I just got my results last night and tested abnormal for herpes 1 through labcorp, been super sad and depressed all morning and day, cried in my car before going into the gym today, I did a lot of reading since I know people reply with “it’s no big deal it’s just type 1” but the fact of having herpes and having to disclose it with future partners just gives me a hopeless feeling, I feel like I’m going to get rejected so many times my dating life was already horrible to begin with I only slept with a girl once every 2-3 years if I was lucky, I’m a super sweet friendly guy gym rat total health nut so finding this out was so devastating, just looking for assurances my life is not over and I guess a boost of confidence I’m well In shape and not ugly at all no one would guess I have it since I promote health so much I’m so scared how people are going to view me now if it gets out, I’m so scared and sad I haven’t told anyone Reddit has been my venting mechanism all day please send help, advice, words of encouragement
