haven't been diagnosed by blood test yet

But according to dr. Clinically she said it looks like herpes. I've done nothing but cry and be depressed since the visit. But weird is thing is the blister was there long enough to go to the dr. And then gone. One day one meds. Then like a raw sore was there. Now waiting on the test results. What I don't understand is that from what I read it take 1 week to 21 day from exposure to break out I've only been with my husband. But for a brief time we separated he slept with 2 women with a condom and I slept with 1 guy with out a condom. I don't get it. Can someone please explain this to me. Did my husband give this to me? Does he have it to? Is he just a carrier? My brains won't stop. Plz help!!

Hi unkn,

Sorry to hear about your ordeal.

It is important to know however that genital herpes is very much a manageable condition, and the severity and frequency of outbreaks will usually decrease with age. For some people, it's possible for symptoms to completely go and away and not return after a couple of years.

Herpes can be transmitted through protected and unprotected sex. Does your husband have symptoms too? It is possible to have the virus but display no visible symptoms. The only way for him to know if he has it is to get tested.

Hope that's a help.

 

Well here is the question you didn't answer if it takes 1week to 21 days to show signs of infection wouldn't I have gotten it from him? We've been back together now 4 months with unprotected sex. He shows no signs of anything.  I feel so disgusting, dirty,not sexy, I don't even want to wear sexy clothes for him now. The thought of sex now just sickens me. I've just spent days crying laying in bed I don't want to see anyone or talk to anyone. My depression is getting worse. I feel like everyone can tell. And as fast as the bumps came they went. Sorry for rambling on. I have no one but my husband and here to talk to about this.

I'm dealing with the same problem. I'm waiting for tomorrow so I can get tested. One thing I do know from reading about gh is don't stress ur self out it'll only make matters worse n bring on the sores. I feel like u feel dirty nasty unattractive. I used to love sex n lust a lot now I don't like sex it scares me. But we must live with this..
