Rough times indeed. Sorry to hear that. Glad you got it checked out though and that you're taking care of it.

All you can really do is inform your previous partner and its up to them if they want to have themselves checked out. You can't make them or even ask them what their results were if they don't want to share. I also wouldn't get on your girlfriend's case about her past. The past is the past and saying that someone else made poor choices will only force a wedge between you two. That's not what either of you need right now. Everyone needs to take responsibility for their own actions and roll through the punches like an adult.

Also it is possible for herpes to not show up for years later so it may have been from your first girl (problem with that is you'll never know) and if your current gf has the blood test done, you may very well have passed it onto her. Like you said, you haven't seen an outbreak on her. No point in playing the blame game here.

Hope you don't have an outbreak often though I really do.

That sucks

Other than my condolences, I did want to add that condoms don't fully protect against genital herpes as the virus can still get on the skin of your unprotected groin area and infect you. They help, but infection can definitely still occur which is a common misconception.

As David said, you can wear all the protection you want, you can still get the herpes virus. My gyne always gave me lectures when I was growing up about it and how to be safe. The sad thing is, your girlfriend probably was having safe sex with the guy who likely gave it to her. She would not even have known probably as my gyne once told me that some men can just be carriers of HSV2 and never have any outbreaks, but can still pass it along. Sorry you are dealing with all these issues on top of this. Also, are you sure if is HSV you are dealing with??? My sons best friend has Crohn's disease and he told me that when he was first going through it he developed these bumps all over his body even down there. He said he was sure it was herpes, but turns out it was a nasty form of yeast infection. They did a biopsy of one of the lesions to confirm it. Just saying, some diseases can have similar characteristics. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

I do not have Crohns or hsv 2 but started dateing somebody who was diagnosed a few years back with Crohns. They where just diagnosed with Hsv2 a few days ago. I was having unprotected sex with them i tested negitive for Hsv2. I em in medicicine so i have some backround in dealing with Barium studies and CT and MRIs and such upper and lower endo procedures. I know the complications of some of these diseases Crohn's,ibs,. We have only been daiting for 6 weeks but i em crazy about this person and might be falling in love. She is only in her mid 20s and me in my mid 30s. I have just been reading up on Hsv2 and Crohns and the drugs and complications. I have nobody to talk to because of the sensitivity of these subjects. I just know she needs me for support. In the last few weeks i truly care so much about her but think this alot for me to get into. What i mean by that is the sex life and future life of docters and meds diets possible sugeries and such .I know that its still eary on but i dont want to bail on her now or later. I told her first her health is the most important to me so i em taking her to the UM specialist on Crohns to see her. IDK what does anyone have to say?
