I know the feeling .. the way I found out was, I had a full blown outbreak the sore throats headache painful sores couldn't walk for 2 weeksout of nowhere you would have thought I caught it recently right ?? I blamed it on the only guy I was sleeping with for the past couple months and it wasent him if it was a past partner it took 4 months for the outbreak to happen , when I got tested I already had antibodies for it so I won't truly know who gave it to me but boy do I have an idea, I think I would have rather found out your way, just be happy you didn't go though a full blown outbreak like I did , i wish i could blow somebody spot up but I really can't , oh well

Wow so you have hsv 1 genitally ? If it makes you feel better that's the strain everyone has. My doctor said it, everybody have 1 we pick it up as kids my mom got cold sores when I was younger she probably gave me hsv 1 I just found out about 3 years ago cold sores is herpes I bought cold sores is something everybody get like a natural skin condition or something, I was depressed cus I had already knew hsv 2 was the std and find out out about that out of the blue with a full blown outbreak is so frustrating

My situation is similar to yours , i guy I had sex with last year was very promiscuous and even was a "exotic" dancer I believe he gave it to me but the catch is I got the outbreak almost a year later i did sleep w another person from my past after that but I believe it's him , if it happened to me in a way where I know exactly who gave it to me then i would definitely say something, like if he lie about not having herpes , you can just straight up say well until you show proof Ima just assume you have it and you know it. I made my ex get tested for it and he didn't have it once I saw the paperwork with the negative result with his name hospital name medical number with my 2 eyeballs somebody that knows they don't have anything or at least think in their heart they don't have it will simply go get tested for it point blank period

It sound like a yeast infection , when I got my first yeast infection my vagina was red and irritated and my Anus area , but my outbreak was a like lesions on both sides of my clitorous oozing scanning over so it could be anything I guess

Thank youuuuuu!!!! That's all I'm saying , I asked the doctor why they don't test for it , one of the reasons she said because they don't like to tramatize patients if it's positive and also that the testing it not that accurate and it's not a problem if they don't know , but I think it's stupid because they can be spreading it and not knowing

Wow did u have a full on outbreak or you just found out through a random test ?

Because I got the flu like symptoms the worse one it kind of makes me think I caught it recently at least in the past year But I just wish somebody would have told me you can get herpes with a condom and no symptoms, wish I had more education on it , but I'm a strong believer in everything happens for a reason so I'm pretty much over my past now, everything could be much worse we could Of got HIV . But yes biancak did u get the outbreak months/ years after you could have possibly caught it ?

So I got the outbreak from hell in April and my ex was the only man I was with from when 2017 started, my last different partner was in the middle of December of 2016 , he was a guy I worked w. We had sex 3 times in the beginning of 2016 then the summer and then December 2016 something tells me it was him but I'm scarred to ask him and out myself out there because I went hard on my ex and he didn't even have it, I wanna ask him but idk, I get mad when I think about the pain I went through and having to go to my local pharmacy to pick up valtrex and miss work and school for 2 weeks and having nobody to blame that's pissee me off the most because I feel like they knew they had it , part of it I blame myself thinking I was invincible , I wasent being a whore but I feel like I should have took it more easy like I use to always do, i guess for some reason w the 5 ppl I slept w in 2016 I trusted them for some reason even though we were using condoms but I do have a feeling I know where it came from one of the guys I slept w that was a onetime thing I met him in a club and I thought he was gorgeous one of best looking guys I ever seen, so we texted for about a week and a half and I went to his house not even planning to have sex but I made sure I was shaved just in case, we talking for hours and watched tv then he started to kiss me then he started to touch me and I said no let's just chill then he pressured me into he kept kissing me and turning me on to the point I couldn't stop I gave in he told me to rub his penis on my clit before he put the condom and we had sex I did it not thinking. Nothing of it and probably told me to do that cus he knew he had it I pray that's not why he told me to that for those reasons because as I look back he was the most skin contact I had with down there and plus he was shaved I don't even talk to him anymore because he turned out to be weird and very promiscuous Bottom line is I wanna ask him matter fact tell him I know what you have it's not fair somebody can just get away with this Scott free, sometimes I wanna kill his cocky attitude and confidence like he did mine and let him know I know your secret just because he purposely tries to give it to me and the hell I went through for those 2 weeks and the past 7 months but idk how cause it's been over a year and a half since that one time encounter. But the. Who knows I probably had it before him , I swear life is not fair ..

I'm about 99.9% sure I got hsv 2 w a condom, when I did got my first initial and worse outbreak months possibly years after I caught it I got 2 lesions one on each side of my labia , does that mean the inside of my vagina is infected as well even though I didn't get the lesions inside of my vagina , like I know herpes is not orignally coming from semen or vaginal fluids only if a lesion was present inside but is it only the areas I got the lesions is contagious ?

I guess it depends on where the areas infected because I believe I had hsv1 before I even met my ex of four years and I never gave it to him orally or genital I know when I did get a cold sore it wasent on my lips but close to my nose maybe that's why

It's crazy to me cause I never had a std before I always used condoms and be careful ,I know tons of friends that sleep around w no condoms at all and get nothing !! I only know 2 personal friends that's both got clauymidia and the other had claumydia and gonnorhea back then I was just like eww that's what happen when u don't use a condom then i do the right thing and catch something incurable and nasty as well , am I the only one that feel this way

Hello everyone, I been lurking on this site for about 7 months since my diagnosis, my story is a little long but I'm going to make it as short as possible, I'm a 22 year old single female , So when 2017 started I started to live my life different I was losing weight doing really good in school eating better pretty working on my self as a whole even kicked the year off w. A nice little vacation. I wasent seeing anyone but my ex I been off and on w for 4 years, we had sex in the very beginning in January then I had not seen him for months again till the very beginning of April.. Little back drop on me, I was always safe and always used condoms w all my partners especially a new partner even w my ex Little history of my ex , he was a lying cheating scumbag but I just still had sex w him anyway , to me that's what it was all about.. so I'm here living life having fun doing 21 year old things I was happy to finally be doing like clubbing drinking hookah and etc , so we had sex in early April and about 2-3 days later I got a pain in my vagina and first thought was I was getting a yeast infection had plenty of them in the past this is nothing new , went to the doctor and she said it look like a bacterial infection and prescribed me antibiotics so I go home and started taking them like nothing then the pain wasent going away over the next two days so I go back and the first day I did go I got my blood drawn for stds when I came back I saw a different doctor she told me I have to take a couple days for the medicine to work and I said I really thinks it's yeast , so she pulled up my lab results and started going through the list hiv negative gonorea claumydia negative syphillis negative , then.... she said did y'all talk about herpes ? And I yelled NOO why??? Then she said you have it and I said which one because I believe I had a cold sore before yhen she said both Immediately I went into shock like my soul left my body, I cried in front of her she consoled me she was a really nice doctor she told me I'll tel you a little secret and she said she had it to she don't even know which one she has down there I told her she was lying just trying to make me feel better then when she told me her story it was believable, so she prescribe the valtrex then she said a igm test will tell if it's recent or old so me not knowing about this stuff I go home and wait for the ohm test the following Monday and go back to find out the igm for 2 was positive and negative for 1 both positive for igg, didn't know anything about antibodies taking time to build , so I called my ex cursing him out and crying and yelling tell him what he did to me , and to be clear I got the full on outbreak sore throats flu like symptoms the ooozing lesions that scab over couldn't walk for 2 weeks , my ex wasent supportive at all , but he said he will go get tested so about a week later he calls and send me his test results NEGATIVE for BOTH!!!! I couldn't believe it especially coming from a dog like him . My last different partner was in the middle of December w a condom of course so it talk 4 months if it was him for the outbreaks to happen, I can do nothing but blame myself cause I was careful but not enough , I always thought herpes was spread I'd only a lesion was present or through semen like if you have unprotected sex I didn't know anything about asymptomayic shedding I have about 5 partners in 2016 2 of the new and 3 of them old and 1 out of 1 of them was a 1 time thing , I was suicidal back then but now I'm past that, I just feel like it's a mystery that will never be solved , sometimes I believe god let this happen for me to change my ways but I will never truly know who gave it to me because most of y'all either get the outbreaks within the incubation period or was tested for it at some point in time , I get tested every year for hiv and stds and didn't know I was never tested for herpes
