I am in the process of being tested for genital herpes, I am hopeful it could be something else but the doctor was positive it was this. I'm so full of emotions and feel so alone. I never thought this could happen to me
It's going to be ok I know that waiting for the results was excruciating just like the pain from the first outbreak. I still couldn't believe I had herpes. All the years I was so careful not to sleep around and having protected sex. For what? So I could get it from my husband.. I learned that it's not going to go away but you will feel normal again. It's not the end of the world. Be strong and always know that your family and friend will always love no matter what. Take care and chin up, it's not your fault. This virus doesn't define who you are!!

Thank you so much! I am new to this site and have been really needing someone who understands, I am only 19 years old and have no idea what to do. It's my first outbreaks (if it truly is herpes) and I have never been in so much pain. My partner, who has been my only partner, went to go get checked today, we have no idea how to handle this.

I would recommend to try and get herbal supplements to help your immune system. I use them every day now after my first outbreak I looked for alternative options because the drugs didn't help me. Tea tree oil was a god sent for the pain. Try and buy a good pure essential oil. I hope you and your boyfriend support each other. Having a supportive partner would help a lot. Don't do the blame game. My husband blamed me when it was him who gave it to me. I had a positive culture test and negative blood work. Meaning it's a primary infection.
The pills they gave me have made me really sick. I vomit often, get headaches, and just feel weak all the time. I should be getting my results mid this week but the wait is killing me! I have been using a mix of tea tree oil and Vaseline to apply to the sores, is that okay? The doctor didn't tell me much while I was there so I really have no idea what I can and can't use. I am in so much pain even just to sit, I don't know how I'm gona make it through this. My partner does support me but it's been recent news and he feels like it's all his fault even when he's never had a break out or any symptoms. He's been the only person I've been with since I was a virgin when I met him and I just feel so sad that this happened with my very first partner @FlorecitaGzz
You will get through it. I am 24 yrs old only been with 3 ppl so I felt the same way. I had my 1st OB about 2 weeks ago went to the doctors they said they were 90% sure that it was a herpes outbreak and it was. I am still upset by the whole situation but I am accepting it. There is nothing I can do it change it so I just have to deal with it and move on.. And pray that I will still be able to find somebody who wants me.
I am trying to stay positive because I know there is nothing we can do about it now. We are not damaged goods, we are the same person we were before we got this. That's why I keep telling myself @Kristina91
Apply the tea tree oil with a q tip and let it dry use a hand fan to blow some air on it and you will feel relief from the pain try and apply it a few times a day. Drink lots of water try and find some olive leaf extract, lysine, elderberry, vitamin C and zinc. These supplements help your immune system. Try to calm down I know its hard but get in your bed and rest. I'm here if you need anything, I know it's so painful trust me I wanted to get my gun and end the pain. But I have to be strong for my kids, they need me. Hugs!! @Texas_girl
