Waking up in the morning and feeling a burning sensation as I urinated. Hmm. Flashbacks screaming in my mind of the unprotected sex I had enjoyed a week earlier. A trip to the all knowing doctor cleared me of Gonnorhea and Chlamydia. Yeepee. I was in the clear.

Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 08:24 PMlet me ask you something, but first I think you should be a writer you sound talented.
so now my question, do you think you got herpes when she had an outbreak?
do you think that without an outbreak you can easily pass the herpes to your partner?
I heard so many stories, and the doctor herself told me I can pass the herpes to my boyfriend only when I have an outbreak. I still didn't hear anybody saying I got infected with herpes while using protection.
thank you if you have time to reply to me

Sunday, June 15, 2008 at 07:59 AMHey frida...
Well, I am not a Dr, but yes, you can pass on the virus whilst not having an outbreak. I don't believe the girl I got it off would have been having an outbreak at the time (or if she did, she would not have been aware that it ws herpes). My doctor told me there is only about a week or so out of every year where you will be shedding the virus without showing symptoms. SO obviously this means it is possible to pass it on when symptoms not present... Of course when you hear its only a week every year, the chances seem very slim of passing it on.... but how the hell can you know when that week is??? You cant. Just use protection!

Sunday, June 15, 2008 at 10:55 PMthx...wish I knew when that week is. things would be so much easier. I still can't tell the person I am seeing for the past 2 months that I am infected-and I feel terrible about it( he likes me a lot and I know for fact he would not want to see me anymore if he has to find out-he doesn't even touches the chairs in the subways, for anything suspicious on his skin like a simple rash he runs to the doctor, SO IMAGINE ???!!!!! We are rarely intimate because I am keeping him away even though we are using all the time protection. He insists it's time to be intimate without protection but I just can't do it. Although I was intimate with my exes and not using any protection before and never passing the virus to any of them for the last 7 years suddenly this year I realized that this is not a joke and it's making me so depressed sometimes. I don't want to lose him and also to hurt him. this is NOT EASY....it's Sunday night and I am not with him today just because I found excuses and pretended I am busy....so hard!!!!!!!!

Thursday, June 26, 2008 at 02:11 PMI think when the doctor said there was about a week of viral shedding, he or she probably meant an accumulated week over the course of the year, not seven consecutive days once a year. My understanding is that, although it can occur at any time, asymptomatic shedding most often happens just before and/or after an outbreak.

Thank you for your post.

Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 10:37 PMI sometimes feel so tainted. I've had a couple of relationships since finding out two years ago. There feelings for me were sincere, but I still can't shake the feeling of being tainted. It's tough because I know that if I carry myself as if I feel "tainted" than that is what others will think of me.
I was 21 years old when I found out. The worst part of it for me is having the "conversation", and possibly having all of your fears mirrored back to you in the other persons face. I'll be 25 this year, and there are still so many of those conversations to have ahead. I'm thankful that it wasn't something worse, but I can't help fearing the possibility of being alone. Women already outnumber men, there are plenty of women who don't have herpes. Now I feel like I have to have that much more to offer, like I just can't be me. I've never felt like I was in a competition with the world until now.

Sunday, June 29, 2008 at 03:41 AMHi Iago! I'm a senior in a university. I just had an intercourse with my boyfriend lastweek. So sad, today I found out sores on my *** (u know) multiply into greater numbers. I feel so dirty. And I began to hate my boyfriend by acquiring this infection. I have to see a doctor tomorrow for this. I feel so guilty to my parents with this sickness. But after I read your post, well it encouraged me to think positive.
