Hi, all. 31-yr-old F. Just got my blood results today, positive for HSV1 (3. something) & HSV2 (4. something). I have an appt with my gyno on Wed. so I can get advice on the best treatment for myself going forward. I've already discussed things with my current bf (of almost 3 yrs). He doesn't seem angry but didn't have a lot to say. I read that he will need time to process, as well. I invited him to the gyno appt. He didn't say yes or no. But he did ask me to write down the address for a very informative website I found. It's herpes.org.nz in case anybody wants to know. It made me feel a lot better about possible transmission to my 5-yr-old. Best of luck to everyone here, thanks for the support.
Hugs and welcome, I know this is a rough transition, but it sounds like you are processing it all well.
