Well, lets start with i've lived with herpes sence 2006,i was diagnosed 6/6/06, im begining to think that was the day my life ended, and my new challenging life started.  

well, i should start with, i was having a friendship with a man for 3 years, just a sexual friendship, no feelings or emotions, for 3 years, we never used protection, and well, he stopped over 1 night and you know trusting him, he never gave me anything before, i had unprotected sex with him, and after all was said and done, laying in bed,cuddling, he looked at me and said by the way i think i have something, i didn't know what to think or to say or do, so im i told him alright i'll go get tested if i feel something odd, he said alright, so for 3 days everything was good, and well, then the 4th morning, yeah, that very much changed, when i went to go pee, it felt like i was peeing razorblades, i cryed every time i went to the bathroom, so i called up my ob/gyn doctor, and told her what was going on and she told me to come in right away to get tested, yup, he gave me herpes, the first thing i asked the doctor after she told me my results was "so when do i come in and get this taken care of?", she told me there is no cure, my heart was racing, i could barely think straight, i was so upset, she told me that i could go get some pills and it will help heal the sores i got, and then she told me she had to refer me to the county nurse,she answered all my questions, but then after leaving her office, i went to go find my friend, and i told him what he had and what he gave me, he told me no way, i didnt give that to you, needless to say, i almost ran him over with my car, we havent talked scence.... a couple of months went by and i had to start taking acyclovir everyday, as daily treatment, because i had 6 outbreaks in 8 months, then, i met the man i want to spend the rest of my life with, only thing, he doesnt have herpes, and well, it was challenging trying to explain what i had, he took the news pretty good, he said we have to be careful, yet to this day we haven't had a scare of me infecting him, he's still herpes free, so you can have a healthy sex life, just use caution, it is possible, and no, it's not the end of the world, its just a new life challenge .... anyways, i'll write more later, im still pretty new to this site, so i think im going to explore it more...
