I Herpes
A week ago I went to the doctor to have him tell me I have herpes .I guess I have both (hsv1) and (hsv2). my boyfriend was just outside and I told him to go inside and hear what's going on, thought it would be easier then having to explain myself later. Since then everything has been falling apart. he's afraid that he might get it passed to him by doing stuff with me. sex is whatever to us. but to him not even being able to kiss me is what scares him off. I'm scared, confused, frustrated, in disbelieve, mad, just pretty much everything negative. I'm losing the love of my life because of this. I'm 20 year woman. I've always lived my life happy and fun. but with this I am so lost. what can I do to be so devastated.
if you had herpes blood testing done, get the results to post here so I can best help you - e.g. hsv1 igg 7.8 and hsv2 igg 6.9 or whatever your results are.
A pap smear doesn't provide reliable results regarding herpes, so the results came from the blood test. Antibodies are in the blood throughout the entire body, not just the area of infection, and these antibodies fight and prevent the virus from being spread to other parts of the body.
Most of the adult population carries HSV-1 (50-90%), and many are infected with it by childhood through an innocent kiss by a relative. It's likely that your boyfriend has HSV-1 as well.
Your boyfriend and you, if you haven't already, need to be tested for both HSV-1 and HSV-2. Get a type specific IgG blood test, not an IgM.

well I went in to have my yearly pap smear and asked if I can get tested for anything and everything. they took a lot of blood. don't remember which way he was able to tell. either my blood or down there. mostly likely down there. and the moment I was told I had that, we had him checked by the doc. were still waiting on results.
Thank you so much. it does suck. like I feel alone and lost.and im sorry to hear that. he actually broke off with me and then the next day today me he was sorry that we will get thru it. that he cant live without me. but it is hard. I feel like I cant do anything. but I know this is the begging. im starting to understand that im alive I should be thankful for the things I do have. just a step at a time:).
what testing did you have done?
was your partner tested yet to know his status?
