betterthandarkchocolate asked: You try and be supportive to everyone who joins this page looking for help, information or just a shoulder to cry on, it's about time the people of this page return the favor. I noticed you seem to be going through a tough time emotionally yourself. I hope everything is okay and that you are coping. Remember we're here to mutually support each other. :)
hidden-albatross asked: I saw your post about confronting the person who possibly had given it to you. You already know not to blame yourself. It is simply how life came together and how it is. Second, please know that there still is a possible chance he may have given it to you. There are people out their whom are asymptomatic. Aka, they are carriers, much like my ex. It happened to me too. My ONLY partner came back...
Anonymous asked: Please don't cry, he honestly wouldn't know if he has it or not, he probably didn't know he had it when he gave it to you. Be strong xoxo

He says he doen’t have anything. That he’s been tested and now I feel absolutely terrible,and really alone. I’m about to start crying in the middle of class. Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.
Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, you are not alone.
A couple things could have happened. He could have been tested “for everything, Doc,” but not for herpes. A lot of...

On Hope
thefrenemy:
Somebody asked me what made me feel hopeful. Here’s my answer:
Days I wake up and feel happy even though I have nothing to look forward to
Days I wake up and know exactly why I feel happy and that’s the best

fuckyeahsexeducation:
Cold sores ARE oral herpes. Most commonly, whenever someone is a child they can get herpes from a family member who gets cold sores kissing them. A LOT of people don’t know that cold sores/fever blisters are herpes and can be spread to the genitals. I’ll see posts on tumblr where people will say things like “got another cold sore, don’t worry it’s not herpes!” or “don’t...

Things I knew from high school science class: Viruses reproduce by hijacking a healthy cell and turning it into a virus parts factory, spitting out enzymes and proteins and using the cell’s normal functions to assemble them into new viruses. ZOMBIE CELL. The cell keeps manufacturing parts and building them into viruses until it bursts and the new viruses spill all over the place,...

The guy that gave me the HSV was just fling. My first (and really only) real fling. We have mutual acquaintances and chatter a few times online before we met but it was never supposed to be anything more than some movies and a make out session.
When I got my diagnosis, I fell into a horrible depression, I didn’t know what to do with myself and the last thing I wanted to do was confront...
Anonymous asked: Thank you! Because I have also recently thought I had eye herpes as well. Lol, I was investigating my eye and looking up how common it was. This whole thing just leaves me with so much uncertainty. Hm, should I just try to schedule an appointment with a doc? I just feel like I'm going crazy sometimes. I guess sometimes I just feel like my whole body is a biohazard, if that makes sense. I...
Anonymous asked: I'm starting to fall into depression. I had come to start to accept my what I believe is HSV2 in the genitals. Then now I have bumps in my throat, they look nothing like the bumps that were down there and nothing like I've seen as genital herpes in the throat online, however, knowing my life likely I'm sure it is. I thought this was over, I can't believe this is happening, life...

Anonymous asked: Hi how are you?hope all is well. I've been reading about herpes all day. Intially I thought you either had hsv1 or 2. And one would be oral while two would be genitals.. But now I'm reading you can have hsv1 or hsv2 orally or gentials and vise versa. Now how does this work so confused

I'm okay with being single
Most of the time, I prefer it. I can do what I want, when I want, and I don’t have someone snooping through my phone all the time. I just wish I had someone here to kiss my cramps away. :(

I'm sorry I freaked out a little bit earlier
I love everyone’s questions and I’m basically an open book. I’ll answer any question as honestly and knowledgeably as possible. It’s just that I have coworkers, acquaintances and my old boss on my personal Tumblr and I’m not comfortable talking about my status on there publicly, so I panicked when I saw the ask was posted on it instead of on here.
Again, I apologize...

Sweet jesus.
GUYS. When you’re sending me anons about my STA status, PLEASE send it HERE. Not to my personal blog. I can’t tell which blog you’re sending it to on the aggregate messages. I’m not ready to talk about my STA on my personal blog yet.
Excuse me while I calm down. I’m shaking.
And no, I haven’t been diagnosed with HPV.
The annoying part is that I follow him on Tumblr...
I see you ignoring me, RD. I SEE YOU.

If he doesnt, then fuck him :) Trust me, if you enjoyed it, HE enjoyed it, if...

dxglitter:
Well, that depends on where it shows up. And, I assume, on whom.
When I went to my doctor for what ended up being my herpes diagnosis, I asked her what it might be. She said it looked like a virus, which among other things could be herpes. “Does it look like…that?” She carefully avoided giving me a direct yes or no, but explained that herpes takes on many forms.
Personally, I’ve...

Hep C Deaths > HIV Deaths in Americans
missmd2be:
“More Americans now die from hepatitis C infection than from HIV, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.
The rate of HIV deaths has been falling while the rate for hepatitis C has been rising and the two curves crossed each other in 2007, according to Kathleen Ly, MPH, and colleagues.
In that year, they wrote in the Feb. 21 issue of Annals of...

I'm officially in The Bone Marrow Registry
I had to mail in a cheek swab test about a month ago and I just got notified that I’m in the system now. Since I know they do a bunch of screening, does that mean I don’t have to go get that HIV test? I probably will anyways because I’m neurotic and paranoid, and that’s why I do ahaha.
In other news, I got an email from !SeniorPeopleMeet Dating!

contradictme asked: Last year, I found out I have HSV-1 in the worst imaginable way: my girlfriend started showing symptoms. Naturally she was mad at me, and I felt (feel) like a total ass because I thought I had been more careful (I still don't know when, from whom, or how I contracted it). At one point, I thought things had gotten better between us, but it turns out she's still a little resentful. Do...
