I always said I would never get involved with a co-worker b/c it can get messy. And yet I did. I started sleeping with him in March and got tested in April for everything and it came back negative. Then about 2 weeks ago I had a breakout. Went to the doctors they said they were 90% sure it was herpes. My results came back a week later confirming it. I get the feeling he already knew he had it just by everything he said and he still hasn't got checked almost 2 weeks later. I know I got it from him b/c I haven't been with anybody else in over a year. And now I still have to see and work with him everyday. Is there anybody that takes Valtrex daily for it? Looking for some opinions.. And for anybody that's had it for a while how many outbreaks did you have your 1st year? My 1st outbreak was really bad and I just don't know if I am going to be able to take it..

My boyfriend is the same way. For some reason a lot of "men" think that just because they don't have symptoms of an std, that they don't have one. He is the only one I've slept with in a year and he still thinks I had this before him. Even though my doctor said that she was 99% sure that wasn't the case. He's very open and understanding with me about it but still it gets stressful at times. I was diagnosed in early March and have had 3-4 outbreaks since my first one. Let me tell you the outbreaks you have after the first are WORLDS different. Most of the time I barely even not ie that I'm having one (unless I look. I'm very observant after being diagnosed) and when I do notice I have one it then because more of an annoyance than a physical hurt pain. I'm also 2 months pregnant so my hormone levels are through the roof which can cause more outbreaks. You can get through this! I promise! After awhile it becomes normal and you don't even really think about it. Let me know if you need someone to talk to!
