Hi Team, a while back my ex was diagnosed with herpes..I stayed with her, we had sex a lot then one day she dumped me...I was devasted by the break up but feared I’d contracted herpes & have to deal with it all alone..I waited 5-6 months before getting tested and my results came back negative negative negative IGG!
Now, for discordant couples, there is still lots of hope. My ex never used medication but when we had sex, I kept my shorts on to reduce skin to skin contact. (I know some people may be offended by that but I’m happy I did because look, she dumped me and nothing back then matters now) We kissed a lot and she performed oral sex on me quite often. I could say I’m Fortunate enough to not contract the virus.
I’d love to help answer questions. A diagnosis is not the ending of the world but I was prepared to simply approach relationships in a different way!!
