So I've had HSV2 for 3 years now. I've been lucky and every guy I've disclosed to has accepted it and still wanted to have an intimate relationship with me. Recently I'm at the cusp of having a casual relationship with a person I've known for about a year, so went to the doctors today to get a course of daily suppressants that I've read so much using this forum and other sites. But apparently they don't do this in the UK! I knew there are side effects but didn't think much of this since I was thinking this wouldn't be a long term thing with the man in question. The doctor said they don't prescribe it for taking everyday just for outbreaks because of the side effects. She said I'd have to have regular blood tests if I was on it daily. So now I feel like I've lost one of my weapons when I disclose to people :( The rate of transmission is always going to be higher now. Just needed to rant to you guys cos I'm feelinglis down now. I'm pretty much over the stigma of having herpes but this was a very annoying blow and now I'm going to have to let my potential partner know and give him the option to re-think things
