I know what your going through it will get easier. Did she know she had HSV-1 before your encounter?

yes, she knew but when we discussed STD she was thinking vaginal. She is taking it pretty hard too, feels like she is to blame.

Linear erosive herpes simplex virus infection in immunocompromised patients: the "knife-cut sign".
Does anyone else have this??

hi,
im 27... I recently met someone. I like him. He seems like the perfect guy. Nothing has happened sexually, and its been two and a half months... i knew that something was holding him back... thought maybe erectile disfunction ... Today he sat me down and told me he had herpes. it was really hard for him. i appreciate his honesty, and my feelings for him are the same as they were before he told me. i am std free, and very confused. i am allergic to latex... so lambskin condoms, which were my savior, may not be effective against protecting against stds. i dont know what to do. im sorry im spilling my guts to you, not even knowing you but you seemed to be knowledgeable about the virus. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for me. This may be the guy for me. He is wonderful, honest, and he sends me "goodnight angel" text messages. Please help me figure out what to do. - Day

This is definitely hard to suggest you to do. It is your choice. If he is worth it and you want to see where it goes, you should do it. But there will always be if he or you want to break up then it will be a little difficult trying to date again. I hav not found that it was difficult but some do. The guy I am dating now just told me about his 'deal breaker' as having kids with someone and I just had to tell him mine. It wasn't bad at all. Since you are the one allowing the virus to you, I think it is less difficult after you know you are ok with it. It won't kill ya!
