Question:
Well I just got my results today and confirmed that I have HSV2, I was hoping that if it was definite that it would be type 1.

I truely have no idea how I will cope if/when I have another out break. The guy I am sure I got it from had no idea he had it, had never had ANY tests accept HIV for immigration purposes a few months ago. I asked him to get tested the 1st week we were together and we both did (I have always had routine checks and been fine) all his results came back as ok (as Im in NZ we dont have blood tests routinely for HSV) so we had unprotected sex - :mad: - I then went away to see family for 3 weeks, came back and after having sex the first day I was with him, I felt sore, I had had this before so thought it was just from not having sex for 3 weeks. Within less than a week I couldnt walk, sit down or anything without extreme pain and huge swelling. Long story short the doctor was sure it was HSV and I got my result today that confirmed it is HSV2.

MY PROBLEMS - I have already had the toughest time finding the right partner as because Im vege/vegan no one ever understands my ethincal beliefs. NOW having to find someone who understands this is just depressing.

BTW - my bf and I broke up for variuos reasons and Im still in touch with my other ex before him who lives overseas. I told my other ex too as we are still friends. Im extremely scared that I will never meet anyone that understands EVERYTHING as it was already feeling impossible that there was someone out there for me that it would all work with :( :( :(

Answer:
i think i can speak for all of us, newly diagnosed, single members here. i know that someday we will all have the person of our dreams......however, today, i feel that it is not likely. the emotional affects of this virus can be more painful the the physical at times. hang in there.....everything will work out......

Answer:
It took me ten years to find that man. Mr Perfect. Mr absolutely perfect. Ten years. There were days I could eat the walls. There were days I thought god i think I'll turn frigid at this rate. But there were days I was just too busy raising kids to notice. But oh those nights when I'd I given more love than I'd recieved in the day and I felt so keely the absence of mature love returned.... Lord the injustice!

And when it came, oh dear Lord when it came (and certainly I did several times) it blew me to bits. (I am not deliberately punning) Ripped me up and left me whimpoering like a child after an tantrum. To have found love after all this, holding on when there seems like there's no hope left. I think not even the guy finding an oasis in the middle of a dessert could begin to apprecaite the magnitude of this. Love after herpes. It exists. In fact my new love wrote me something special today, he wrote

Dear Mrs Right (no kidding)

.......so what I'm trying to say is that by just having faith in life's path, is that, let it take it's course, don't force it. My undying love for you and I am certain you for me will eventually lead us on the most beautiful journey of our lives.


Passionate and Eternal Love


Mr. Right

Chin up everyone. We'll all be promoted.

Answer:
Ling a ling - don't suppose you have a cloning machine for Mr. Right?

Negan - I feel for you. H is not tested for here either - no one has a clue if they have it or not unless like me you've a major (1st) outbreak that you end up at the doctors...so all this worrying about giving it to someone else could be "moot" as they might have it already (sorry my pet hate at the mo).

And as for Mr. Right & vegan lifestyle...it's the exact same for a lot of us but just with different boxes to tick. I'm just pissed that we now has one more box that has to be ticked even though we didn't put it on out own list.

Big hug!

Answer:
I am very angry about the fact that I have yet ANOTHER box that needs ticking in order for me to find 'the one' and I have tried so many times to date meat eaters and end up hurting people or they hurt me because we are just too different (this is what just happened with the guy that gave it to me!!!)

I get so angry, upset, emotional, then happy that at least I dont have a life threatening disease...but there we go again, it IS a virus, a life long one that will be with me the rest of my life, that I cannot stand. I am so f**king obseesive with health and was a virgin til I was 22 years old. only been having stupid sex for 3 years and now I have this the rest of my life - UNLESS we can band together and find a cure - prove all the medical world wrong!!! PLEASE!!! :)

As I am vegan I was devastated to read some of those foods we can and cannot have, I already have my own list of food cans and cannots, dont want more to add to the list.

QUESTION for the women - how can you plan to get pregnant if you keep having OB's when you are fertile and/or when you dont have OB's you have your period??? Just a question that went through my mind that started worrying me :( I want a family in the near future, so this is a concern :(

Thanks for replying to my thread :)
