  1. Well, I had my initial outbreak just a couple days after being exposed. I have read that you can NOT have symptoms but that wasn't the case with me. I'm not even sure I believe that. It sounds more like you got it from the most recent guy. That's my guess. My guy tried to tell me he doesn't have it, but I don't believe him because I know my sexual history. I know my body.
  2. Yea I am hoping that I don't get any OBs now that I am taking the meds all the time. They are so expensive though. Yea I'm sure it will come out positive with the second test.
  3. I also take lysine and zinc and vitamin C, A & B. I only take 500mg of valcyclovir as well. That's why my guy did too. He said he doesn't have it and would get tested. I pressed him for a copy of the results and he said "It's not on his priority list to go all the way over there to get it". Yea the constant reminder is the part that hurts. So when you said you got an OB was that while taking valacyclovir or did you stop taking that as well? I can't say if the suppressants help yet. I tested positive with letian swab, then tested negative with blood test, so I stopped taking taking the pills. 8 weeks later I had another blood test and it came back positive. I have had 3 OB since April when I had my first. I immediately started taking the pills and within 48 hours they were gone. I am now taking them every day. Do you get OB if you take yours every day?
  4. At the time I had no symptoms of anything, and the very next day I conveniently had my gyno appointment. It wasn't until this morning when I felt more pain that I saw ulcers. Thanks How do you know he didn't give it to you? That's what happened to me and because I know my sexual history I knew it was not possible that I got it from anyone else but him. Even though he denied it, I knew.
  5. Thank you StillBella for sharing your story. Every morning I wake up and say to myself, "Nope, it wasn't a dream". Are you taking the one a day pill to suppress OB? that is wonderful that you were able to find someone that accepts you for you. I have faith I will some day. I am getting more comfortable with it. It just sucks. I feel like my value dropped although I know that I am still a good woman and everything I was prior to this little friend. I fear giving it to anyone and think maybe I will just never have sex agains o I don't have to feel humiliation by telling anyone. But why? How could others just spread it like it's nothing? Like your ex, or my ex? How could they just take that chance without disclosing it to us? The easy way out?
  6. Mel I look at it that way too. This has forced me to date the right way.
  7. so I was dating this guy for several months before finally having sex. After a few days I woke up with sores and thought maybe it was a rash. After it got worse I went to the doctor and the lesion swap came back as HSV2. I was devastated. I immediately contacted him and he said he would go get tested. He because very distant and didn't seem to sympathize with me or understand what I was going through. A few days later he came back and told me he tested negative for HSV2. He took a blood test which was different than the test I took. I thought this was weird because I haven't had any other partners. I went back to the doctor and asked her for a blood test. A few days later my test came back negative for HSV2. I apologized to him and was very confused. I felt like I had dodged a bullet. I began researching and read that it can take 6-8 weeks for antibodies to build up, so I decided I would wait a few weeks and get retested. A few weeks later I had another blood test and this time it was positive for HSV2. I have been on a roller coaster. I have it, relief I don't, and back to I do. I told him after my second test and I haven't heard from him since. I know there is no way possible that I got it anywhere else other than him. I am feeling alone, scared, miserable and dirty. The outbreaks don't bother as much as that constant voice inside my head reminding me that I am scarred. I can't help but look around when I am in social situations wondering who else might have it. I fear that I will never date again because I don't want to tell anyone I have this. I feel ashamed. I wish I could go back and take it all away but we all know I can't. I am taking the suppression pills so I don't have outbreaks and I have started take Lysine BCAA, which suppresses it as well. The problem isn't having it. The problem is not wanting to spread it to anyone else so not dating. I could use a friend to talk too. Male or female doesn't matter. It would just be nice to talk to someone who understands the stigma of Herpes and dating.
