Intimacy: Today, my boyfriend was really stressed about a guy he works...

Today, my boyfriend was really stressed about a guy he works with being a jerk. I told him "if you ignore something long enough, it won't bother you anymore." His response was "I've ignored my herpes for a long time but it still bothers me." We've been having sex for 3 months now. FML

Today, my boyfriend, who I have been seeing for a year, decided to tell me that he has herpes and has not taken any precautions to stop it from passing on. We have had unprotected sex quite a lot over the last year, so now I most likely have herpes too. FML

Herpes goes to Monaco

Today, after receiving a negative herpes test four months ago, my doctor called me and told me it was a false negative and I’ve been living with herpes for four months. I then had to tell everyone I’ve slept with about it, and worst of all my new boyfriend broke up with me. All in one day. FML

Too little, too late

Today, my boyfriend of three months told me he's going to get tested for STDs, because he's worried about a previous partner. I'm grateful for his thoughtfulness, but I'd be even more grateful if we hadn't already slept together several times. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 2 months and I had sex for the first time last night. This afternoon he texted me saying, "I had an amazing night with you yesterday." Following that text he said, "I forgot to tell you I have an STD." FML

Today, I found out I have herpes. I'm 9 months pregnant and have only been with my husband. It just so happens that our roommate just got over herpes. I thought they were just spending time together, bonding. FML

Today, we're in the middle of a contagious deadly pandemic, and despite not having physical/sexual contact with anyone in over a year, I managed to contract herpes. I don't even know how I got it. FML

You should have had him get tested first.

And that's why they give all these classes on safe sex. All for naught, apparently. Condoms. Look into them. Testing. Look into it. Also, your bf for the fail. Good honesty there, jackass.

You've been having sex for 3 months now & failed to notice something like that down there? The ****.

Wow. There are a lot of people here uneducated about herpes. First of all, in most cases, it hardly does anything -- the stigma is worse than the actual virus. Second, there can be months or even years between outbreaks. If he didn't have an outbreak, there would be no sores, therefore she wouldn't notice. Obviously, she should immediately get tested, but if he did not have an outbreak at any point when they had sex, there's a much lower chance that it was passed on to her. Herpes really isn't a big deal, though. Most of the time, it's dormant. When you have an outbreak, you'll get sores and sometimes some flu-like symptoms, vaguely like you're sick. You take some acyclovir till it goes away, and that's that. Till next outbreak...
