There are many different ways to treat herpes. Some of these methods include oral medication or topical creams. There are also more natural methods like herbs and oxygen therapy. Unfortunately, there is no official cure for herpes at this time.
No matter what you do, you may still have some herpes outbreaks. The best thing for you to do is find treatment options that will work for you. It may take some trial and error, but you will find a great option with some patience.
Your doctor most often treats herpes with antiviral drugs. These are not a cure for herpes, but they can take the edge off. They can make it possible for you to live with herpes and not be in so much pain.
There are three major companies that make herpes treatments. Always discuss the best option for you with your doctor. Zoviarx, Famvir, and Valtrex are the three most used treatments. You’re probably most familiar with Valtrex, so discuss it with your doctor if you think this is a good treatment for you.
Of course, the only true cure is prevention! If you are lucky enough that you don’t have herpes, there are vaccines that may be available soon. These will prevent the infection to others. This is very important for you to take note of even if you do have herpes. You do not want to give your spouse or partner herpes.
While you are taking your herpes suppression drugs, there are some things you can do to reduce severity. One of the best things for you to do is keep the area very dry. If you leave the area of outbreak wet, it will take a lot longer to heal. One method that some people use is to dry the area with a hair dryer with the cool setting.
Always make sure you avoid creams that are not specifically meant for herpes. These can aggravate the skin. Also, wear looser clothing than normal during an outbreak. This will prevent chaffing. Even though there is no cure for herpes, you will do well to take those precautions.
There are some experimental herbs in the works in addition to the medicines and treatments that are commonly used. An herb named Prunel vulgaris is currently being studied and was shown to be effective on animals.
You may have to wait quite a while before there is a cure for herpes. The best thing you can do for now is consult with your doctor. They will be able to point you in the right direction with some suppression therapy and management techniques. There are new treatments on the horizon, and we will make sure to keep up with the current trends.

any idea what that shot may be or when it will be available?
Any input is good…..
Thank you,
When will they actually have the cure to get rid of herpes…alot of people suffer & get made fun of & feel bad because they didn’t ask to get herpes.
Many people want to have children and they feel that they can’t because herpes is ruining there lives.
when will these people get a move on already & get a CURE!!!
Some people cry every night because they just want to have a normal life & be able to have a child with out worrying if they might get it…FIND A CURE NOW.
Ashley, I contracted herpes the begining of 08 and I just had a child spring of 09. The Dr. prescribed valtex and there was no complications. I understand your concern I was worried too but I just wanted to tell you that it is ok. And that you can have children without passing this std on.
We need a cure now!! It’s very stressful to live with the discomfort and stigma.
ijust got married and dont have any kids woth my wife i tested to be positive it sems as if the lab is not sure my IGG is normal but my IHM is not right now i am a bit confused
i just found out that i have herpes like 1 hour ago…..
i feel like my life is over…
I really don’t know what to say because in reality there’s nothing to say to make this disease go away…No one ask for this to happen to them but you still ask why me?I believe its a sign from god but some people may not realize it till its to late…since i found out my lfe will never be the same I hope to change for the good but bad things seem to follow me where ever i go
I haven’t found out for sure if I have it or not, but I’d rather be realistic and realize that the symptoms are aligned. I’ll have my results in a week or so but right now it seems impossible to have a normal dating life as you all seem to be feeling too, especially since I’m one of those extremely conservative girls who waited a long time to even have sex.
I’ve spoken to my acupuncturist about all this, and we’re both confident that with the help of her treatment, the right diet (which we should be eating healthier anyway!.. this just really forces us to
we both feel confident I can become asymptomatic. As far as passing it on, I believe our brains have an incredible amount of power over our bodies. By utilizing our brains to their potential, we have the power to dictate what goes on with our bodies. Let’s all do an experiment to see if we can actually get rid of it. who knows, anything is possible and there are these “miracle stories” that we hear from time to time.
in the meantime.. there are teas, and other foods we can be eating to decrease possibility of breakouts. I believe in meditation too. It all helps.
I was diagnosed with Herpes 3 months ago, ever snce then, no guys have looked at me the same, I wish there was a cure, Im 16 years old and have it. my ex cheated on me n gave it to me and everyone says its my fault n calls me a whore or a nasty slut cause of it. i wish i woulda stayed “pure” like my mom wanted me to:’(
I have had herpes since I was 16, I cried myself to sleep many nights and thought my life was over. I’m now 29 and have been able to have a normal dating life. I have always told the people I have dated that I have herpes before we have had sex- if you don’t how can they trust you when the find out in the future? It is a very hard conversation and I tended to get emotional, but it has to be said. I have had one experience where the person did not want to date me after I told them, but I have also been with people who still wanted to continue the relationship. I am now married to a wonderful man, who does not have herpes, we have a baby and are truly happy. Life is not over, you will just have be in relationships where the person truly loves you.
i also contracted a couple of years ago, how i dunno, uh its sucks bad, uh they have cure for aids, come one its 2010, were smart, lets get a shot that cures, but than that will probably cost a arm and leg, =(
i know someone who has herpes and he wants to date me and all that but im really nervous about it i dont want it so please hurry up it pisses me off that there is no cure or even shots so nobody gets it we have all these people doctors and scientists and all that stuff yet they make you wait forever they should keep people updated its not fair!!!!
i am only 18years old. I was diagnosed about 5 months ago.i lost my virginity and gained herpes. i knew that somthing was worng with in the week i had unprotected sex. some times i question why me? why didnt i wait longer 2 have sex? why didnt i use pritection? but it has made me stronger, i research all the time. i recently found this treatment called quickclear. did it work for anyone? another question i have is how is it possible to get pregnant by your significant other without giving them herpes?
Well, I found out I had herpes after my husband cheated on me. So if you can imagine how this makes feel not real good, Everytime I have have an outbreak I get to think about why I have Herpes!! For the rest of my life I will feel this way. I cannot believe there is no cure for Herpes!!! I am 40 years old been married 15 years never cheated on my husband. Things happen I guess.
So here I am, after being married for a long time, my wife and I are getting a divorce. Both she and I had genital herpes and it was a non issue with us. But now due to the divorce I am seeing other people, and I am in my mid 30′s. The number one thing that amazes me is the number of women who are understanding with my issue. My suggestions are #1. tell the person right up front before you have sex and before things get really serious that you have gen herpes. #2. tell them you are taking medication for it (and actually do it), while on valtrex and without having an outbreak the chance of transmission is LESS THAN 95%. Cut that in half again if you use condoms. Do not have sex with someone unless you tell them first as you very might loose their trust. I know that valtrex can be expensive but look on the net, a generic equiv can be found for as low as 90 pills for $99.00. Your life is not over if you have genital herpes, trust me i did not ask to have this bullshit, but I have it now and I must deal with it. It is hard and very frustrating but you can deal with it. Guys listen to me, get very good at doing oral on a woman, learn everything you can about it and do it well. The woman you are with will love you for that and you will feel better knowing that she accepts you for who you are, and it will be safe sex (without herpes safe), and you might even give her the orgasm that she never had. YOU! And you thought you were broken. Life goes on.
I’m 27 years old and have had herpes since i was 15 due to being raped. For a very very long time in my life i felt that because of this disease i was ruined. it’s not the truth. there are people out there that will love you no matter what is going on. as for dating, it’s a very difficult thing to bring up. get to know someone first, don’t have sexual contact with them until they know. it’s not fair to them if you don’t tell them before, just like it wasn’t fair to you.
Ashley….i promise everything will be ok. don’t keep beating yourself up over this. you will live your life, you will find someone that this will not bother. i hate that you feel this way and my heart is broken for you, but it will all be ok. tomorrow is another day :~)
I am 16. I caught herpes and a few other things from my boyfriend. He brought me to the clinic and because I cheated on him with another guy, the other guy caught oral herpies and gave his girlfriend a huge scare. Sounds gross and I’m embarrassed. I know I’m young. But I learned the hard way. And was lucky it wasn’t aids. From now on,… WRAP IT UP ! ! !
Crystal G, just wanted to let you know that genital herpes and oral herpes are within the same viral family but you don’t usually contract the oral type from genital and the genital from oral. And since these viruses cause latent infections, who knows whether or not the guy you cheated with had oral herpes in the first place? But you definitely get oral herpes from kissing while the individual is having an outbreak and same goes for genital. I just hope that the pharmaceutical companies come up with a cure for both oral and genital types…
im only thirteen and i also have herpes type two. i only had sex with one person, and got herpes. so i made a decison to never have sex or any other kind of sexual realtions in my life ever again. i dont want people to call me nasty. or think im a whore. although i feel like one. so i plan on being single. so i dont put anyone i may have sex with in my shoes. its a awful feeling.
Science and medicine are obviously failing in curing herpes. There simply isn’t enough evidence that they are going to ever cure HSV.
Turning to medicine for cures is obviously counterproductive. If you turn to your own immune system for a cure you are going to be much more successful.
I’m not suggesting your try the billions of products labeled to boost the immune system, they have all been used and they all have failed.
This is because you cannot boost the immune system you must restore it. There is nothing more unnatural to healing then trying to rely on a chemical to improve ones health all it can do is improve how one feels.
Google True Cures and wade through a few of the attacks and read and see if you do not find new found understanding and faith in your immune system and its ability to cure you of herpes.
You can sit and wait for medicine or you can look outside of medicine and take responsibility for yourself and your health. True Cures is not medicine is is cures using what God has given you to allow you to have immunity. Let your instincts and your common sense guide you.
True Cures, no charge, non-profit and the purest science you will find on the internet.
I would like to introduce cures that can’t be patented to science and medicine. They seem to be very much against cures they cannot patent or sell so I need your help to force them to investigate cures for herpes that cannot be patented.

We all want a cure so bad but its like the more we cry for it the more we get turned down. All the plants in the world and they have yet to find a cure. Scientist have found the cure for cancer and just read a cure for aids. Now what about HERPES?? People who can’t afford the medicine has to suffer when they have outbreaks, I know cause I just recently had one and I had to call my job to tell them it would be a week before I came back to work. I have to work to provide for my son since I am a single mother and I am only 19.I can’t afford the medicine and I am tired of crying and suffering. No one asked to contract herpes and I am pretty sure no one wants to keep it. It really feels like life isn’t the same anymore. I wish this website if it really does, reach out to somebody who really wants to help. Someone who wants to make a difference in someone else life. WE NEED A CURE PLEASE!!! not something that helps for a little while, something that will make it gone out of the body forever.

I found out the I have herpes two weeks ago…I feel numb. I keep thinking I’m going to wake up from this nightmare. I feel so stupid because I don’t remember having that bad initial outbreak and I had been having what I now know were symptoms for years. My OBs were not frequent and I’m married so I never thought I would have an STD, let alone herpes. What I also feel stupid about is never asking to be tested for herpes, I found out they don’t do the test unless you ask. Now I feel like I’m having an OB but no outward signs…is it my mind? I’m a mess, I feel like a walking gigantic germ. I pray for a cure YESTERDAY!!! I hate the idea of having to take medicine everyday for the rest of my life. I’m so sad and barely want to go on but know that I can’t give up, I have a son who needs me. I feel so alone, I don’t want to tell anyone, I know I would be viewed differently. I know its a common virus and from what I’ve read, I’m thinking at least one of my friends has herpes but doesn’t know. I don’t want to pass it to anyone, I’m scared to be close to people. WE NEED A CURE NOW!!!
I just found out that I am “borderline” type 2, so they are considering me positive. A month prior to this result, I was negative.
I would not recommend this to anyone, but I have decided to triple the dose that my Dr. has prescribed to me. I do not believe there is not a cure. If they are able to prevent, control and immunize against viruses, which are supposed to run their course, then there must be a way to destroy this virus.
Most infections are cured with antibotics, the flu, a virus, runs it’s course. So, I have decided to experiment on myself (i understand the risks) to see what happens.
If anyone knows of any experiments out there where they are looking for someone to participate, please post. I’m going to start making contact with major medical schools to volunteer to be used as a “rabbit” for the benefit of all.
The social stigma attached with this disease is like that of being a leper and unaccepatable. We should never give up hope, ever.
I promise to keep updated.
I come from a catholic family, I held out on having sex for years and years. In my first year of losing my virignity, I had a drunken encounter and i knew the boy had a cold sore on his mouth but it seemed to be scabbing over…..i was drunk adn stupid and let him perform oral sex on me….in hte next few days I endured the most pain I’d ever felt in my entire life. I’m not a slut, i hadnt even been having sex for a year and i contracted Herpes. I have a boyfriend now who doesnt seem to care about the fact I have herpes so that’s really good, but I just want it gone. Now when i get recurrences, it’s no where near as painful…mainly just itchy…..but I’m a veryt sexual person and it hinders my sex life. I didnt get a recurrence for 4months after my first one, I’ve now had 2 in the last 2 months. Could it be because I went on the pill again? or too much sex? Whatever it is, I’d really rather they just came up with a cure and quickly. I hate the stigma that is attached to this infection. I’d wish it wouldnt recur so that I wouldnt have to worry or be reminded that I do have it living in my body!! It’s a lot worse emotionally for me than it is physically.
It real gets me down hearing everybodys story. I barely turn 18yrs old I been infected since I was 10yrs old. I was innocent, I did nothing to deserve the disease. I have oral herpes hsv1. Getting infected is high. It just takes using an towel that’s been used by infected person, drinking out of a cup that has been drank from an infected peron,kissing, anything that has to do with skin to skin contact with an infected person you will be infected to. All my teenage years I cried, went through depression, embarrasment because I went through pain having to deal with cold sores coming 3 times a year and last almost 2 weeks. Even til this day I worry about waking up with the tingling, itching sensation on my lips knowing that the next 2 weeks are going to be hell. We were born into a world of sin, that’s the reason god made diseases, to punish those who are doing wrong (commiting adultry). Lifes not fair, some of us have to deal with others consequences. Having herpes is not the end of the road, its another reason to bring your self closer to god. He will give you that speacial someone who will except the situation you are going through, how do I know because I’m in a relationship and he excepts me for who I am. I am in college and I’m living a normal life. I’m not letting this disease ruin my life, because lifes to short to regret and be depressed. God bless everyone my prayers go out to you. Have faith and be close to god and one day the cure for herpes will arrive and we will all be cured. For those people who are experincing oral herpes (cold sores) try to keep them dry. Apply tooth paste if you feel a cold sore coming another thing you can apply is nail polish remover it dries it out. Try to be less stressed out that causes cold sore outbreaks. Gob bless
Feels bad and I feel like not wanted to live no more, please come out with a cure. But I know your pocket is more important then are lives, and are feelings. But thanks for taking the time out to hear us cry and talk about are problems.
I do not have herpes, but know a person that does. That is why I am on this site. As I read all of your comments, my heart goes out to you. Know that it is not the end of the world. I am sure it takes some time to adjust to knowing you have herpes.
Hopefully there will be a cure for you soon. May God bless you and touch your hearts and give you peace.
I just found out two days ago that I am positive for genital herpes and ever since then I can’t stop crying. I feel that no guy will look at me the same or want to have sex with me. I got tested four months ago after my ex freaked me out and told me he had an std. i tested negative for every std. i started seeing this guy about two months ago and got really serious with him and because i was on the pill and we are serious we had unprotected sex. well we recently broke up, and a few days later I had my first outbreak. I know he gave it to me, but i don’t know how to talk to him about it. What if he blames it on me? What do i do? What if he knew he had it or worse, didn’t and thinks I gave it to him instead? I feel dirty, like my life is over and will never be the same. I can’t wait for a cure. I need a cure.
I’ve been having outbreaks since Feb 2010. The first time I went to the doctor; I was told that I was paranoid & my sores didn’t look like herpes. I went to a second doctor, got a blood test and my lab results came back positive for herpes on March 21st, 2011. I’m so depressed. I’ve never had an STD before. I don’t know how to deal with this. I got it from my friend Efrem. I stared breaking out three days after he gave me unprotected oral sex in 2010. We’ve been knowing one another for close to 3 years & sleeping together for 2…from the beginning, I’ve asked him if he’s been tested for STD’s. He said yes…well he lied guys, seems like i’m burning every other week. He claims he didn’t know he had it, but I don’t believe him. Why would a clean person lie about taking an STD test?? If you’re clean, u wouldn’t have a problem taking one. Also, when I told him about my test results; he didn’t seem hurt. His only response was, “we have to keep this between us. My sons mother can’t find out b/c she’ll use it against me”…ummm yeah, I think he knew. He was the only person I was sleeping with, but of course I wasn’t the only person he was sleeping with. He was sleeping w/ half of Atlanta. It feels like a bad dream. How could a trainer who only eats organic foods, doesn’t smoke or drink, & preaches about healthy living give me something so nasty? Having sex w/ everyone isn’t organic or healthy & herpes isn’t either. He’s a walking contradiction. I thought he would be different since he’s 13 years older than me (He’s 39)..boy was I wrong, I should have stuck w/ my age group. The 20′s. I know I’m not getting married or having kids now. I’m damaged goods. I pray there’s a cure soon. My outbreaks are so painful & so frequent. I wasn’t sleeping w/ everyone so why do I have to suffer? I didn’t deserve this.
i Have herpes… my life hasnt changed that much ive became more wiser.. its are fault for not fuckin with a Condom .. im still Happy thoe, Be happy yu didnt catch aids. like my Father tells me

Latazzzzz .. smile Bishes its not the end of the world. Read the Bible more often….
I just found out i have herpes three days ago. I feel like my life will never be the same, it will take time to accept things the way they are now. I understand each one of you, but we must be strong and hope for a cure soon.
After a trip to a doctor to confirm that I was infected I was devastated. That was 10 years ago. Now, I don’t really think about it much at all; it’s an occasional inconvenience and that’s about it. Although there is no cure, I have found that the virus can effectively be controlled with valacyclovir. I would not have believed it when I was first diagnosed, but really: it is not a big deal. Exercise, eat right, watch your stress, and maybe put yourself on suppression therapy from time to time(valacyclovir) and herpes isn’t that much of a challenge. Relax.
My name is Keith cash Jr and I live in Memphis tn, I currently have a girlfriend messes marks whom I have not told I have herpes but I perform oral sex on her. Should I tell her now I have herpes?
Mike, you say it is not a big deal…try to break the news to someone that you are dating, more than likely that will be the last time you see them…when will someone be courageous enough to start a public venue to get people to donate money for this to find a cure…many schools and companies are working on it but need funding…we create support in cash for other organizations, MS, AIDS,Alzheimers, breast cancer, autism, veterans, when will this become mainstream, too many peoples’ lives are being ruined from this disease and cannot dream to have a normal life and start a family with someone. PLEASE HELP FIND A CURE!! Thank you!
You know, the only way to get rid of the ridiculous social stigma of herpes would be for every person that had it, (1 in 5 Americans) to gather together and speak out…. But that would never happen because we are all too embarrassed
it seriously is horrible God statistically every fifth person that walks by you has herpes…I bet you that if everyone that had it admitted it the stigma would disappear, the minority would become the majority and it would not be looked at the same way ever again…..
If only we were all brave….if only we didn’t think less of ourselves for something that we cannot help….
I was just diagnosed with HSV. I’m married to a wonderful supportive wife and have two children. I have no clue where this virus came from. I believe it was dormant in my system. It all started at work. I became very stressed and thats what
cont. I think triggered it. I have been feeling like life is over. My children and wife have been keep my sanity without them I don’t think I can make it. It is a horrible disease. I just took my first pill. There needs to be a cure for this. I don’t care what people do they don’t deserve this..please god we need a cure.
um, I have an ex boyfriend who has herpes. I have not been tested yet because i’m afraid i have it. I’am with a great guy now and i have a lil girl by my ex. And so my question is what should i do bout my situation. I want to be with my boyfriend who does not have it but to afraid to get tested. I feel terrible cuz i have not had sex with many guys, my ex and the guy im with now r the only two. and so it would be not fair to have this. but also what r some signs of having it?
I was diagnosed about 11 years ago. My husband and I had been married for about 5 years. I was in nursing school and I remember having a Nurse Practitioner give me the diagnosis and then saying “it’s no big deal”. Of course it is a big deal! But you can still live your life. Yes, you will have to do things differently and make permenant lifestyle changes. But you can do it. Suppression therapy and living a healthy livestyle will make things more than tolerable. As for a cure, that will be difficult. Herpes is a virus and knows how to hide and protect itself very well. That is why it is so difficult to find a cure. This is the case with most viruses. It is also not considered “life threatening” so it is pretty low on the priority list of finding a cure. Another thing I want address is that I saw a poster comment that they were going to triple their dosage to “experiment”. PLEASE do NOT do this. Dont make any medication changes before consulting your MD or NP. Increasing dosage from perscribed will most likely only increase the ADVERSE (bad) effects of the drug and NOT the THERAPUTIC (good) effects. For those of you newly diagnosed, I know it is difficult but please know you can still live a happy, fufilled life. A lot of us here are testimony to that. Take your meds as perscribed, live healthy, be honest with yourself and your partner and life will, eventually, become not only livable but also enjoyable again!
i understand every one here is upset about having herpes. but wouldn’t you be more happier that you guys and girls didn’t get AIDS? i mean really you could of gotten AIDS for christ sakes. i have herpes and i was upset because i thought my life was over too. there are dating sites for people who have STDS. okay who ever said they couldn’t or can’t pass it to there baby while giving birth. i beg to differ valtrex isn’t 100% to guarantee from break outs. you could still pass it even if you don’t have a break out. the thing with herpes is that when i got tested while i was pregnant it didn’t show up on the std test. so about a few weeks later it burnt and hurt every time i walked. so i went to my doctors from my old job, so the doc did the test about almost a week later the doctors called me. told me yup your positive and gave me info of what i needed to do. example can’t use the same towel and wash cloth. so i asked her how come it didn’t show on my std test that i had. doctor said because i have a low count it wasn’t detected. so needless to say its hard to tested until you get a break out. at least it was with me. but there are people who can accept you for you but some are just complete jerks first they will tell you its okay but turn around and tell you no i don’t want nothing to do with you. but now i am back with one of my ex boyfriends who i been with since 2004 to 2008. now we been back together since 2010 and he loves me. its better to be honest than act like it never happened……….
Let me ask you guys something, I was diagnosed with Oral Herpes or Herpes 1 but I have ni symptoms, so can someone please tell me wht is it that two different doctors did not supply me with any kind of medications? They told methet cant supply me with zovirax or Acyclovir because I dont have any symptoms, is this accurate guys? Should I be supplied antivirals irregardless of symptoms or not?
Hello everyone. I have herpes too. Since November 2010. Im 26 years old. I know all too well how you men and women feel because I’m always rejected when I want to date. I usually feel like life is over. I wanted to cry so bad last night because someone won’t talk to me anymore because of herpes. He said he would kill himself if he has contracted it. Now this is what I have to live with the rest of my life. I have become asexual because of it. I am a tiny beautiful 5′ blue eyed brunette who has had very lil sexual experiences and now , having herpes no one will date me. I wish I could meet someone who would accept me for who I am. I wanna cry so hard…
Please someone find me a cure.
No one wants me. Someone wants to arrest me. I wish I could die. I hate being me I wish I was anyone else. Is there someone on this form who could accept me?
Well I wish you all well. I’m a 40 year old male and have had herpes since I was 20. You’d be surprised just how accepting people are when your honest, caring and a decent individual most people will overlook and even accept the fact that they may get it. As long as your honest. You can pass this disease when your not broken out it’s called shedding. So make sure that you tell your partner that also. Don’t wait till the last minute. Most will find that untrustworthy. I usually spill the beans on about the third date. I’m an attractive male been married used to bartend and have been with plenty of women over the years and can honestly say only been turned down once. Keep your head up get some valtrex and find decent people to date. 45 million people have this disease and the number is climbing. So your not alone.
As far as a cure? Well here’s my theory…there will not be one. As you can imagine unlike aids and cancer herpes is not life threating. Pharmaceutical companies make billions of dollars off treatment creams and drugs. Not to mention the labs that make money off of blood test and diagnosing. So I know we all wish there was a cure, does it suck yes. Is it big business at it’s best. Unfortunately yes. So, I’m just a skeptic that doesnt see companies giving up billions of dollars to cure a disease that doesn’t kill. Good luck everybody.;)
Your a tiny blue eyed brunett. Heck yes I’ll accept ya. See all is not lost. Reply and I’ll
Give you my email.;)
Even if you use a condom you can still get herpes. If their skin touches your skin and they have gential herpes you cna get it. If they have herpes on their penis or vegina when you have sex and you use protection and their skin touches your skin from being really close you can still contract the virus. Everyday I wake up and I pray to God for a cure for herpes. Herpes doesnt mean that your gross. Before I had herpes I had a total different veiw on the virus. I thought it meant you were nasty. But its not true. I hope that everybody on this site finds someone who will love them and help them threw the pain. I know thats my biggest worry is if I will be truley happy. I worked my whole life to try and be perfect and make a perfect future for myself. Now I feel like its impossiable with the virus. Im 19 years old and I recently found out I had herpes. I used a condom and caught it still beacuse their skin was close to mine. I feel ashamed and depressed. Ive always been extremely responsiable. But I guess GOD doesnt give us more than we can handle. Im glade that this site is here for all of us. EVeryone please keep praying for a cure. We all deserve to be set free from this burden and pain we all carry. When someone feels sad and depressed just read all these different stories and Know that we are all here for you going threw the same thing. SOMEDAY we will all be cured.
Im 20 years old , I was diagnosed with herpes last year 2011 of May, it was crazy I had just had a pap a few days after my BDAY results came back weeks later n the doctor said I was fine, weeks passed n I had a bladder infection but I also had sores which kinda confused me I went to my doctor n she said I had a bladder infection took my antibiotics n still felt bad, went back then she said I had this bacterial infection,she also had to bust a blister smh when she called with results I was told I had herpes n I was numb depressed n sad , didn’t have to worry about dating because I’m married my husband still loves me regardless but of course young marriages have rough points n I worry if I ever got divorced would a man still be interested, I’m also worried about getting pregnant n having a baby I was told I’d have to have a c section I hope they find a cure soon I will be first in line, I think there is a cure out there but they just don’t wanna put it out because then the pharmacy companies won’t make anymore money because everyone who’s affected will try to get the cure because there’s so many people out there with it
Hello everyone I’m really sorry we are all having to deal with this disgusting virus. I’m a 27 year old that’s turning 28 in exactly one week. I found out I had herpes back in 09 and I felt like my world had came to an end. I wanted to die cause aside from having Herpes I also have Multiple Sclerosis (MS)u would think the MS would be my #1 worry but some how Herpes feels like its so much more bigger. I’m actually also a Hopeless Romantic so I guess cause I want so bad to have someone that will love me and accept these 2 flaws and I know the stigma that walks hand in hand with the herpes I feel I will never find that great Love. I’m dealing with the pressure of being married and having baby’s now more than ever since most of my friends are either married or in love with their boyfriends. Sigh I just pray that my life does a turn around for the best and pray a cure is found in this life time. Good Luck to everyone with everything. PLEASE FIND A CURE!!!!!!
