I had a genital outbreak that is just now clearing up. It's the first time something like this has happened so i got tested and was told I was HSV1 positive. She said i had gotten it from oral sex and I really didn't have anything to worry about. So after this clears up completely I don't have to worry about giving it to anyone? Will I have another random outbreak or would oral sex have to be involved. The reason why im confused is because I haven't had oral sex in forever. I don't like the way it feels so it's not something I do often. I've been with my current SO for over two years and he's never had a cold sore. And he hasn't gone down on me in a long time. So how could I have gotten an outbreak? Ive also never had a cold sore. I'm just so confused!

Those same type of thoughts are running through my head right now. I just got tested yesterday for herpes because I'm having what I assume is a breakout. I had a baby 6 weeks ago and when I went to my OB to get tested and she confirmed my suspicions of this possibly being herpes I just couldn't and still can't understand how I didn't know till now. You would think they'd testing pregnant women. Its a simple f*ing blood test...and it's ridiculous to have to specifically ask to be tested for herpes during an STD test. It pisses me off to think that I could've passed this on to my baby if I had him vaginally and had an unknown outbreak.

So I'm waiting on results to see if I have herpes. I'm pretty sure this is what I have so I have questions. My SO and I have an amazing sex life and very active, multiple times a week. We have rough sex. Is this going to have to change now? Could it cause an outbreak? I've always been obsessed with the way my vagina looks. I like to keep it shaved and perfect looking. I have an outbreak right now, That's why I've gotten tested and pretty sure I have it. Will I be able to shave after this outbreak goes away? Or will that put me at risk for another outbreak? I don't feel attractive with too much hair down there and I feel like that is going to hurt mine and SOs sex life in a way. Are these sores going to scar my vagina after they go away? Like I said before I'm very self conscious about the way it looks, if it scars im going to be devastated

I know, I know the facts of herpes. I just really don't want this to be true. It's so painful right now I can't even pee without sobbing. I'm pissed at the world I guess. I'm upset that I won't be able to ever shave again. I'm upset that this is going to rule my sex life with my SO, who is being amazing right now. Ive always been a very healthy person I can't remember the last time I got sick and I hate taking medications that are unnatural and now I'll have to for the rest of my life. And then that makes me upset at the thought of being an old woman and having to deal with this. I'm upset that this is stuff that I have to think about. I don't want to have to deal with this. And Im majorly upset with how I think i got this. I was messed up back in my teen years and taken advantage of. There was a rumor that the guy had herpes, I got an STD test done but everything came back negative. I asked for them to test for herpes. But it wasn't 4 months after the incident. I'm just upset..,,, if you can't tell

I woke up over the weekend to a painful urethra and 2 bumps on my labia that were kind of itchy. It progressed to 6 bumps and a very very painful urethra by Tuesday when I went to see my OB. She took a look and I asked if it was herpes and she said it looks like it. So she swabbed a sore and took some blood and now I wait. I truly have no idea how this is happening right now. I just had a baby 6 weeks ago. I have been with my SO for 2.5 years and I know he didn't cheat and give it to me. Before him I was with someone for 7 years and I know I didn't get it from him either. So could this have really layed dormant in me for over 8 years with not even a clue. I really don't get it. Im in complete denial and think the hospital gave it to me when I had my son. It just doesn't make since.
