So far I’ve disclosed to a couple people. These men have actually been pretty cool about it all. But now I’ve been seeing this guy and he’s leaving me super confused. He perused me by giving me his number and taking me out here and there. One night we had a few drinks and he asked me to come up to his apartment, so I agreed. Of course things got hot and heavy so I disclosed. He wasn’t thrilled about it and asked some questions. We still had protected sex. The twist is that this was about 3 weeks ago or more. We’ve seen each other a good amount and I’ve tried to hook up with him again. He told me that he doesn’t want to because he started noticing he has feelings for me and wants to take things slow now. I think this is nice, but it also seems weird. He keeps telling me it’s not because of my h, but I’m getting super insecure about it now. I just don’t know why he would want to continue to see me and kiss me all the time if it was because of my h. But also I don’t understand why if we’ve already hooked up, why he doesn’t want to again right now. Has anyone had similar experiences? I’m just feeling really bad about it.

Hi there, I have common prodome symptoms as well. Mine is more of a burning and uncomfortableness. Honestly nothing I’ve tried has worked 100%. I would say I noticed the biggest difference when I changed my diet about 6 days ago. Best diet information I’ve learned: Don’t eat nuts or anything containing nuts of any kind. Apparently viruses live off that stuff. Also, cutting out as much added sugar as you can. Viruses also feed off that. Foods with a high Lysine to Arginine ratio are good. Whole grains instead of white also helps. I’m sorry you’re feeling bad. I know it really sucks. I keep trying to tell myself my body is just adjusting and soon it will be better. Stay strong, we are here for you.

Hmm, those symptoms are odd for herpes. Do you have GHSV-1 or GHSV-2 and how did you catch herpes (oral, anal, or vaginal/penile)? I ask because often times herpes is not the only bug that hops along for the ride. It is human nature to often forget that several things can happen at once and individuals at times attribute all of there symptoms to herpes, when in fact they are co-infected. Hi Jack101, I have HSV-1, gentital. Like most, I can’t be 100% when/how I got it. All I know is that it popped up about 5 days after having a one night stand, unprotected. He did perform oral on me, and in my theory, I think had HSV-1 oral. I came up with this because the breakout was predominantly on my clitoris. (Little white dots) I recall that night he was super focus on that area and even at one point made me jump because it sort of hurt, whatever he was doing. Therefore my theory is that my skin had broken open at that time and therefore allowing the virus in extremely easy. But, this is all a theory and the thurth is I’ll never really know. Which as someone who loves having a solid answer to everything, is really tough for me. Also I have been back to the gyno another time since and no traces of anything else “along for the ride” as you mentioned. I thought that could be the case as well. Thanks for the feedback so far everyone else. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one with these symptoms. I also use tea tree! It definitely helps! I’ve also noticed this diet change has helped a bit. I’m waiting for my period this month to actually see if the diet is improving my state. I seem to have the burning way more when it’s my time of the month. Which to my understanding is common.@SPATX919, do you notice any change during your period time?

Hi everyone, This is my first post. I am at a loss for information at this point. It seems like no matter how much research I do I can still not figure this out. I was given the news about 4 months ago after a one night stand. I’ve only had one outbreak so far but I keep having pain, like a burning sensation, off and on. Mostly on. I stopped taking my antiviral after reading all the negative side effects and am trying to use my diet as my antiviral now. The burning has actually been better since the diet change, but still has not gone away. Does anyone else experience this? I am at a loss of what to do. I just want to move on with my life and feel healthy again!
