Hi, I’ve had this since 2018. Frankly, I am doing well and have lived a good life so far. I’ve been married since 2009 to a man who doesn’t have it. I’ve never passed it to anyone. Honestly, my list of sexual partners is rather short. Herpes definitely kept me from engaging in casual sex. I have a solid marriage and feel good about myself despite having to deal with outbreaks. I have no children. Only my husband, my physicians and former boyfriends know about my diagnosis. I am happy to have this website to share with other women.
