Today my boyfriend has been diagnosed with HSV type 2. The doctor did not make any blood test but he was pretty sure that it was that.

I am so scared that I might have it too because we had unprotected sex until we saw the beginning of a pimple on his penis. I feel so devasted that the love of my life has it and i’m scared for myself too. I don’t know how to react to it. I still don’t understand how he contracted it and it’s so hard to believe it.

He had partners before me but he always protected himself and I know he is not cheating. Is it possible that one of his ex-girlfriend had a cold sore and gave the virus to him and the virus only "activate" years later?

I took an appointement with my doctor but for now i’m stressing out because I don’t want to have it. I feel like it’s going to ruin my life and I just want get away from my life right now. How can I live and have a beautiful sex life with the constant fear that I will have it too?

I just need to talk so badly to someone that will understand my fear.😔
