Hello everyone! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on this page. I felt the need to come on here and apologize to those who have messaged me in the past that I didn’t respond to. I hope you found your answers and I hope you’re doing well ❤️ I’m not on here really anymore (I check in maybe once every 3 months). But I guess a quick update is that I am dating an amazing guy who doesn’t care about my herpes status, and I hope you all find a love like this one day. ❤️
I'm 17 and about a month ago I was diagnosed with type 2, I've had two break outs and when I found out I couldn't tell you how long I cried for. I was so scared to tell my partner (already moved out and in college) because we don't use protection. I thought my relationship was over and he was going to be disgusted by me. He still loves me the same, yes it sucks having it but it doesn't make me any less of a person I am.
I love stories like this ❤️❤️❤️ you are always worthy of love and I'm glad your partner can see that.
hi I'm new to Tumblr and new to herpes! The first day that I found out I was very suicidal but I'm feeling a lot better already. Its a very confusing diagnosis because I do not have any symptoms and I've never had an outbreak... I just tested positive for HSV-1 and I have not idea if its oHSV or gHSV. So I don't know how to approach my life... Do I assume I have gHSV or oHSV? Its so confusing.
I'm a little confused by the results as well, how did you get diagnosed? Did they take a blood sample?
I was just diagnosed yesterday, I currently feel like I was hit with a sack of bricks. The stigma is real and the information commonly known is very slim. I have learned so much in the past 24 hours and with blogs like yours I'm feeling like I'm quickly accepting it. Thank you. Currently contacting my partners in the last 6 months since my last negative test (which was only in march!) I'm so scared of their reactions. One is prominently polygamist in my social circle and I'm worried he'll flip
I'm glad my blog could help :) keep researching, their is a lot of info out there! And I'm proud of you for contacting partners, it's so scary to do that but it is the right thing. If anyone does flip out, they don't deserve to be in your social circle. Simple as that.
(1/2) hi! i just wanted to say i love your blog and i would like to share my story. i had my first outbreak about a month ago and tested positive from a culture swab for GHSV2. i remember sobbing in the exam room, feeling "dirty," broken, and enraged at the person i believed i got it from, even though they didn't know. the pain of the first outbreak definitely adds to the shock of finding out. but with acyclovir and steroid and numbing creams helped the outbreak clear up within a week.
(2/2) in almost no time at all, I started seeing someone. I told them I wanted to wait to have sex and they loved the idea. I thought wanted to put off disclosing until the last possible second, but I ended up disclosing a few nights ago. I was relieved when his reaction was one of sympathy and not judgement and his questions came from a place of concern. I'm sharing this so people know it is possible to have a love life after an HSV diagnosis. if anything i am grateful that it filters douchebagI'm so happy for you 🤗 and happy to share your story!
When herpes entered my life, however, it was undeniable. And so I acted accordingly: I disclosed to partners. I encouraged them to get tested. I taught myself everything about the virus that sex ed had failed to. I taught my partners those things too, discovering in the process just how little my peers knew about STIs. Aware that people who spread herpes are conceived as selfish, deceitful, heartless, I tried to be the opposite. I was afraid of being seen as the type to transmit without giving a crap about the consequences.
What It Feels Like To Give Your Partner Herpes | Tonic (via unfriendlyhsvhottie)
I have had herpes for a year now before i found this blog i have never felt so alone:( being a virgin at the age of 20 then sleeping with my current boyfriend i couldnt believe two days after i found out what he had gave me, this blog makes me feel like i am not alone, thank u😍
Glad I could help you 💕💕😘
Hey, different anon, but I just wanted to chime in and say that herpes can be spread by more than genital to genital contact! I also have genital HSV1, and contracted it from oral to genital contact (why it's possible to have genital HSV1 and oral HSV2). But also good news--genital HSV1 is the most difficult to spread, if you have oral HSV1 (i.e. if you've ever had a cold sore) and do have contact with genital HSV1 it's really unlikely you'll contract genital HSV1 as well. Not a doctor, but +
(Cont'd) super relevant to my own situation and I've done a good amount of research on HSV1 and HSV2 in different areas because of it c: Also, thanks for your amazing blog!! It helped me a ton when I was first diagnosed! You're an angel ❤️Hey! You're totally right! :) The most common cause of new cases of herpes is genital HSV1 because it's not common knowledge that cold sores is actually HSV1 and can be transferred to the genital area. I said that more because it seemed the anon was worried they could give someone herpes by simply being in a tanning bed which is not possible. But thanks for spreading the herpes knowledge! :)
Thank you so much for creating this tumblr! I have recently been diagnosed with genital HSV-1 and this page has truly helped me cope. I am also getting a Bachelor of Science and trying to improve my health. I have been feeling pretty down lately and I have been working out to try to raise my self-esteem. I was curious, can you still go tanning with this skin condition?
Hi there! Glad my blog could help you :) and I don't see why not! Herpes is only spread through genital to genital contact, so tanning should be perfectly fine!
nobody talks about how ugly taking care of yourself can be
yes, sometimes it’s taking a warm bath and texting memes to friends and keeping an aesthetically pretty journal.
sometimes it’s crying silently on your couch at 3am, hugging yourself and reminding yourself that you’re a good person.
self care is not always ‘aesthetic’ and cute…and that’s ok. don’t be embarrassed, just do what you need to do.
Reading your profile made me feel 1000 times better.... I don't personally have herpes but my boyfriend does and we found out yesterday. It's been a really fucking rocky 24 hours. I am scared. But reading your things are easing my mind to as if I get it...
Yayyyyy!! That seriously makes me so happy to hear :) I started this blog for everyone, HSV+ or not, to educate about something that so many people don't know anything about.
Random post: anyone live in San Diego? Just moved here and looking to make new friends 🤗
Consenting to sex does not mean consenting to an STD if you are not aware the person you are sleeping with has one. I did not consent to an STD, my consent was taken from me as were millions more on this planet. To tell someone by consenting to sex they are consenting to an STD is akin to telling a woman she consented to a child by having sex, or telling a woman she was asking for it after she was raped. You are victim blaming and in this already fucked up society who has enough of that, you are joining the crowd of Brock Turners, the parasites who walk amongst this earth, the liars, the manipulators. You are a genuine piece of shit.
Darling you give herpes a bad name (via herpesandhappy)
If I wrote a book about my sexventures as an HSVg+ girl would it get read?
In it would be stories that rage from hysterical to erotic to relatable. I would talk about how I disclose to my partners. I would write about how sexy condoms are, both male and female. I’d write about sex after diagnosis, and how three little letters couldn’t break me; only turn me into a safer sex partner and a stronger lady.
Yes, I've got herpes and I'm still promiscuous.
I will not apologize for who I am I will not change who I am to better fit what people expect me to be.
I’ve had herpes for nearly 6 years, and since my diagnosis I’ve had well over 50 partners who I’ve practiced safe sex with. Not once have I transferred it to anyone else. Though I’ve had past lovers come to me after contracting it from someone else because they feel comfortable talking to me about it.
If someone wants to throw my status in my face I let them. You want to call me a diseased whore, that’s all you. I am confidant in who I am, and a small (minuscule, even) part of me is herpes. However, if you have the gall to go after my partners and/or their decision to sleep with me I will make your life miserable. Good luck getting laid here, dude, I’ve got pull in the three overarching social groups. That shit is out of line.
It's been awhile
I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry for being gone so long. I opened the tumblr app today for the first time in ages and started scrolling through my inbox (not messages) and my heart broke reading the hundreds of you who dealt with new outbreaks or were just reaching out for a friend and support. I'm sorry I was not there for you. I'm sorry I did not respond to your message. I hope you are doing well, and you found someone who gave you light and love to get through your situation. I will do my best to be back on here more and talk to you all.
Herpes and Assholes
“Coming to you because I admire you so much, you don’t have to answer this but I’d really appreciate your help. I was diagnosed with genital hsv 1 months ago and I’m really losing the plot. Even though I know it’s not true, I genuinely believe I will never be loved again.
When I told my fwb of 2 years he said that things between us had to end immediately and then he told 2 of our mutual friends and that was already heartbreaking. Last night I was hanging with a guy that I have some history with and he was fingering me and I decided to disclose. He immediately started freaking out and said that he had to wash his hands because it’s contagious and he couldn’t believe I didn’t tell him before (even though I’ve only had the one outbreak 2 months ago.)
These are two guys I really trusted and it’s so painful to be rejected by both of them, even though I now know they’re dicks. I’m put off disclosing to anyone, I can’t deal with this pain. Maybe this is a sign I’m supposed to be alone.”
FUUUUHUUUUCKKKKK THESE GUYS
Girlfriend, I don’t even know why you chose these dudes to be FWB, they are legit assholes. Herpes has this awesome way of immediately flushing out absolute the turds and tards, and although it hurts and you feel like you’re going to be alone forever, I promise you there are so many more guys out there who would bow down at the chance to have you.
Seriously, forget these couple of douche canoes
And these guys were only FWB to begin with, it’s not like they held a special place in your heart shaped locket hanging from your neck everyday. Any reasonable, decent human being is smart enough to deduce that herpes is a fucking stupid, over-stigmatized “disease” that shouldn’t be a negative factor when it comes to another person. If ANYONE reacts the way these guys did, you RUN the hell away from them ASAP. Herpes does not say one word about you, but it speaks VOLUMES about the people around you.
Thank the lord Jesus himself that he saved you from these assholes and don’t let them stop you from doing ya sexy thang. As soon as you realize who you are and what you’re worth (Which is one powerful, strong, BABE of a woman who deserves nothing less than love, lust, a good fuck, a great fuck buddy, an amazing relationship, the whole shebang, the whole nine yards), rejection won’t touch you.
Fuck me because I have herpes?
Nah, fuck you bro, your loss
