i was recently diagnosed also...although im not exactly sure how i got it..my boyfriend now says he doesn't have it..my ex was tested and doesnt have it but years ago i had unprotected sex with a jerk...i think i may have goten it from him but i had never had a breakout like the one i got almost a month ago...im gona make my bf now get tested..this was the most humilating thing i have ever dealt with and have no one to discuss it with..my bf wants me to talk to him but its so embarassing...him and my ex are the only ones who no...although my bf now is wonderful and understands...its not fair this happened..i have only been with 3 people!...with all these medical technologies how can they not have a cure?!...its not so much the virus itself thats the problem for me..its the social stigma...im devastated adn break down into tears whenever i see commercials on tv for valtrex or am watchin tv and people are makin jokes about it...im so ashamed....
