Question:
I was just diagnosed today with hsv2, although i've been pretty certain for the past 3 days. I'm a 16 year old girl, about to be 17. I've been/slept with the same person for the past 5 months. I don't know how I could deserve this, or who i got it from(I've only been with a small amount of people. 4 over the past 2 years). I've been a wreck, I feel like i'm gonna lose my relationship who i've been on and off with for over a year and a half. If I didn't get it from him, and it turns out i gave it to him, I don't know what i'm going to do with myself.
I feel like i'll never get married, never have kids. Like my family will no longer accept me. And I don't know how I will ever be intimate again.

I brought it up to my partner the other day. He said he'd still love me no matter what, but kept saying "it's probably not herpes". So I feel like he's ok with it just because he doesnt think i have it.

I feel like I should move far far away, where no one knows me. Please, tell me..happiness does come? And one day i'll be ok with this?

Another thing. I was put on acyclovir. If your on it, has it worked well for you? Someone also mentioned Lysine tablets... should i be taking those?

Sorry for the babbling. I can't think straight, and can barely put a correct sentence together right now.

You are a sweet beautiful girl. It is scary especially at 16. is there someone you can talk to? I have a daughter not much older than you and if that happened to her, I would want her to tell me, talk to me. It is just too much information to handle at your age too much unknown. even though my daughter does not know that I have it. I have taken this opportunity to tell her the unknown risk that even I at 50 did not know. Knowledge is a powerful thing. Just because someone does not tell you or does not know that they have it does not mean that you cannot educate yourself from this day forward. YOU ARE SOMEBODY SPECIAL, NEVER FORGET THAT . You need to gather all of the information you can. You are not dying, no one is shooting at you and you will not die from this, inconvenient yes, but livable. You need to find a good dr that you are comfortable with. I saw a lady doctor and she was absolutely the most compassionate person i have ever met. You wouldl be surprised at how common this is and they can help you make some decisons about what treatment options you have. Finding out who gave it to you will not change the fact that you have it. But you might want to tell your partners so that they may be tested so as not to infect others. I KNOW THAT IS SCARY SINCE YOU ARE PROBABLY IN SCHOOL SOMEwHERE IN YOUR TOWN AND TEENAGERS TALK. bE CAREFUL NOT TO SPILL YOUR GUTS TO JUST ANYONE. hAVING HAD A TEENAGE DAUGHTER, GIRLS CAN BE INCREDIBLY TWO FACED. REMEMBER DON'T LOSE YOUR DIGNITY NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT FROM YOU. i WISH i COULD JUST GIVE YOU A BIG OLD HUG! YOU NEVER QUIT BEING A MOTHER! YOU FEEL FREE TO PM ME IF YOU LIKE AND WE WILL CHAT. PLEASE PLEASE DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP TOO MUCH . BELEIVE IT OR NOT YOU WILL BE A BIGGER , STRONGER WOMAN DUE TO THIS. I WILL BE THINKING ABOUT YOU. TITANIC
