Dear Jeannie

Having a hard time dealing with it…

by admin on December 7, 2009

I am a 36yr old woman living with herpes 1. I had contracted it about a year ago. I guess the good thing that came out of this, is that I know who gave it to me and I had told him and now he knows. He did get tested and it turned out that he has both [...]

Did he give it to me?

by admin on July 21, 2007

Hi, I was diagnosed with HSV2 in April 2007.  I had a blood test in April 2005 and I was clear for all STD/STIs (including HSV2).  Between April 2005 and April 2007 I slept with one man.  Soon after our relationship became sexual (unprotected sex at his insistence – stupid me) I thought I had [...]

Is Casual Sex Out?

by admin on April 25, 2007

I’m a 34 year old guy. Single, attractive, confident (or at least I was before I got herpes). I like to go out and party with my mates. I’m not ready to settle down. I still want to hook up casually whenever I can, but if I tell someone that I have herpes that’s really [...]

Do They Go Away?

by admin on April 8, 2007

Dear Jeannie I had my 1st HSV out break last Nov. I take antivirals daily, however I have at least 1-2 unbroken blisters ALL of the time? Is this normal? It’s very annoying and doesn’t help my confidence. One more Q, would I be better off not taking antivirals daily? Will my body build up [...]

I felt so broken…

by admin on February 10, 2007

Dear Jeannie I was diagnosed with H around Oct/ Nov of ’06. It was just after the footy grand final… It hit me really badly. I felt so disgusting and dirty. I didn’t know much about the virus & honestly thought you could only contract it if you did the rounds so to speak… The [...]
