So I have HSV2, I was wondering the chances of spreading the virus in different situations. Say if I got oral what are the chances of my partner getting it? If I gave oral would I spread HSV2 to them? Obviously sex should be used with a condom since I know genital to genital contact has very high chances of spreading. How can I make possible partners feel more comfortable about having sexual interactions with me? Thanks!

So I've had HSV2 for about 9 months, I'm single from my sons father, the man who gave it to me, and I fear I will never be able to enjoy sex again. I know sex isn't really necessary, but a month before I had my son I had just lost my virginity. So I'm interested in meeting other people, not casual sex, that's just not me. I'm more of the old fashioned relationship type haha. I just need some advice. Some days I'm confident and feel like, "Oh, I'll find someone!" then at other times I feel like "Man, I'm gonna be single for the rest of my life, and raise my son alone." I'm a beautiful person and I should be grateful that I don't have anything worse than what I have contracted but some days I just have a hard time dealing with it. Thanks for reading guys, looking forward to comments

Hey there guys n gals! I'm 22 found out I had hsv2 about 7 months ago. I live in saint Louis MO I'm in need of a buddy!! Doesn't matter the gender, I'm a pretty outgoing person. Just wanna talk to someone about what we have and maybe learn to be more optimistic about living with it. I also have no problem giving advice or just shutting up and listening! Inbox me!!!

My sons due date was September 28th but he was born October 3rd haha.

Thank you so much Becky! Yeah it's still an up and down battle but I can't feel sorry for myself all of the time. It's very common and most people don't even know they have it! I have faith that I will find someone who will accept me for me but until then, I'll just work on what I need to work on for me and the right person will come along. Yeah, my son is the greatest! He was the greatest thing that came out of that relationship. He is such a blessing! When's your nephews bday?

I'm 22 years old and found out about 8 months ago that I have HSV2. I waiting 21 long years to lose my virginity, not because I wanted the dreamy first time. I just wanted it to be right, the way I wanted it to happen, with someone I was comfortable with. I met a guy at a club, I just turned 21 at the time and was juuuuust getting out to having fun. Anywho, I met this guy and lost my virginity within a month of meeting him. My mom says he charmed the pants right off of me. Our first time he tried to "stick it in" without a condom, and an alarm went off in my head, like, "oh no bro, put a jacket on that thing!" So he did and we did the dirty haha. About a few days after that I was feeling pretty gnarly. I became seriously sick, could barely walk because my lymph nodes in my groin were so swollen, and I thought I had strep, my throat was so raw and painful and spotty. I began it itchy something AWFUL down below and began to worry. I immediately thought, "aw man I've got herpes" I was so scared to get tested and was hoping it was just a bacterial infection or something. Well, the pain had gotten so bad I went to the hospital and got a pap done and tested, and sure enough HSV2 had reared its ugly head. On my vulva and cervix. (Sorry for the details) I broke down immediately. I was hysterical, I felt like I was going to die! I thought my life was over. Devastated and panicking my friend hugged me and even the nurse did. I had called my bf and told him and his response was rather, odd. He didn't seem as upset as I was, but then again he's a man. It was the worst moment of my life. I had told my mom and she was disgusted in me. Very upset and hurt. Which is understandable. She was worrie about catching it from the toilet seat! So I had to live with a friend for a while, while I recovered. I was getting so much support from my friends it was unbelievable. Then a month later, BAM!! I'm pregnant. Now I have a beautiful 7 month old son. Had a c section with him. Not because of an outbreak but due to complications. That was a terrifying experience. Then move in with the father, guy who gave me the herp derp, and the skeletons began jumping out of the closet. I mean these skeletons couldn't wait to throw a karma party of his past. Turns out he had lied about his age, he said he was 25, WRONG, he was 31. Found out he had cheated on me, well found "sexy" texts in his phone while I battled post partum depression. Things got physical like 2 weeks after I had our son. Had to get a restraining order. Things went downhill after that. I may have gotten off track there for a little bit. But to sum it up, I was 21, lost my virginity, got herpes, got pregnant, got cheated on, was physically and sexually abused, and now I'm living back home with my mother with my awesome kid. Haha. I still have issues sometimes with having HSV2 but I'm becoming more comfortable. It's so common and the facts are very misconstrued. I know that I will find someone awesome that will accept me for ALL my baggage. I went back to my ex many many many times. I am a very understanding person, so I'm just waiting for my chance to be understood. Btw, I freaking love this forum. All the beautiful stories I get to read, and meet such awesome people. I'm glad I joined because this site helps a lot. Knowing I'm not the only one who got the crappy end of the stick, but also that there's a light at the end of this deep, dark, and very itchy, tunnel. We're in this together, this is my first post and I already feel like family. Any one care to share their story, opinion, advice? I'd love to hear it. And thanks for reading.
