HELP!!!!

Hi everyone. I am 28 yrs old and was just given the news that I have herpes. Right now, I am scared and I don’t know what to do. I have a boyfriend and have yet to tell him. What should I do? We have been together for three years now and I just found out that I have it yesterday.


When he and I first met before, we were active and I was tested for everything but it all came back negative. And to my knowledge I don’t think I got it from him, but when the doc told me he said I have had it for a while its crazy because I always would get yeast infections. Now I think they were all out breaks but I was treated for yeast infections every time.

So in my mind now I am so angry. Angry because I didn't know, angry because I don’t know when exactly did I get the virus. Angry because of the thought that why didn't the doctors run real tests, angry because I am so confused and need help. I know it is not a death sentence and for that I am glad. I guess I just feel in a rut. I pray and pray so I have strength through the Lord. I will live with this for the rest of my life and I will be happy once I know how to manage and cope a little more with my situation.

In addition to my recent bad news I have hope that someday life will still get better. So please tell me what’s the best thing to do right now?

You should tell him, I know it is hard as I just went through the same thing.. finding out 5 months after dating.. I was afraid of how he would react and if he would leave. It all turned out he said he loves me and we would get through it and we just take it day by day. It's best to know all about herpes so you can tell him most people don't know a lot about it.

Good for you for being very positive but you should tell him. It can only get better. If he loves you, he will stay. It's not your fault.
