I'm so upset...?!


Question: So I think I have genital herpes. I made an appointment for tomorrow with the std clinic so I'm ready to do damage control but I have this problem. I've been dating my guy for a year, no problems whatsoever, so why now? Will he think I cheated on him, which I definetly did not. Will he break up with me? Think I'm a gross ****? He's had more sex partners than me and he'/s a little bit older, I've only had 2. I haven't told him yet, but I will of course.

So I sent had a text conversation about it.

me: "Hey we should get tested for stds soon. just in case"
him: "Lol, okay sure. How come?"
me: "saw somethin on tv about it, hehe"
him: "k cool, what do you think is the grossest std"
me: "idk, probably chlaymidia or somethin. you?"
him: "i think genital warts is the grossest"

Well, im a little worried... he mentioned to me that he's perfectly clean but my past boyfriends were a long time ago, had no stds, and we used protection. Could my current boyfriend be the one that gave it to me?

STD's are not the worst thing in the world. There are treatments readily available. It does take a lot of courage to get tested though. So i do commend you on that. When i was diagnosed with herpes, my boyfriend thought i had cheated on him. I knew i didn't, and after a while he came round to believing me. However, to this day and now we have broken up, he still denies he has genital herpes. Which is impossible as he was my first and at that time only sexual partner so he had to be a carrier. He is now in another relationship, and was when he was still seeing me and she doesn't know about the herpes. The worst thing you can do is not talk about with him. Once you get all the facts and find out whether you have herpes or another std or none at all, then doctors will answer any questions. But seriously, herpes is not as bad as people think. Good luck.

well keep this in mind, you only had 2 previous partners, but in essence, you had sex with those two and each one of the people they had sex with and each one they had sex with, do you get it? the only way to prevent getting std's is keep to your self and look for a partner who is a virgin also. Good luck and i hope its just stress on your part.

Herpes is extremely easy to catch. And it's basically impossible to get rid of. I'm sure that you can catch it from a partner that isn't showing any signs of the disease. Get a positive test result before you go ballistic on him. You must be having an outbreak to get a positive result. A blood test won't be enough.

Your current boyfriend could have definetly been the one who gave it to you. certain STD's can lie dormant for weeks, months, even years. I would def. get tested and encourage him to get tested also. You don't want to be passing things back and fourth between the two of you.

Welll i think he did!!
:[
If u only had 2 previous partners and
they were clean then it wasnt them..
So as long as u are tellin the truth and
have been totally clean since the last 2 people then
it is him..
:[[

It's possible that he may have given it to you or one of your past boyfriends.

Herpes can lie dormant for years with no symptoms and if you go and get a checkup at your doctors the herpes test isn't on the list so even if someone went to the doctors to get an std test and they came out clean it doesn't mean they don't have herpes or hpv.

Heres a good article to get you thinking about what to do and say when talking to your boyfriend about it. You don't want to scare him off or make him mad. http://yourstdhelp.com/talking_with_your...

you can never really know when you get herpes because you never know when you are going to have an outbreak. if your boyfriend dumps you because you do have it then you don't need him. he should except you for your flaws not judge you on them. good luck and i hope this helped
