Ive been looking through the posts for days now. I didn't see anything that helped. Maybe I am too tired, or too stressed or my butt hurts too bad,to see what I am looking for...Somebody please help! Oh ya, got the call from the dr...is positive. BF still stuck on "STD's not being that big of a deal"...and not really wanting to go get tested...is it me or is it A REALLY BIG DEAL!! Shame on me for trusting, we were friends for 6 months before the big "first date" 6 1/2months ago that didn't stop until I had this outbreak...Now I feel like my bod, sexlife, and relationship are going down the tubes....

You need valtrex or some other kind of prescription. Most people have great luck with it. I can't believe they didn't give you any when you were there.I would tell the bf to get screwed.... Bad enough he probably gave you herpes. He very well may have it and not know it. It's very common, one in five people have it, and a lot of people walk around not knowing it. Some people never have outbreaks. He needs to have a blood test done. It will show antibodies regardless of whether or not he's ever had actual symptoms. I feel really badly for you. It's not fair, and if he was any good kind of boyfriend at all, regardless of where you got them from, it should be something you are dealing with together. And if you two have had unprotected sex, he most likely has it too. (Even though I think that's where you got it in the first place since usually you have an outbreak within a few weeks of contracting it...)

He finally agreed that he would go..but that is starting to become a deal for the relationship forum...he did admit that he could have had it...and we had a big blow up over some other stuff too.....GOD IT FELT GOOD TO GET IT ALL OFF MY CHEST...seems like this is gonna be a defining moment in the relationship... Coolness in some sort of weird way....

Oh, FYI, I asked my girlfriend who has herpes what she does for temporary, immediate relief and she told me she uses Gel Kam too. A lot of retail drugs stores and pharmacies have it behind their counters. Call a couple places and ask!
