Okay, so I haven't been on here for awhile. Sorry! But I found a Facebook group and it seems as if most of these people are just trying to get everyone on the same page as them, wether it be for a piece of mind for them or what. But my question is, is it possible to have "asymptomatic" ghsv? Also, I just need a refresher for the ghsv-1 facts, as I am disclosing soon..

I meant on, not ok! But I am ok;)

Thanks to everyone who helped me verbally and silently ok here! I wouldn't have been able to do it without all of you!

Hey guys! So this is my story hopefully it can give you all some hope of you haven't had the talk yet! So on Saturday I spent the entire morning stressing and worryin about what to tell my guy! So I get off work, go home and he's sleeping so instantly I was relieved thinking I don't have to tell him. Wroong he wakes up and he cuddles me a little, all while im fighting myself inside "okay tell him now, no no not now, okay now", meanwhile he had his head on my chest and my heart was just racing! Finally he goes "why is your heart racing" ( I was so relieved it was such a perfect opportunity to explain!!) so I said " Because I have to tell you about something, I don't really want too because I actually care for you and can see us going further together and im scared this will end it." He goes " okay shoot, it can't be that bad" so I tell him and explain it all to him, well to my surprise he has been with someone with Hsv-2! He already knew facts and everything! So 5 minutes later he literally says "so now that that's out of the way, can we have sex now?!" I stressed out so bad for nothing! Thanks everyone for their help and support!:)

It went amazing actually! I will post a success story in that category:)

Thanks everyone, today is d-day, and more scared than ever, can barely control my emotions anything and to top it off im at work :(

Yay! Im happy for you that he didn't run! Sounds like an honorable man:) keep your head up lady!

Heck if you want I'll be your h buddy!

Lots of my friends know, they're all so interested in knowing, more and more about it! So @bslydell tell someone it'll be so much better to have a friend to talk to about it! Even if they're not romantically into you!

Thanks! I was beginning to think no one wanted to talk to me lol! I was reading a few other posts in here trying to get some more knowledge crammed in, and one of the moderators was saying there is little known evidence of even transmitting the ghsv-1 genital to genital I think if I read it right, so that's more good news. This is so stressful! But thank you so much, I'll keep you updated:)

Anyone....?

Hi guys! It's been forever since I've been on here, I've been doing pretty good with the whole deal- but im back for a little advice! Okay, so Saturday im going to disclose with a guy I've been hanging out with for awhile now, he seems to be a very genuine guy(hopefully).. Im wondering he once told me has impetigo, he himself blatantly told me "it is a form of herpes" and I've researched it, a lot and came up with lots of different things on it. What is the life cycle of impetigo vs Hsv-1, and information on that If anyone knows? ALSO,(im so sorry im needy today) how to bring it up? I am thinking of just casually being like.. " Remember how you told me you had impetigo, and it's a form of herpes- well I have a form of it too, but they're both not big deals..." And then go on into detail about my specific Hsv? I guess this is all hoping he doesn't walk away from me right then and there? Sos, please help:)

Oh! Well thank you! :)

Okay! Im glad I found this, I posted a few days back about a bladder infection linked to a cold sore, (ob which is really just one tiny spot at a time)- a week or two leading up to my sore I had almost irritation but just feels funky almost like a tingle, just feels funky.. I've been all stressed out that somehow I contracted another std somehow and googling everything under the sun that it could be. So thankful for this post, I still have my tiny sore and it still feels funny, i don't exactly know what a prodrome is.. But this post definitely put my mind at ease that it is just another funky side effect of the Hsv!

This first post is exactly how I felt, and still occasionally feel about my Hsv-1 genital. Im learning to cope, I've had one rejection (which he is still a friend, and neighbor and has told me multiple times he doesn't think of me any differently, bull hooey Huh?) and one success (he was just the wrong guy for me) but willing to accept me for me! Such a hard pill to swallow, I really enjoyed reading all of the posts, the negative ones are exactly my thoughts. Even today I was talking with a friend about medication I am taking for my "acne"(which is really just nothing) but- to me I feel like I cannot control my H out breaks but I can control everything else, from my pretend acne, to my weight and for a guy to like me, like I have to be perfect for him to want to stick around after learning I have H. Im still a rookie at this, H stuff, just since August, so I love to read the positive things, while im still trying to patch myself up again!
