Is there anyone out there with genital herpes who can help? Are any of you normal healthy people that have it? O.k., I contracted this virus in oct. 04'. From a guy who I was dating and waitined several months even to have sex. It was protected, but, the condom came of for a moment. No big deal, we got another one, and kept going. Anyway, a day later, I felt a stinging sensation and immediatlt went to my OBGYN. I know that it wasn't normal, however, I sort of thought it was chaffing. 11 days later, tests come back possitive genital herpes! I confronted the jerk, who claimed he never ever had anythiong like that. Hell maybe he never did have an outbreak, I have since read that that is possible. Anyway, I am going on because I want you to know that I didn't sleep around, and made a point of refraining from sex for some period of time before sleeping with people. Also, that we did have protected sex. He was the only guy that I had been with in over a year, (the last was my ex boyfriend). What do I do if I meet a great guy? How do you tell him? Will he think me a discusting whore?!
