It’s been a year since I’ve been infected and it’s been a depressing year. I hardly had sex since I’ve became HSV1 some women I have told about it and was turned down cause of it. And some I’ve had to turn down because I didn’t know how to tell them know. It’s bad enough as a guy I wasn’t really dealing with folks before being infected but now it’s 10x worse than ever like nobody may deal with me in any way now. I wanna put so much blame on the person that infected me but when I got tested in November of 2022, my number shown to be really high and I’ve been told by people that I could have had it before the encounter with her in September 2022 but didn’t experience any symptoms until November. I don’t know how I got it, either way it’s been a tough time on me and the depression is beginning to consume me.
