Genital Herpes Online Support Group

I recently told my partner i had herpes. His response was way better then what i thought it wouls have been. I wanted to tell him for a long time now but i didnt know how to tell him nor how he would responsed. he is hurt that i didnt tell him sooner. I feel bad that i keep it from him but im gla i got it off my chest. I just hope that the situation does not change his feelings for me even though he said we going to deal with it together. I need help getting through this because sometimes i feel depressed about having this std. I feel like its no hope for me to be normal and its no need for me to be here anymore

I feel the same way. I had my first (or what i think was my first) breakout about 5 years ago when i was pregnant. i am now married with the man who ive been with for 7 years but im about 99.9% sure i caught this from my ex who was a scum bag and cheated on me. i dont even have any contact with him anymore. we were only together for a year...but now i dont know how to really sit down with my husband and have this conversation. i first started having breakouts and didnt know what it was. i never tested positive and my gyn told me i cut myslef shaving lol. anyway, after about a year i had researched enough to know what it was and i talked to my dr. he started prescribing me famcyclovir and acyclovir. i told my husband but he kinda brushed it off like it wasnt true and i was over reacting. i feel so embarrassed to have this talk with him. i always thought stds were what you got when you were sleeping around. never thought i would have one...especially one that never goes away. im so ashamed...and carrying this secret kills me. when im hurting & uncomfortable i have no one to talk to about it =(

its so true. I would have never thought i would get somethinng that never goes away. im way to young for this. i know got it from a boy that i was really feeling. we was messing with each other on & off for about 2 years. We both found out the same time we had herpes.but he's basically saying i gave it to him which i know i didn't. And the bad thing about it i had a boyfriend. he doesn't have it so i know for sure it was the other boy. i told my boyfriend a few weeks about about me having this std and he was disappointed but still managed to accept it until today. He just can't handel it mentally. So guess were just friends now since we knew each other for so long. It hurts me so bad because i feel like i caused this on myself. i haven't told my mom or family except for my sister and 2 close friends. i feel embarressed to even mention it. Some days i feel depressed as well but i have no one to speak to about it as well. at times i feel like commiting sucide but i know it won't solve the problem at all. it could just cause my family pain and gruief.

Now the only thoughts going though my head is will i ever friennd someone who would accept the fact i have herpes and would i ever become a mother?!

I know just where you are coming from. I have been married for 6 months and just found out that I have it a month ago. I am 32 and she is 22 and was a virgin when we met. I feel horrible that I now have this disease and she has to deal with it. She is still so young and has her whole life ahead of her still. She does not have it thank God

I feel like a failure. I too have concidered the suicide option, but like you I understand that it really is not an option at all and that I would not do that to my wife and family. I saw first hand the devestating impact of losing a child justs 1 year ago last month when we lost my little brother to an accidental heroine overdose. Be strong and know that you are not alone in this.

I have been reading some threads at the herpescoldsores support forum and it has some suggested reading for this very thing. The books state Herpes can be cured using natural vitmains and minerals. The books by Linus Paulling How to live longer and feel better

and Thomas Levy curing the incurable. They suggest that increasing the levels of vitamin C in your diet will eventually kill the parasite and the virus. I am talking about grams of vitamin C a day. OLive Leaf extract and Vitamin D and also Zinc cream for OBs. I am also going to read up on Germanium...
