I just found out I have simplex 1 not to long ago.. one of my closest friend found out her boyfriend was cheating on her and we decided to go get tested she also was staying by my house for a few days after she found out and had came by probably 2 weeks before she found out he cheated.. I usually always get tested especially after or before dating anyone new and my results were always negative for Std testing the doctor also told me that they usually don’t test for herpes when they’re doing Std testing which was a little weird to me because in the past when I would get tested I would always ask them to test me for everything and it would come back negative.. SO me and her got tested and a few days after they called me and told me I had it I was completely torn and shocked like it literally felt TERRIBLE that was the worst feelings I ever felt especially because the lady told me you can’t get rid of it. I couldn’t even tell my friend at first because I didn’t know if she tested positive for it because her results didn’t come back yet and I didn’t want her to think I was the one who gave it to her …. Then she found out she had it as well and she exposed her boyfriend and let him know she found out he was cheating and he gave her HSV 1 He got tested for it and his results were also positive.

SO it kinda confirmed we both contracted it through him .. ( me and my friend sometimes use eachothers makeup or we possibly caught it from eachother by eating off each other) .. I just really feel like shit because I never would of thought It would happen let alone this way.. Now that I know I have it I kinda don’t know how to go about my life anymore especially my dating life I don’t even want to talk to any guys anymore Dating was already annoying for me in the past and now I feel completely hopeless lol. And then I now have to explain that I have an STI to whoever I decided I get serious with I can’t kiss anymore nor give or probably receive oral It just really bothers me…. Can you guys Please give me some advice or anything that helped you with your situation?
