honey, i am in the exact same situation. i contracted herpes from my exboyfriend. its nice to know that i am not alone. i was diagnosed a year and a half ago. as far as life after herpes, all i can say is that it gets better. it took me a while to realize that if herpes is the worst thing that happens to me then life is still good. sure its gonna be a bummer from time to time but when i think about other dieseases such as HIV, AIDS, cancer herpes is a walk in the park. so i am learning from my mistake and i am going to be more selective with the guys i date. that means i assess a man's character before i even consider having a committed relationship. i haven't met that guy yet but i refuse validate myself with a man or relationship. that is what got me in the situation i am in. so keep your head up. dont let this define you. you can still have kids and get married. some people are more willing to take risks that others and thats fine. my ex wasnt honest with me. i was stupid enough to trust him. my choice was taken from me i wont take the next guys choice.

Hi I found out that i had herpes last year when I got so sick that i didnt know what was going on with me. Well I went to the gyn dr and whalla i had it. In the beginning It was so hard trying to ask myself question as for who,what where and when.. And these are questions that you cant ponder over. But yes there is life after herpes you can still have a healthy relationship and kids. But try to seek a counseling group. You know what helps me i know that every 5 people have this disease unaware of aware of it. I always count how many people are in the room and see how many possible people are with the same disease. makes me realize that i am not alone in the situation. there are more...

Look, you need to find a support group near you to talk these things out to a live body. In the meantime, of course there is life after Herpes. First of all, what kind did you get- low or high risk. Either variety can eventually go away with correct treatment. External warts can be removed, and although pap smears aren't pleasant activities, they are not fatal. Having herpes doesn't change the person you are. It's a disease for heavens sake- and diseases don't care who you are, they are the most democratic of all things. Eventually you will find somebody special. That special person will love you for who you are, and the whole herpes thing won't even be a factor. Meantime, educate yourself about your disease, find out that it's not the end of world and get into a support group. And get on with the rest of your life. There's plenty more ahead of you, and it's not all colored with Herpes.

I really hope there is life after Herpes...I feel you 100% I am some what in the same position as you except that I am still with the guy who gave me Herpes. It is one of the hardest things I've had to deal with but, its part of life and part of me. I always think about how life would be the day I am not with my bf. Will someone love and accpet me for me? I hope so. My mom says there is ALWAYS someone out there for you no matter what and I do believe in that but I am still holding on very hard because I am scared I know that some day I will have the guts to get up and go. Perfect example I know this girl that shes been paralized from waist down since she was born and I always felt bad for her because I thought it would be hard for her to find someone well guess what?? She met this wonderful guy and is 9 months pregnant. I try not to feel better of people's problems but, if she's in a wheel chair and someone fell in love with her why wouldnt someone fall in love with me? I am also very young too I contracted Herpes at 19 I am now 24 and the sad part is that he was my only partner. And I say sad because its not like I was sleeping around and being a whore. I was 100% faithful and unfortunately he wasn't. He tells me every now and then that he feels horrible for what he did to me and I am sure he does. My biggest fear is that he cheats again I've been with him now 7yrs and I feel that my feeling have changed I guess it been a rocky relationship.I feel that this feeling that he is going to cheat is always going to be in the back of my mind. I can only wish you lots of luck and if you ever feel the need to speak with someone please feel free to contact me at yb3605@yahoo.com

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.

The CDC has a good website with all of the information about genital herpes. www.cdc.gov/std/herpes

Basically you can do things like in vitro fertilization, clothed petting, finger condoms, etc. etc.
You miss out on certain things from now on unfortunately, but no matter what you can still lead a fulfilling life. You'll still have a 50% level of fulfilment if you try your best.
