Thank you for the info!! It is really appreciated

Thank you for your comments. They have helped. I'm 25 and at first I thought my life was over. But realized that my life is just getting started. My boyfriend said that herpes changes nothing. It has made us even closer

I wasn't taking daily meds I started taking them right after we had the sex. He had condoms but he decided he would take the risk... He is having a blood test taken in September. His insurance is giving him issues unfortunately:/ I just feel indifferent and sad that he loves me so much he would risk having unprotected sex with me.

Ok. So basically I was diagnosed with Genital HSV1 yesterday from a culture that was taken. My boyfriend has never had oral herpes or any signs of genital oral herpes. I know who gave it to me and it wasn't him. My bf knows about my diagnosis and has decided to be with me regardless of whether I have H or not. Because of my out break we have not had sex in two weeks. Tonight he decided he wanted to to sleep with me knowing what I have. He has not been tested yet. Is this unheard of? He willingly risked getting H. I cried right after because I feel bad... I did not have any open sores and all of it is cleared up. He wants to marry me and have a future. We've known each other for over a decade and really love one another. I was tested for all STDs and my pap was "normal" aside from bacteria and yeast.

Mp, I was just diagnosed with genital hsv1 today. It does suck. I'm also worried about the outlook of my sex life. My boyfriend and I have a lot of sex so I am pretty bummed our lives will forever be changed and we have to be extra careful.

Hello, I have this fear as well. I just was diagnosed with genital HS1. Which scares me because I don't want to pass it to my partner

Just received the word that I have type 1 HSV down there. I know it's not the end of the world. Who knows how long I've had it. Any tips on not transferring it to my boyfriend. He hasn't been tested yet he will have blood work done soon. So oral sex is off the table now huh?

Thanks, I will pick some up tonight and hope for the best. Question, I have a lone blister no near my groin, should I pop it? It doesn't hurt but it never goes away... I'm new to this site and new to this virus

Hey. I understand what you're going through. I think you should go to the doctor because you'll have to start meds. I also have a 99% feeling I have H too. My test culture results come back on Friday. Waiting for them sucks especially when you know you definitely have it. I had to tell my boyfriend also. It was hard but your boyfriend probably has it too and has no idea because he has no signs and symptoms. That's the case for me. Maybe talking with him will give you some support. You're only 21 and have so much life ahead of you.

Here's a question? Any help for those who have herpes in the perineal area? :(

It looks like you and I joined the same day and I'm dealing with the same situation. Hope it gets better :(
