  1. @stillstanding & @Dave thank you for your comments and your advice. It has been about a month since my diagnosis and I am still struggling to understand everything it seems so overwhelming to me. I have read the books on disclosure but I am still having a hard time thinking about having that conversation I feel dating is hard enough and people are so shallow that I could never think of disclosing to someone and have them not judge me but therefore if they would judge me they would not be the right person anyway. Has anyone had to disclose and how do you bring it up at first do disclose right away before you become serious or wait until you develop a trust with that person. Thank you so much for allowing me to ask questions and not judging I do believe H opportunity is an opportunity for us to get acquainted with people with similarities and obviously you all understand better than the General Public. So thank you again it means a lot to know that I am not alone!!!
  2. @corlissa I'm so so sorry about your situation getting age is horrible and itself and to have it be a result of a sexual assault I cannot imagine what you are going through. I am so sorry and please know you are never judged by anyone on this website and it will be okay we will get through this!! My initial outbreak was not too bad. I did go on Valtrex and it helped tremendously I believe that help take away some of the intensity of the pain and symptoms. I have been reading that your first outbreak is the worst I have only had one. I am not on Valtrex any longer but I believe I am going to talk to my gynecologist about going back on it prophylactically that seems to reduce outbreaks and intensity of symptoms. I hope you find comfort in this post and know that you are not alone!! Anytime you want to talk feel free to email me!! This does not define us!!! I know it's a tough pill to swallow!! I'm still struggling!!! But we'll make it, you're not alone hun!!!
  3. tt88 thank you for posting your success story, he sounds amazing, and thank you and tons of props to you for being strong and awesome for disclosing you give me hope, I will one day find an amazing man!!! Thank you again, and I'm sincerely so happy for you!! I've kinda halted dating since my diagnosis and I did have unprotected sex w a guy whom I was seeing before I was diagnosed, but I didn't have an outbreak and was currently on valtrex, he hasn't been ill at all the I know of, and I did disclose to him, he got tested and negative. However he no longer speaks to me, just goes to show he wasn't for me. I pray your happiness and luck continues, so happy for you!!
  4. Thank you @optimist !!! I'd like to give myself more credit than to be with someone who would withhold this information, sincerely thank you I have not been able to research the topic much since my diagnosis. So I appreciate everything everyone has to offer on this site!!! Hopefully I will have some time to research before work today. Thank you again and have a good day!!!
  5. @stillstanding , thank you for the apology, yes I understand the struggle and I too am still struggling as its so new. I am mostly mad that someone didn't have enough balls to tell me and give me a choice...I know this next statement is so wrong but I figured if he didn't care about not telling me, why should I care about telling him..I realize that's not the answer but, I too am struggling. I don't understand how a person could knowingly do that to someone, but I also thought I was ok bc no ob, and I was on valtrex....this has turned my world upside down and I'm struggling to now accept myself, so I understand your struggle and appreciate the apology. Have a great day, we will be ok!!!!
  6. Thank you kaitidid and whymegirl, your responses and advice help alot!!! I have not gotten a chance to look at any handouts on here, but I definitely will when I get done working. The encounter was Friday. Thank your again for being supportive!!!
  7. I haven't seen any listings for Wisconsin? I'll take a look on google too, and share anything I find as well. Thanks
  8. My herpes culture came back + , I'm on Valtrex, and currently NO outbreak. I stupidly had unprotected sex ( totally unplanned) how likely is it that I passed it on to my partner? thank you, for understanding and not judging, I did not know how to bring it up, and didnt't plan on having sex with him, at all.
  9. Thank you!! It was a gential outbreak, it's been a pretty rough 2 wks with trying to deal with it and familiarize myself with the diagnosis. However, this site has been wonderful with answering my questions !!!so, sincerely thank you again for everyone's input it helps to know you are not alone!!!!
  10. Hello everyone, First I would like to say thank you for sharing your stories in this group. It has really helped me with my recent diagnosis. However I am very confused on some things, I have not had a follow-up appointment from my ER visit. I am on Valtrex I was diagnosed with HSV-1 so does that mean I have oral herpes and I can pass this on by kissing someone? I feel I am a walking cautious bomb...who is incapable of being loved
