Just diagnosed. Where to go from here?
Just diagnosed with 1&2. Already knew about 1. Western Blot, so it's official. I'm just crushed right now. I haven't had any symptoms.
The reason I went to get tested is because I broke up with my ex a few months ago and it had been even longer since we had sex. He swore he never cheated but then texted me one day saying that he had an outbreak.
At first I thought he was just being a jerk bc he had driven by my house and saw a car he didn't recognize but I went to get tested anyways to be on the safe side.
Now I know that not only was he a drug addict, but he cheated on me and I have to live with the proof. I had a clean test 6 months into our relationships. A false positive igg test but negative for 2 on the western blot done for confirmation. Now two years later I have it.
I have been dating a wonderful man and he knows what's going on. Now I have to tell him I'm positive. I feel horrible. I just want to cry.
I don't know how to tell him. I'm waiting for him to come over. He knows somethings up and I told him my dr office just called.
What do I do? How do I not feel so awful?

I'm praying for you and him. I say just give him time. The waiting period will always be the worst, but I think he respects you more because you told him. I just found out today I am positive for hsv2 and I had no outbreaks or symptoms. I went with my brother bc his partner found out she was positive. Crazy. I was just thinking "How will I tell someone I'm really interested in I have hsv 2??" I didn't even tell my brother :(
Thank you. I am encouraging him to do his own research like I have. He said he wants to but I know right now everything is still sinking in. I am hoping once the shock wears off that we can work this out together.
Sorry to hear that. You can have him always have him come here. We will be happy to help in any way we can.
Sorry, yes hsv2 was confirmed by western blot.
It's been 2 months since I broke up with my ex but it's been over 3 since we had sex. I have had no symptoms. He was a drug addict and I also found out he was posting ads on Craigslist in the casual encounters section. so I'm pretty sure it came from him considering I had a clean western blot 4 months after we started dating. And we were (on my part) monogamous for almost 2 years. .
I'm freaking out a little right now. I had to tell the guy I'm currently dating last night. He's going to get tested as soon as he can, but he doesn't know much about herpes in general so he's a little freaked out. I tried to reassure him as best I could but I'm just not sure he is going to stick around. I'm going to get on suppressive meds now in case he doesn't have it. He says he doesn't want to lose me and he loves me, but he also couldn't tell me he will stay with me if he doesn't have it. He just said there's no point in worrying about any of it until he gets tested. He didn't say he would leave me if I have it and he doesn't, just that he wants to do his own research. I tried to point out some places to go, but he really didn't want to talk about it last night. I just feel so sad right now.
