Herpes since 92 !?

Question

Hey, I've had Herpes since 1992 which I picked up in Hawaii on my way to Gulf War 1, It was a one night stand....and yes I used protection.

Anyways, its 2006 and I have hidden my STD from friends and family, with exception of a handfull of dates from various STD dating sites.

Its been tough all these years not being able to date and having to give freinds and family excuses for still being single...etc. Needless to say I have never passed on the disease, as I would feel less then a man.

The depression just keeps adding on as I am now a good 80lbs overweight. When you don't feel attractive inside....you tend to not care about the outside....

This being said, I'm not feeling sorry for myself, whats done is done and I have to continue on....

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Just to let you know....I am over educated on the subject of herpes.....no further education is needed,,,lol

Answer 1

Hi there. I have had Herpes since 1990. Let me tell you I had a tough time at first. I gained 70lbs, I felt ugly (which I'm not) I never thought that I would settle down.

Well, I just married last year. My husband doesn't have herpes and he was very open about the whole idea of me having it. And I happen to be his very first girlfriend, so he loved me enough for me.

Try not to look for ladies with herpes just because you have it. You might be missing out on someone very open and wonderful.

I too, like you have way to much knowledge about herpes, but I see that it still didn't stop others from sending you more.

Start working out and making yourself feel better and the Ladies will come. I will pray for you.

Yes, there isn't any. Herpes is caused by a virus. Actually, there is little cure for viruses nowadays. The only thing that you can generally do in the case of a viral infection is strengthen the immune system and hope it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune system can't win against it. Thus you only get to treat the symptoms. Once you're infected, it stays with you for life. So don't get infected.

Personal experience. I have had genital herpes for over 5 years.

Lol I'm glad you are educated on the subject cause Im not. I would not keep it a secret if I were you. Why? You have had it sense 92. This should be a normal part of your life by now. And thank you so much for being responsible about it. Its people like you that could make the STD percentage rate drop dramatically. To bad a bunch of morons get infected. Dont be so hard on yourself if its finding a woman to except your problem that's bumming you I think you will do better if you worked on your self esteem. I'm 21 not infected with anything dont have a problem getting guys and I would most definitely date a guy who had this problem if he was like able in every other aspect.


Oh and for people who think it is "nasty" that is like saying your nasty if you get the flu. Nobody asks for it. I went to school with a very popular nice girl who stayed a virgin until 22 and the first guy she had sex with gave her herpes.

Answer 6

I have genital herpes too. The best thing I did was tell my family and friends. As long as you educate them on the issue then it will be okay. When people think of genital herpes they think its nasty. Well in fact you and I both know that sooo many people have it. Many of those people dont even know they have it. I was sooo depressed when I found out. My family and friends are soo supportive and I couldnt go through this without them. You will find a woman and dont have to have sex right away. When you feel it is the right time and you trust her you can tell her. She will understand if she loves you or is committed to you. I had to tell my boyfriend that I had this and I was so scared that he was going to leave me. He was very supportive and he and I plan to be together forever so its okay if he got it because he couldnt spread it just being with me. He has never gotten an out break thank god. The woman you meet will be the same way. No one will leave you because of this if they know you and care for you. As far as being depressed I think its because you dont have anyone to go through this with as support. Tell your family and friends. If you ever want to talk more about this feel free to contact me through my email. Good luck!!! I hope I could help!!!

Answer 7

Genital herpes cannot be cured. Once infected, the virus stays in the body for the rest of the individual's life
Research suggests that the virus can be transmitted even when there are no symptoms present, so that a sexual partner without obvious genital herpes sores may still transmit the illness. In fact, asymptomatic spread may actually contribute more to the spread of genital herpes than do active sores.
Please see the webpages for more details on Herpes simplex.

Dude, there is Valtrex now. What are you waiting for? Don`t be depressed, go to the doctor and discuss getting on it. You will find someone who will love you anyway, I have. I know it is hard, but when you date you have to tell her if you think you are getting serious. She will either love you enough to stay or will leave. Do not give up as you can do something about this. Good luck
