  1. Hey all, So I'm a 21 year old male who had a first outbreak several months ago. Very mild, and healed up in a matter of days. My girlfriend gave it to me, but she did disclose and I took the risk. However, we will be going our separate ways in a year or so (transferring out of community college to a four year university,) and I worry day after day about my situation. Granted, I haven't had what I would consider an outbreak since the first one, but after we have sex sometimes I see very small red inflamed areas that go away after a day or so. I don't even know if these are considered "lessions" because they are hardly noticeable and go away so fast - but sometimes it does look like something more than a friction burn. Anyways, The thing is, I've been tested twice for herpes (1 & 2) and both results came back negative. The second time was a few days after my first outbreak, and after it was pretty much healed up completely. The first time was a few weeks prior just out of curiosity. Both negative. When I transfer I am interested in a casual sex life. I find myself enjoying the company of multiple women. This is where I'm torn. I know I'm not the guy to get outbreaks, and I'm confident if I did get tested again my results would come back negative. I talked to one of my guy friends about it and he said, "Dude, you're going to be a 22 year old guy in college. Your d*ck doesn't have anything on it and your STD tests (including herpes) come back negative every time. Why the #@^$ would you go around telling girls you have herpes." And he's right. Logically, this seems the argument I would side with. But I know what I caught and what I have, regardless of how symptoms and tests add up (and yes, I'm fully aware of false negatives.) And though I would wear condoms, (I probably wouldn't EVERYTIME if I was close with the girl,) I worry greatly about passing it onto them. So, I'm wondering whether I should just get tested before transferring and go with the negative results, or if I shouldn't get tested and let my doc know I'm having an outbreak so he could prescribe me valtrex to reduce my risk of potentially spreading. I feel like my doc would raise his eyebrows higher than the empire state building if I asked for valtrex after my third negative test. Anyone have any advice or a similar situation they've experienced that they can share with me? I need some peace of mind and someone to listen to who is in a similar boat. Thanks...
