It was the first time I had sex with this person. He told me he had it but had never given it to someone. I guess I did not fully understand the risk, as I did not think I would get it so easily. I really liked the guy but we had only known each other short time. We only had sex the one time before I had to leave for a work trip. I got it day 3 of the work trip. I'm a 40 year-old attractive person. I've never been married. I feel my world has turned upside down. I would like to find a long term relationship but I worry it may never happen now.

Thank you for this information. Since two months ago, my symptoms have not completely gone away. I know longer have blisters but I have been inflamed and had little bumps all up my buttcrack (gross). They have been there almost continuously. So I assume it is still herpes? I have decided maybe I need to go on the antivirals for a year and abstain from dating til at least a year til I figure this out. However, I have been taking the antivirals almost the whole time and still have these symptoms. I hope they go away eventually! I can't ride a bike or be as active as I would like either. I know a lot of people have few symptoms at all and am frustrated that I am one of the unfortunate people that seem to have a lot of symptoms.

Hello- I contracted herpes2 2 months ago from someone that I knew had herpes. The person convinced me that there was a very low chance of transmittance. We only had sex once. We used a condom. He had no sign of an outbreak. I got my frist herpes outbreak 3 days later. I am now very concerned about passing this to others. The statistics suggest that the chance of getting it from one encounter are extremely low, but I contracted. it from one encounter using a condom.
