I contacted genital herpes about 4 years ago. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years and have been sexually active for about 1 year. I have only had 1 outbreak since diagnosis and that was way before we were even together. I know I am a horrible person for never telling him from the start and I've always wanted to but never knew how to approach it. I was always so embarrassed by it and thought he'd be disgusted by me. I feel so ashamed of myself. We tell each other pretty much everything but this is the only thing I've ever kept from him. I love him so much and i really want this relationship to work. What do I do???
I would of brought it up before you guys ever had sex. It's not fair to him that you've been lying about something he can possible get as well that isn't crueable. You should probably tell him now rather than later but don't expect him to be okay with it, I bet he will wonder what else you lie about. I'm not sure how the right way of going about it but being honest now will be better than keep on waiting. Who knows, he may look past it and understand but again, now is better than later. I can only imagine though how hard it must be but keep your head up and be strong! Good luck to you!
You really need advice from a doctor. I believe that it is only infectious when active and that some people never or arrely have attacks.
You do need to use whatever treatment is available
Well get him tested and tell him because it is beyond unfair (don't wish to use the right word) as to what you've done to him. Also, keep away from foods containing Arginine because arginine cause flare ups. Take anti-virals like monolaurin, olive extract and cyprilic acid
