm not sure what I'm so worried about anyways. So what if someone thinks I have it? I'm not sleeping with them it's not any of their business right? I just find myself wondering who knows or thinks that they know. I never used to care about what people thought of me I don't get why this is so different. But yes ur right confidence is key I suppose :) I have a lot of self work to do!
  6. I confided in a friend of mine who also has herpes to be able to talk about it. She ran her mouth the day I told her ( which I didn't even have the official call yet) to some of my guy "party friends." I then confronted her and she denied it. I made it like well the joke was on her but my results came back negative. I also confronted the people she told and told them I didn't have it. All In all maybe like five guys may of found out about it. these guys aren't my real friends just party friends. I just cringe at the fact that it could be spread in my town. What if my results where in fact negative I'm sure I wouldn't even care if people thought that because I'd have the mentality of "who cares it's not like I really have it!" But since I do it really hits home. It's been consuming a lot of my thoughts...especially since lately I have realized that herpes isn't the end of the world. However it was something that I wished would of never got out of my close friends and family circle. Any advice on how to not let this bother me? Has this happened to anyone?
  7. Sorry I'm so late to responding to these amazing responses, thank you so much @WCSDancer2010 @inka @Sil88 (not sure how to tag people...sigh I'm such a newbie lol) but I cannot begin to explain how thankful I am for people like you guys and this site. After about a week or two of thinking I don't see myself any different and I feel so much better. I choose to learn and grow from this. Even though it is very hard for me. Thank you all again for ur support :)
  8. Found myself away from this site for a while only to end up back to google. I would google things that were like "would you date someone with herpes" and the responses were so horrible. It was like 9/10 of the people would say 100% hell no and it really hurt. It hurt because people would repeat the facts and transmission rates...and it just came down to most people would rather not take the risk even if it's a slight chance. many said u could find just as an attractive fun person with qualities you want who doesn't have herpes. I'm 20 years old and I can't see anybody accepting this any time soon. I'm kind of talking to somebody but it just makes me sad because I can't be my old self anymore. what I would give to not have this. It has caused me so much pain. Sorry for the negative post but it's just one of this days......any thoughts?
  9. So I have seen many statistics saying that 80 percent of the people infected with genital herpes do not know they have genital herpes. So if roughly 16 percent of the population has it....does that mean 80 percent of the 16 percent doesn't know they have it? So roughly 12 percent only actually KNOW they have it? Please correct me if I'm wrong! I seem to always have weird thoughts going in my head. Just feels like there isn't THAT many people out there carrying the weight I carry around :( -Ashley
  10. This has to be one of my favorite stories. Especially the part about your step mom and grandpa having it but because they made it seem like such a normal thing. Lemme tell ya it gave me huge relief. I'm amazed how much these stories really make me feel better
  11. I was just diagnosed about a month ago and you remind me of myself in many ways. I'm 20 years old and never had a serious boyfriend. So when I was diagnosed I felt like "well now there's no way I'll ever get a bf," but after so so soo much thinking I have more hope than ever. I used to chase after people and give my body to undeserving people. I kind of feel like now I'll get a chance to date the "right" way. Everyone has their flaws and having herpes doesn't have anything to do with you as a person. I have had the roughest weeks of my life but I know it won't be like this for forever. Keep your head up. People will be understanding, it could happen to anybody! Nothing in my life has changed besides my way of thinking. And honestly your mind is everything. I choose to not let this ruin my life and it will hopefully make us stronger :)
  12. Every time I read success stories like this I can't help but feel like I'm there. I feel so much emotion and joy. this site has been amazing and iv only been on it for one day! I hope one day I can find somebody understanding....sigh
