Just Diagnosed with Herpes, Feeling Lost and Broken

my boyfriend was taught the same thing. I was his first and he's still safe. I take him to get tested when I get tested. I would try to recondition your brain to feel different. I was taught the same thing. I was ostrichized and outcasted at my highschool and girls I was best friend with. If you ever need a friend just text me and we can chat

Hi friend. I'm sorry you have been feeling like this and I hope you're doing better. To keep your partner safe, the best thing you can do is take your medicine and be conscious of how you feel and if you even have a tingle that feels like an outbreak TELL THEM! Do not engage in any intercourse out of precaution.aybe find other ways to find intimacy during that time. That's how my partner and I have delt with my diagnosis ( we started dating 2 years after I was diagnosed and I was worried that I would pass it to him and he would get upset because I'm his first , I get it. ) Please feel free to reach out at any time.
