Anyone else diagnosed late in life?

Nope. Never tested. Actually, I assumed H was part of the STD panel offered by my GYN - so I THOUGHT I had been tested. This has been an educational experience.

I was never tested until I thought I got hsv2 from a towel my friend had used that has hsv2. I think when your young your immature and in some ways stupid in your way of thinking.i was young and I was stupid in my way of thinking about the world. I really wish they could come up with with a cure for this awful disease.take care Sarah

Me too. Or at least a vaccine. I’m glad you’re all clear though!

SO glad I found this thread. If anyone is still following... I'm trying to solve the mystery of how HSV could have been dormant for so long.  I am starting to have early menopause symptoms and was pregnant 4 and 6 years ago- so lots of hormone changes!

Did anyone else notice a connection between hormones and HSV suddenly coming out after being dormant for so long?
