Guess which one I know about!!
There are several that are not cureable so you live your life with them.I have HSV genital Herpes. Dating knowing that there comes a time that I have to tell the woman who wants sex with me realy bad that I have an uncurable std really kills the moment and sends most of them into a spiral of what to do. "It could be love but what if it is not and i get it". Those are the thoughts they must think to be safe. Most people, like me get it from someone who did not know they had itbut sometimes it is just someone who does not care. Even with a condom there is some contact in the playing before sex that can make the transfer. So I walk among people like a lepper. Oh, nobody sees it but i know that 90% of the women I meet will have to say goodbye when I tell them about me, so I seldom even start a relationship. The disapointment is hard for me and I am sure it is harder for a young woman to hear the rejection. I am hoping some hot babe with the same problem will meet me here then we can just try a relationship like everyone else, those always work out great right!. If you have any questions about this virus or living with it I am more than happy to share what I know here or in an email. I do not need sympathy so please do not bother with it. My life is better than most I just have this one little difficulty. People all around us live with tramas in thier lives that make relationships difficult too. It is just part of the life we each get to enjoy the adventure as best we can.

I have a question. Maybe a couple.
Did you ever figure out who you got it from?
If so, how long after you had sex did you see some sign that you had it (realized at the time or not)?
Did you or someone else notify any past partners you may have infected but didn't realize it at the time?
I'm just curious. I figure nobody plans on getting an std and I'm sure I'm like quite a few others...hoping you always take enough precautions to avoid it. I could say..."luckily I've only had a few partners but I realize it only takes one and as you said, it can happen before intercourse.
I hope none of this was taken wrong. I am just naive I guess on the subject.
Thanks,
Bunnyears

I had slept with two women in the last month , both I had known for some time and were not party girls, I told them both the day i was diagnosed. neither knew anything about it and said it was not them. i never pushed to find out which one. It started with a tingle in one spot and the next three days I had six little blisters, they broke and then heald in a couple more days. an irritation not much pain. It starts about ten days after sex with an active person. That was a long time ago and it comes back about twice a year and each time less severe so that by now it is hardly noticable. In truth the girl who gave it to me could have not known what she had. It often is just a small iritation and goes away in a few days so unless she took a good long look at herself she would think it was just another rash. I have dated three women who when I told them what I had and shared the websites they discovered that is what they have had for a long time. One over ten years and it was the proof that her husband had been cheating on her because she remembered the first time she got the tingle and rash. Another's boyfriend used to say it was poisin ivy when he got the rash and gave it to her. He knew it and never told her. Another woman never remembered when it first happened but had had it for at least twelve years. She probabley gave it to her husband but he was a cheater and never mentioned it to her that he had gotten it. i have a friend from high school who is a professional and she told me that they look for any little bumps or scars from blisters and they condom everyone. It used to be they could only diagnose it if the blisters were wet but now they can check your blood at any time. My test actually came back negitive but the nurse said I should take the precautions like it was positive. I had not had a positive test result until four years ago with a blood test. Cold sores are the other kind and those would be kind of hard to hide.
Luckily it is not transmitted by internet sex or phone sex.
Hope that answers some of your questions
an old cowboy told me he always had a chaw of tobbacco in his mouth when he went down on a woman. If there were any sores down there she would start screamin. you might want to try that on your guys. I think tequela would work too.
Thanks for asking There are websight that tell more and in reality the guy can flat out say no I don't have anything just to avoid the rejection and you will not know the difference unless you use one of these test.

My ex husband has herpes and we had a wonderful sex life.
Our doctor was involved and we were very careful but had few complications with it.
I have never contracted the virus and we were together for 6 years.
There is love and even sex after herpes.
Thank God it was just herpes and not AIDS or the like.

It is cool that you were willing to take the risk but did you worry? I know when your in love nothing matters but what about near the end?

It is possible to have it and never noticed the outbreak. For some people the outbreaks are very severe and for others hardly noticeable. For me it is as minor as that uncomfortable feeling when a hair gets pulled by your clothing.

I never had a blood test but had a nurse renting a room here when I had a noticable out break and she confirmed it. My former wife had a blood test that confirmed it for her. Her outbreaks were a red ring on her tougue but no pain.
Just search herpes and there are many. it is very common because so many people do not know they have it and pass it on before knowing it.
thanks for your questions and postings it does make me feel less like a lepor. i post no picture becasuse when people find out they think it is real juicy gossip. Most recently I told a woman and she and her friends think I am a dirty old man now for something that happened to me 26 years ago.
I think it is like a car wreck, do all you can to protect yourself and then some fool braodsides you.
Be safe

Well like I say. At the time we were married. When I married him he was the one that I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with.
I Was worried a little bit but I loved him...
And like I say. My doctor was involved and we worked through it.
But I have never even had so much as a cold sore.
Maybe I am lucky or maybe we really were that careful. A little of both, maybe?

So many people dont know that if you have ever had a cold sore you have the herpes virus..there are 2 kinds HSV1 and HSV2. There is a dating site a friend of mine is on specifically for herpes.. MPWH or Antopia. She joined when she found out she contracted herpes and the support has been wonderful. She doesnt feel like a leper anymore and its not the end of the world for her. Good luck to you..chin up Herpes is not the end of the world..she is still the same wonderful person
