I have been tested periodically for other STI's, but herpes is not part of the standard screening so I have never been tested for it before.

I can't disagree with you. She's a great wife, but has never had the sex drive to keep up and is slowing down even more as she approaches menopause. I know it's impossible to tell for certain, but I really do think I acquired this recently and have had no intimate contact with my wife since...

The outbreak is ongoing. Four sores/lesions which are very uncomfortable (more of a burning/stinging than actual pain). They are starting to heal. I was diagnosed at the HFC and was told that anti-virals were not necessary. Thanks to info provided by SchlongConnery and others, I now realize...

Thanks to everyone who posted words of support and provided links to information in this thread and by way of PM's. In response to many questions I received, I will notify the spas and agencies I visited in the weeks prior to my outbreak. I got a lot of messages asking me to secretly and...

We haven't spoken much about it at this point and I think, for now, she is still processing the information and wants to believe that I could have unknowingly had oral herpes from before we were married and then transmitted it to her through kissing etc. and then it got transferred to my penis...

I have read similar stats, but it still seems different once you have a confirmed outbreak on your genitals. I agree it's not life-ending, but I really don't see how I can ever have a normal sex life again. I would not want to infect anyone else and can't imagine disclosing it to anyone...

I have no history of cold sores and I have read that if I did it would have made it less likely (perhaps even impossible) for me to have contracted genital HSV-1 from oral sex. However, I do not think that having cold sores (i.e. HSV-1) gives you much immunity from contracting HSV-2 on your...

I don't think I had it for a while. I had no prior history and then got a very clear outbreak last week. I had only seen 5 or 6 girls in the 3 week period prior to the outbreak and I really think it was one of the last two who gave it to me. I saw them on consecutive days so even if the first...

My wife does know that I have it, but not about my hobbying. I didn't mean to suggest that I had been on a particular rampage lately, I was just listing the types of places I had visited over the last few years to give people a sense of my activity and let you know that you don't have to be...

I assume you're suggesting that I won't stay retired and it has certainly crossed my mind that it may be easier said than done. I guess I will just have to jerk off a lot. I'm told that I am fortunate to have HSV-1 and that I might never have another outbreak and can take anti-viral meds to...

I am writing this as a cautionary tale to others. I don't want people to over react, but I'm sure some will and others will call me a liar and tell me this is a useless thread unless I name names. I will ignore those individuals because I think it is worthwhile to remind each other of the...
