Worried about finding Valtrex prescription
I noticed recently that my girlfriend has been acting weird - not interested in sex although she was very much so up to this point. We have been seeing each other for a few years, and up till very recently had an active sex life.
After refusing my advances a few weeks ago, she said she was sorry but was having 'female issues'. She ended up going to the OB, but did not offer to speak to me about diagnosis and treatment. I even asked her if she ever got a diagnosis or presription, and she said NO. So the other day, I find a bottle of Valtrex in her car. I Googled it and from what I can tell, it is for treating Herpes! I am totally freaked out now - I think she may have cheated on me, contracted an STD and I do not know how to bring this up with her.
Can anyone give me advice? I am at the point that I want to leave her over this, but don't want to overreact because I love her very much, but am FREAKED out. She may have had this for years and it is just flaring up.

grace,
yes, it is driving me nuts, literally. I have a migraine and have been experencing something akin to heart problems but I think it's stress.I have already gotten the blood work done - just waiting for the results. I may wait until I get them back to talk to her. I have to pick the right time/place/mood, as I don't want this to destroy our relationship. Thanks for the advice. Fingers crossed.

plan it right and you could do both on the same day :)
I think I'd want to talk to her and get it all cleared up as soon as I could but that's just me. I know I"d drive myself nuts until I did.

Thank you for the advice. I agree with you - I need to sit down and have a conversation, and get tested myself. I am wondering if I get tested first, or talk to her first?
First thing I recommend doing is sitting down with her and talking to her. Ask her what has been going on and why she has a prescription for valtrex and never told you. I'd also go and get a baseline herpes igg blood test for hsv1 and hsv2 yourself this week so you have something to compare future test results to too.
