I had a full STD panel of tests completed last week and was told this week that everything came back negative except for HSV 1 and 2. I have never experienced an outbreak - ever, not even a cold sore. I am feeling so lost at the moment and in disbelief that this has happened to me. Could the tests be wrong? I have recently started dating someone almost two months ago. We have not been intimate, but I felt as though I needed to tell him. From everything that I am reading there is no guarantee that I will never transmit it to him regardless of not having an outbreak. I have asked him to check for a full STD panel himself. Is it selfish of me to wish he was a carrier as well? It seems like there could be a lot of people that are out there and don't know that they have it, like me. I feel so alone, ashamed and don't know what to do. I know that this can possibly make me go into depression. I'm almost 38, single and would like to start a family. I feel as though I may have met someone that I could really fall for. And I know the guy is in shock as well and doesn't know what to do himself. We are still having a date tonight, but I don't know how he will feel after seeing me as I haven't seen him since telling him.
