  1. @Dave - thank you. I've read a lot of info related to what you've said about often people may not know they have it (for years!). Thanks for the video, much appreciated.
  2. @Bambina3 - that's my conclusion from all I've read too.
  3. @HikingGirl - thank you, your post really helped so much - appreciate it very much!
  4. @optimist - thank you, thats what I thought. I'm going to insist he has a blood test!
  5. Thought I'd post an update on my first week since finding out I have H. After a very tearful 2 days I finally got the courage to let the ex know (who had been asking to see me again). I did it via text which I know many may think is not the right way to go about it, but our communication was always mostly via messages (and honestly, I had to get it off my chest as quickly as I could; and I just didn't have the strength to do it face to face). It was agonising waiting for a reply. His response was initially "wtf", "you definitely didn't get it from me!", "I've been faithful", and then progressed to "I don't want to loose you over this" and "I miss you". I don't think he fully understood what I was telling him (which is understandable as it takes a bit of time) - or what H really means - I think he thought it was an infection which I'd take meds for and happily move along. I've tried to be clear and give him all info I can but I'm still not sure he fully grasps it. And he doesn't realise that its highly likely he could have given it to me! The possibility that he may not have H has been really difficult to cope with - cause there is that possibility! And then, how I deal with that. He's since agreed to have a urine test, which I'm not convinced is accurate enough if he's not showing any symptoms. I'm waiting for my GP to get back to me with advice (if anyone here can advise please do!). We saw each other yesterday, and had protected sex. Him knowing my status and still wanting to be intimate was a huge step forward in this journey but I'm still feeling very unsure and confused. So, I'm waiting for his results.... Thank you again to everyone who has shared on this forum - so helpful and reassuring. Fran.
  6. Hi All I found out I have H2 late yesterday and have been in tears ever since. I've always been careful and responsible, and at 36, unmarried and seeking a long lasting relationship - this has been a severe blow. My story isn't unique: Met a guy on Tinder 6 months ago and we had been seeing each other regularly since - albeit not a very serious relationship. He ended it abruptly beginning of December, via text (and blocked me on Facebook and Whatsapp). Only to get back in touch via Facebook on Christmas Day and we've been talking a little. I noticed a sore on NY eve so went to my GP to have it checked and its H2 (swab and blood test). I just don't know how to let the ex know - we really only communicate via messages (and haven't had much to say to each other - his excuse for ending it so abruptly was that he was falling in love and freaked out!). I know I have to inform him. I'm quite certain it was him who passed it on to me but then after reading so much info online - it could have been someone else or I could have carried it for years so the self-doubt is insane and making me feel worse. I just don't know how to do this! My GP said it was highly likely to be the ex, given that I've never had symptoms before. If anyone has advice or has had a similar experience - your insight would be so helpful. Thank you to everyone who has posted stories and advice - its reassuring and comforting to know I'm not alone and that life can go on :-)
  7. Thank you for posting your story, helped me a lot!
