So... just found out it's HSV1. Now to research the difference... urgh. I think im getting myself way to worked up over this than I need to...

Don't you find some of what you read contradictory though? This is why I wanted to find people who are going through the same thing. Instead of misleading information from "health professionals"

Oh I'm sorry to hear that!! Do you know if you have type 1 or 2? I'm still waiting to find out... still doing my homework on the whole thing so not quite up to speed on how the whole process works. I was given a not very informative leaflet so having to research everything myself... it's grim

Hi. It's awful isn't it. I just feel so embarrassed. It was just over a week but the worst of it lasted around four days. How are you finding it?

Hi guys I'm new to all this so please bare with me. I was diagnosed a week ago and have just recovered from my first outbreak which was the most horrendous experience of my life. My sores have cleared up and just have a mild itch down below now. But I am terrified to ever get intimate with my partner again. I really don't want to have to go through this again and I have no one to talk to as I am a very private person. I just need reassuring that things will get better. Thank you for reading. Lauren
