I’ve struggled with HSV-2 since I got diagnosed over 3 years ago, I’m a female. I’m talking multiple outbreaks where your standard antivirals don’t really work. I never passed it onto my ex but we were doing long distance and most of the time if I had an outbreak he wasn’t there. I met someone new 4 months ago and he took the herpes part pretty hard but eventually accepted it on the basis that we’re careful and he doesn’t get it. We were very careful but I see him 3-4 times a week and it has been hard to sustain from sex though I don’t think we’ve done it on an outbreak but its hard to tell sometimes as i dont get symptoms before the sores appear. We use condoms most of the time. However he’s been getting a ‘rash’ on his thighs (where the condom dont cover the area) and last night was complaining of a twinge in his lower back. I feel so guilty as I think its just a matter of time. Im convinced he will be so angry and upset he will end it with me as he literally said to me i dont want to get it please dont pass it on to me on multiple occasions. I can’t eat or sleep and I’ve made myself sick with the guilt. has anyone been through this? Is there ever a happy ending to this kind of situation?
