I can't help you with the what the test results but I just wanted to tell you that each of us can empathize with what you are going through. Allow yourself this grieving/anger/sad period. It is an incredible shock; even when you were expecting to hear these results. It isn't the end of your lovelife . . there is a future, even for us HSV positive people. It is hard for you to see that right now. It will alter your life but there are worse STD out there even though it doesn't feel like it right now. I think that many many people have very few, or very mild outbreaks. On this board you will mostly find people who are looking for support which is why it might seem like you'll be having outbreaks non stop when reading our posts. But, the people who aren't experiencing o/b like we are aren't usually have moved on because herpes is nothing more than a very infrequent annoyance to them. The rest of us need support. I find when I am not having an outbreak I am happy and thinking that maybe I have finally broken the cycle. But when another outbreak happens (especially since my are so frequent), I come here for support hoping that someone else is having an up/outbreak free day and can cheer me up.

Happiness Is... thanks for your reply . I know there are so many people here with hsv and am sure they feel same way as myself .. especially when first heard the positive results.I suppose it could be worse .. much worse STDS like aids and other such ones , but I do feel so mad ..as am sure whomever gave it to me does if know he has this . will just take some time for me . you did make me feel a lot better after reading your reply . thanks so much . I hope that you are feeling ok today . I wish all good things for you .. for everyone that is living with this virus and all others .

You won't be 4everscared. I just wish herpes could be talked about more openly. What difference does it make where you have a sore or lesion? People with HSV1 on their mouths aren't made to feel like us. I just wish everyone who has H would come out & talk about it, that's what makes stigmas go away but I doubt it will ever happen. Your life is going to be fine. In a few weeks, you will have a different perspective. Trust me. Smiles & good thoughts.

So true. The other day I ran into someone who had so many cold sores on their lips and it looked so painful. And for the first time I thought (to myself) hey, I'm having an outbreak too but mine is hidden." So I guess if I had to choose one type, it would be genital.
