  1. On the tests I took, my score is considered low and I have never had any symptom, so it might be a false positive. I am planning to take the Western Blot Test which will determine with certainty whether or not I have HSV2.
  2. carlos, your entire post lifted me out of the funk I was in. I really needed to hear that. Thank you so much.
  3. "AND, yes (to be fair) there are people in that sea who might reject herpes (note: Not rejecting you, rejecting herpes.) But that's the nature of the dating game anyway ... you can get rejected for any number of things and accepted for any number of things, too." That really made me think. People can reject the virus and the possibility of catching it while being with you, but it is not necessarily a rejection of you as a person. I really needed to hear that. Thank you, H_Opp.
  4. I have issues with the claim that 48% of black women 14-49 year old have HSV2. Please check out this link which sheds light on that CDC "study": http://www.alumniroundup.com/2010/10/black-america-allows-the-cdc-to-stack-herpes-numbers-the-truth-behind-the-statistics/
  5. Thanks, Iris4, that was really a wonderful and thought provoking post to read. Food for thought.
  6. Thanks, H_Opp. The thing is, I was always cautious but I guess not enough. I am recently divorced from a 11 year relationship. My ex had oral herpes and frequent outbreaks of it at the beginning of our relationship, which is probably how I unknowingly caught both genital and oral H. We just assumed I was safe when he didn't have outbreaks. His outbreaks became less when he cleaned up his diet and in the last years of our relationship, he probably had an outbreak once a year if at all... I have never had an outbreak, so I never had a clue that I was infected. It is hard for me. I just don't know how much more careful I am supposed to be. I don't know how to deal with relationships anymore. I don't want to have a "conversation" with potential partners and risk rejection, so I guess I will have to date people from Herpes dating sites. I work in the natural health field, so I will not be doing the usual suppressive therapy, though I will try to find alternative natural ones. Thank you all for listening. Yes, I am still grieving the loss of what I thought was my sexual purity and cleanliness. I will be okay. I am determine to love myself regardless, and some days are better than others, some nights are better than others.
  7. So that means I have to use condoms for the rest of my sexual life? Just the thought of it makes me want to be celibate forever. Hi, I am new, I have been recently diagnosed through a routine std test, and I am asymptomatic. Never had an outbreak.
