@hikinggirl ok so ya...i guess it seems routine for doctors to do this. i was just confused ...i was like just give me the meds! lol but ya i made an appointment

@ash2018 wow ya... you're right...i shouldnt be afraid to take the meds every day...i should be more afraid of an ob! and thank you so much for all your knowledge and advice...i feel a lot better :)

@ash20 i was thinking about starting to take it suppressively ... does it really prevent outbreaks? you have to take it everyday? i dont like taking medication thats why i have only taken it during ob... but maybe i should start taking it...seeing as how im going to start dating people

@ash2018 they prescribe me acyclovir...i read some of your post and you mentioned you take valtrex...im not sure which is better as ive olny used the one...but maybe i should ask them about it when i go

@ash2018 thank you for reading and for your advice. it is planned parenthood that I initially went to ...at the time i didnt have insurance. i get pap smears through a gyno...which i do have an appointment soon and i will discuss this with them... i just have been going through pp because they diagnosed me and told me all i had to do was call and i could get the prescription ... but when i go to my gyno i will see if i can get the meds from them from now on. the hpv showed up a year ago in my pap but my pap came back normal, which means no sign of cancer...they said that it could go away on its own... this next pap .. if it comes back abnormal they will have to do tests to see if i have cancer cells...which is a scary thought. but hopefully it will be ok. I did hear of a scary thing about getting hpv in the throat with can cause throat cancer. but there are no tests for that yet.

after years of being in a mentally abusive long term relationship with a chronic cheater and liar, I finally left him. he gave me hsv1 and hpv (cancer kind) i am so scared of the thought of reentering the dating scene like this. i know I will have to tell people that I have these things. but of course only people I'm serious about. I'm not interested in flings . I want a happy life with someone who will treat me right and build a life together. how.. when..do i say these things? speaking of...i am having another outbreak :/ i called the doctor to get medicine, they usually just send the prescription...but this time they told me that since it's been so long since I've been in I have to make an appointment for a new prescription...i don't really understand why I have to do this. It's a chronic disease ....nothing has changed... what's the point?

i'm so happy that you overcame everything...very inspiring to me! i am finally leaving him! i feel very scared and excited at the same time...

2 years ago i contracted hsv1 (genital area) a few days after having unprotected sex with my boyfriend. we had been together for 2 months at the time but always wore protection until then. I went to the dr. they did a swab test and it came back positive. i had written an earlier post about "boyfriend in denial" so basically he has been in denial for 2 years ...saying he did not have it or have any symptoms and even denied that I had it...saying the dr was wrong ...i asked him many times to get a blood test and he refused.... a couple weeks ago i had an outbreak again... and it came up again that he should get a blood test...so this time he did go to the dr. they basically told him that the blood test is faulty and there was no point if he does not have any symptoms. but the dr. did say that if I had it he most likely does have it or even gave it to me without symptoms. should i just stop worrying about this? or should we try another dr.? is this just pointless? i guess i just wanted him to stop being in denial about the situation.

@HikingGirl thank you for your advice and honesty... anyone in their sane mind would agree with you ...and I do too... I know this is a toxic relationship and I've not even gone half of the terrible things in this relationship... every time I do "leave" or try to he turns into dr. jekell and mr. hyde... he becomes the sweetest guy...then back to the same toxic behavior after I let him back in my life... he is very manipulative .... my self worth has been whittled away.... I would have never put up with any of this before ...but i find i don't even recognize myself anymore.... I hope i am strong enough one day to really leave him... none of this helps me in dealing with my herpes issue ...and at one point I found myself saying...maybe he is right I don't have it and the dr. was wrong...but I know this isn't the case...I do have it... he most likely gave it to me...and then with him cheating...he is spreading it and not telling others he has it ...because he is in denial ...he "says" he has an appointment next week....after 2 and half years he is finally going... I don't know how accurate blood tests are for herpes ...he says he has never had symptoms and that no one from his past has ever caught it from him...I don't know what to believe from him anymore ... he lies a lot.

this is my first time posting ... I have been going through some frustrating things with my boyfriend , and I need some advice or to see if others have had similar problems with their partners. I was diagnosed with hsv1 of the genitals... two and a half years ago. I noticed symptoms 2 days after having sex with my boyfriend ...we had only been seeing each other for 2 months at the time and usually wore protection...that time we did not. the test came back positive for hsv1 and I told him that. He immediately denied it...saying the doctors were wrong and that he had never had any symptoms ... i asked him to get a blood test and he would not go.... so i had a couple more outbreaks after that the first year. he still denied it and would not go get tested... by the way i recently found out he has been cheating on me the whole time we have been together with multiple people ... it has been a little over a year since I've had an outbreak, and now I'm having one again... still he denies I have it or that he does... he has been pressuring me to have 3 somes and be into a "swinger" lifestyle ...otherwise he gets bored and wants to cheat.... I don't know why I'm staying with him...maybe it's because I'm so worried no one will want to be with me if they know I have herpes ... i told him that he needs to go get tested or I can't continue our relationship ...and that we can't have these sexual adventures without him being tested and coming to terms with the fact that I have it ...and he most likely gave it to me.... and that we will have to disclose this information to these potential "flings" ....he agreed to get tested ..but he doesn't want me to go...I have suspicion that he will lie and not really go...but he said he would bring the paper work....I just wanted to share my story ...thank you for listening ...maybe some of you have had experiences with denial in relationships.
