Hi,

I just received a positive test for herpes. I’m having some genitals symptoms even though I’m type 1 (I don’t quite understand everything yet).

I don’t know how to deal with it. I’m just crying non stop in my couch. I understand it’s not life threatening, but it still affects me a lot.

I’m 26, only had two long time partner in my life, still with the second one (he is the one that infected me because he didn’t know it was possible even without symptoms).

I just need reassurance I think, it’s very hard mentally.

I’m sorry if my typo is off, English is not my first language and I’m typing this with a full load of emotions.
