@howdidithappen there is also an offshoot app from Okcupid I believe, maybe match called positive singles. This is specifically designed for people who have tested positive for things including herpes. Might want to give it a try. Good luck!

Hi guys, I am a 24 year old female that was diagnosed less than a week ago. I am still reeling from the news. Essentially, this is a lifestyle change and I'm trying to figure out all that it entails. I have so many questions and I would love the opportunity to talk to someone who has been down this road about different options (suppressive therapy or not), having a balanced life (beyond the eating right and exercising, but vitamins and other things to keep stress down), to understanding how I can have a good and healthy sex life. I find myself in the good days and bad days mentality right now and today has been a good day. I want to say thank you to this community, you guys have been a huge help in showing me that life can go on. I don't know what I would have done without this forum to turn to in the odd hours of the night when I can't sleep. So if anyone is out that that is willing to talk, let me know. It would be nice to talk to some people about thsee beginning steps.
Second OB?

Hey everyome, need some help and advice. I was diagnosed with HSV1 (G) in the beginning of June. I never had a chance to see my sores.
I had tried before about a month a half after being diagnosed but it was way to painful to continue. It hurt A LOT the next morning and thoughout the day, but stopped the next day. I was very concerned about getting an OB but didn't want to begin taking the antivirals.
I had full sex about a week and a half ago with another positive person. I experienced some pain, not too bad during sex (not to get graphic here, not too much foreplay and no lube). Afterwards, it was quite sore for a few days, then got itchy. Today, I can't be sure but I think I found a sore. Am I too late to take antivirals? When should I have started taking them? Did the friction of sex cause this? What can I do in the future? I am literally beginning to believe never going to be able to have normal sex again, (which logically after reading what you all have written, I know is untrue). I'd love some feedback here, thanks.
