Answer 1

For me, the first six months I had it were absolutely horrible, and ob per month. I've had it since 2002 and I've only had a few ob's since then. I don't think I can say I feel insecure about it. My husband is really supportive. We've been together 3 yrs. and he does not have it. I don't have any friends w/hsv2 and I kind of miss being able to talk to someone who knows what it's like, etc, ya know? As for how ob's feel, the times I've had them they've varied, sometimes it's just an uncomfortable feeling. Sometimes fairly painful. But just having hsv has really become almost a non-issue. Thankfully, I am lucky, and my ob's are few and far-between. I realized very early on that I was lucky that I only contracted hsv and not something that could or would end my life. I knew I had it, and I could not change that. So I had to just accept that on move on with my life. It's made me more careful in relationships, grateful for the life I have, and so thankful for being able to find someone to share my life with and raise our kids with. It's wierd but in a way it helped me get my head straight and live the life I knew I wanted and not take things for granted. So no, I guess I really don't ever feel insecure about it. :)

Answer 4

I got identified with herpes (type 2) about 5 years back, when I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I understand a lot of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone who has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/Fe0wo everything got better.

Not only was I able to clear away all remnants of the hsv from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This system gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

Answer 5

I'm not a woman but..

I wouldn't feel insecure about it. I'm not saying not to be safe about it and use safe precautions with your partners. Even letting them know.

To be honest, I worked for the red cross doing blood testing. About 90% of people whom are over 21 years of age had a form of herpes, not simplex 2. Its not full blown and active though.

But still, 1 in 4 women in america have it. So think about while your sitting at work or in school. There are 12 women in the room. The odds are 3 of you have it.

I wouldnt go around carelessly about it though. Its still good to be safe and keep it controlled. There are many medicines and ways to do so, so keep it controlled.

I apologize if you did not want my post here. Feel free to delete it.

Answer 6

I have had genital herpes caused by HSV1 for 6+ years. I had about 3 outbreaks during my first year of having genital herpes. I had about one the next year and the year after. In total, I have had about 5 outbreaks. I have been outbreak free for over 2 years now.

I don't really get pain on the inside of my body, it's mostly on the outside. My first outbreak was HORRIBLE. I had flu like symptoms, felt fatigued, and was in a TON of pain. The reoccurring outbreaks weren't nearly as bad. I always have pain on my genital area and soreness when I'm on an outbreak, but I never feel pain on the inside, like my stomach.

I don't feel insecure about having genital herpes. The first year was pretty rough, but now that I have had it for over 6 years, it's not a big deal to me anymore. When I'm not having an outbreak I feel and look totally fine, just like anyone else. I have a great family, fiance, and dogs :) and I couldn't be happier.

Take care!

Answer 7

I have had genital hsv1 for nearly two years. In that time I've had about 8 outbreaks. I feel pretty insecure when I'm having an outbreak, I just feel like no one is ever going to want me again, even if the outbreak is extremely mild as most of them are. It just doesn't make you feel sexy. I have never had an outbreak on the inside since the primary, which was horrible. I tend to get sores on my inner labia.

Answer 8

I've had it for six years and before 2005 I would have them 24/7 because I had ulcerative colitis which made my outbreaks so bad and frequent. I used to get them on my buttocks and on my thighs.

Since I had my colon removed I get them maybe once every 2-3 months. I am very insecure about it. None of my ex-boyfriends knew I had it nor does my current boyfriend. I'm afraid he may break up with me.

Answer 9

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.
