Hi! I'm here to chat if anyone needs a buddy!! :-)

Hi!! Anyone in the New Orleans area that needs a buddy? But if anyone from anywhere needs anyone to talk, I am here!! I have had HSV2 for almost 3 years. I am a 31 year old Female. I am willing to help make a change in the world to where anyone who has an STI does not have to feel ashamed, damaged, or disgusting in any way. If anyone makes you feel like you aren't worthy of anything good in life because you had sex like almost everyone on this planet, then they really should have a little closer look on how life works. S**t happens, and no one is invisible to anything in this world. Don't sell yourself short, and having an STI is not an automatic excuse for ANYONE to treat you differently or make you feel like you are not a human being. I hope this reaches out to someone who needs it. I have been in a bad place before, and I wanted to shed some light on how great you really are!

Hi @wcsdancer2010, Thank you for your answer :-). The reason I thought they were not canker sores is because they are painless and I had quite a bit of them on the inside bottom of my mouth. I only have two now. Maybe I was just looking too much into it because it was just weird that I happened to get that right after. Yes I'm sure that he already had HSV1. Thank you for your help!

Hello all!! I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. I was diagnosed with ghsv2 about a year and a half ago. About 2 months ago, unfortunately, I found out that I transmitted it to my boyfriend. (I hate that this happened!) When he got his blood test results back it was confirmed that he had hsv1 and hsv2. I have been having cold sores since I could remember. I haven't had one in a few years, but I used to have them. So I know that I also have hsv1. We did not have sex again (including oral) until about 5 days ago. The next day I realized that I had a sore inside my mouth. I didn't think much about it because I thought that it was a canker sore or I just bit the side of my cheek. The next day I started to feel tingling in my lower lip and later that day I realized that I had a few white looking bumps on the bottom inside of my mouth, but they have been painless. I also realized a very small bump on the back of my throat. I started to feel cold like symptoms (I don't know if this part was just in my head!) I have been doubling and even tripping on antivirals since then. The bumps are still there, but they are getting smaller and not too noticeable. I am just wondering if it could just be a hsv1 outbreak. It is just weird because I have never had one like this before, or maybe I never noticed it in the past. It is weird that oral sex would cause a recurrence like this? The other thought in my mind is that it is oral hsv2, but since I have had cold sores and knowing that I have hsv1, I was protected against oral hsv2 and I can't get both kinds in the same location. I'm not sure if this triggered a breakout of my hsv1 or if I now have oral hsv2, and actually never had oral hsv1 (I had cold sores growing up). Does any of this make sense? Sorry if I am all over the place. I have my yearly check up with my doctor next week, so I will for sure ask him. I also wanted to see if maybe one of ya'll had the same experience or any advice. I really appreciate your help!

Hi! I am currently going through a really tough time because I gave my now ex boyfriend herpes. I disclosed this to him before we started dating and he was understanding and said that he didn't care. We talked about it from time to time, but it didn't seem to bother him. Well he ended up contracting it and that is when our relationship turned to the worst. We are not together right now, and we rarely talk. I am not sure if we will ever get back together. Will I ever be able to forgive myself? I was diagnosed about 1 year and a half ago and I came to a peace about it to myself, but this is even worse than when I found out that I had it. Thanks so much for your support and help!

Hi everyone! This is my first post. I really need someone to talk to because I am going through a dilemma and I feel quite alone. I never thought I would let the big bad H ruin my life because I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago and I came to a peace with it. Something recently happened and I could really use a buddy :-). I could talk to a male or female buddy. I would love to get an outside perspective on my situation. I really appreciate it :-)
