I was raped in August of this passed year, by a man with herpes. And though I’ve been tested and a had a negative result there is still a chance I could have gotten it. I’ve been with the father of my child for 4 years now and he’s been more supportive than anyone. He always reminds me “ I’m not going to let a stupid rash ruin our life so why would you” he doesn’t care. (About the herpes). I beat myself up for soo long. Tearing myself down at the though of giving someone hsv. And when I bring up my fear he simply replies” if it’s going to be me and your forever and we both have it, then does it really matter” these are things I never expected to hear. So don’t lose hope. And remember it’s just a rash. It’s not big deal life goes on and people who judge for a rash aren’t worth your time anyways
