Question:
ok, well since i've only had HSV 1 below the waist for about 4 months now i've checked out the dating sites for HSV and it seems that there are no other people in my situation in my area on most of the sites. most of the sites mention HSV2 and there are only handful, maybe 3 males in my area at the most? it makes me think, or perhaps my brain wants me to think that what i have isn't so bad? where is everyone else at with this? i know that i'm not the only one in the area! since most of the physical signs have subsided and valtrex kills any other physical signs like the tingles..i feel like i get a false sense of security in that my HSV1 doesn't excist sometimes...anyone esle feel this way? i do want to be concerned and have no desire to put anyone else in harms way without them knowing first--i'm really too nice of a person for that---but it almost makes me feel like what i have is no big deal and this bothers me:(

Answer:
I have HSV1, and after seeing a couple of "lesions" god I hate that word...anyway, my GF noticed two tiny pimples...and after this whole debate with my ex...anyway. I have HSV1 and I wish I didn't have it because I know it's not as severe as HSV2 which makes the emotional impact almost two-fold. You think it's something you can get away with, but you know it's not. Do you know what I mean?
