I haven't got retested to make sure since I only found out a few days ago. Too early for blood test and I haven't have an outbreak or signs/symptoms for swabbing for it. Feeling a lil lost and not sure what to do? How to move forward with this? And my future? With anyone? Don't want to be alone. I'm not too good at being social interaction that why I have never date it a lot. This is only the second guy I been with and he got me. Feeling like **** for my mistake. Please help me my forward. It's hard. Thank you! anyone who would want to talk and support me. I needed it and asking for support to be positive and move forward to lived a normal life with this disease. Thank you again

what disease are you talking about? Is it herpes? I only ask because if it is I have feedback on that that might be helpful
@Sabotage yes! The doc says herpes cell show up in my normal routine pap but I have no sign/symptoms of herpes when she see me in her office. I went bc I was afraid that I might be pregnant(had unprotected sex twice, my mistake)(very stupid). Come to the visit I had an bladder infection. She did my pap and had culture swab done for std. Pap was normal and all the std tests was neg. but the only thing got me was herpes cells in my pap. I hope it was a mixes up in the lab. The doc told me if I believe that I had been recently exposed to the virus then it’s early to go for a blood test. She told to wait until i have any type of symptoms like vaginal discharge or something on my vag then comeback to her for herpes testing. It been over a month now since I have unprotected sex so far nothing. Sorry! I want to be described it in details how this come to my diagnosed and didn’t get tested for herpes yet. I’m hope this helps someone who went through the same thing as I did and not sure what to do next. I’m still feeling like I’m in a dark place since I found out last Friday
Nolady, let me say that for right now you have just got one test results came back and you're waiting for symptoms before you get tested again. in your first post you said something about future relationships regarding living with that disease. my wife has had that disease for 20 years we have been together 10 years have a very active sex life. she takes valtrex.the only time she shows symptoms is when she's super stressed out for her diet is off. yes not a good thing to have but life can't continue happily with it. all I can suggest is no more unprotected sex whether you have it or not. my wife got it because she had unprotected sex and he didn't tell her. but it's not the end of the world and you can still have healthy relationships with it and I know the risk to me I'm willing to take the chance. so there is hope. I wouldn't stress on it too much until you have absolute proof.

@Sabotage Thank you!!! For your feedback. I have q’s. If you don’t mind answering for me. When and how long into your relationship before your wife told you? How about kids together? Healthy? I have no kids yet. I would love to have another feedback from you. Honestly! Thank you! Hugs!
@Sabotage You said your wife only has OB when she's off her diet? I'm new here.. just had a positive culture test this week.. What kind of diet does your wife follow to help from having outbreaks?
@lifeWILLgoON it’s not so much as a particular diet as she eat healthy and tries to all the time. When she is rushing, stresses, under preasure, or in conflict with kids or myself, she changes her diest, wendys, burger king, cafeteria at her work. Making those those changes and stressors can cause outbreaks. as long as you’re taking Valtrex you should be good with the occasional outbreak.
