I woke up this morning to find a blanket of white covering my world. I live in the east of England and snow happens here about 2 days of the year so this is a very cool (excuse the pun) event. Having had a few too many drinks last night I have so far not ventured out into the wintery wonderland that is outside. In fact given the heating in my house is not working particularly well so I think that I might just stay in bed.
I have started on a course of supressive therapy. My last outbreak was one of the worst I have had - not very painful or itchy but it took a while to clear up. It has for now retreated and I have been prescribed acyclovir twice a day for the forseeable future. I think that having an outbreak is one of the hardest things about herpes - it is a constant reminder . I hope the supressive drugs stop me from having such regular outbreaks and that I might be able to reclaim a normal sex life (actually I want a fun sex life - I am not sure this means a 'normal' one but I think you know what I mean).
Talking about sex life I am sure you are itching (oh dear, another pun!) to know what happened with the 'new girl' that I was spoke about in my last post. Well, I told her! This was about 2 weeks ago - I found myself walking to her house and I had already decided that I had to do it. I was nervous but not as nervous as I had expected to be. I walked into her room and sat down and we spoke first about everyday things. I realised that the time had come and I just had to be a man and so I spoke.
I told her that I had something to tell her and she sat down and looked at me with her beautiful green eyes. I looked staight back at her and for a minute I couldn't speak. I took a deep breath and then the words came. I started by asking her if she knew what cold sores are and then I explained that I get cold sores, just somewhere else. I talked about what a common sti herpes is and I explained that with supressive medication, condoms and abstinence during and immediately after an outbreak the chance of transmission is incredibly small (this is difficult to quantify and I will talk about it another time). After about 10 minutes I realised that I probably should have prepared slides (joking!) and so I stopped.
She looked at me and then she kissed me.

I just started my blog today about my personal struggle with herpes. I found it interesting that you also did not know that it laid dormant for years. I definitely didnt, I thought that I had never gotten an outbreak that the only logical person that could give it to me was my current bf but I was wrong. I look forward to reading more of yours!

I hope that when I start dating I find someone as loving as your lady sounds.
Mr Herpes Man-
I appreciate your blogging and telling us about your dealing with herpes. I recently got infected with genital herpes via a similar scenario as you (I've always worn condoms and never thought this could happen) so it's been really helpful to hear about someone else going through this. I'm not sure I'm ready to open up and tell people (or especially a girl I am interested in) about my "situation". But hearing your (and other people's) stories gives me hope and makes me realize that it's not the end of the world. Would love to hear the next part of your story...
Thanks!

oh, and thanks for starting this blog!
I've only just found this blog an it is so like myself, I found out in January 2008 I was HSV2+ after similer 'trauma' and too have no idea where this came from.
All the emotions and situations you're described have happened to me, I'm an early 30's lad, with a good job, great friends and a brilliant life, and from nowhere this happened. I too was careful, but have been a single lad for 5 years so I suppose I've been exposed more than some.
I too have recently started dating and am currently in the how do I tell her phase, as this is the girl for me (long story but we have history), how do I break this to her without losing her again? It's very very tough.
Please please please keep blogging, all the crap I've read on the infection can be quite depressing on the messgae boards and this blog seems to connect with me!
Me to, please read...
