 Thank you Angela for sharing your experience strength and hope.
I'm a 55 year old male who was diagnosed with hsv-2 about 2 years. Male or female I think we all deal with the same issues that come along with this situation. Fear of rejection, feelings of unworthiness, alone. To me it felt like I was the only who had herpes. Not so, thanks to
sites like yours, reading
the stories makes me feel like
I'm not alone. Some stories are heart breaking and I really feel for them. I can really relate to there experience.
I've had to deal with tons of negative thinking on my part. If anything this situation has humbled me, for the better, has put me closer to God, and new resources have developed in me. Thank you again and I would like to thank all those courageous people who have shared on this site.

Angela.
I am so sorry to see this. I am so proud of you and
your website. Because of your site I can openly say to anyone "I have herpes". I take Valtrex every day and have for 2 years because that is what my doctor recommended. Your site gave me the courage to not shrink into a corner but to stand up and fight to have as normal a life as possible. I'll add that I use Seasonique for my birth control since it limits my menstrual cycle to only 4 times a year and my period is when I usually get an outbreak. I take Prozac to manage my depression and Claritin to manage my allergies. All recommended by MY personal physician. Feel free to print any of this wherever you want. I invite anyone to just standup and tell people about their
personal experiences. If it helps just one person then a good service has been done. ~Cindy
You are awesome! ~Tammi
Hi, I just wanted to leave u this email to say thanks for having the courage to make the
herpes site. It
truly helped me. I was told i had herpes earlier this year and reading the
stories and hearing that i was going to be ok was the biggest thing for me. Im still worried a little but im sure after having it a while i will get better with this. Again THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, you are a wonderful person.

You Are
Beautiful Inside And Out .
Thank You So
Much!
I have found your website very resourceful and more positive and optimistic than
other sites I have stumbled across. Thanks for your boldness and courage to
share your story. ~Kim
Thank you so much for creating
this site. I am newly diagnosed with
HSV 2 and your site has helped to educate and empower me. I know I will visit it regularly from this point on. It is not easy being diagnosed with HSV 2, but knowing that I am not alone and that I can still have a happy, healthy life with a husband and kids, etc. really helps. Your site has helped me feel that this virus does not control my life, I DO.
Thank you again SO much! ~Stacy
Thanks for doing what you do .
Some people are nice
Hi- I'm nervous and quite unsure about reaching out to someone. I have been recently diagnosed with HSV-2 and am having all sorts of feelings. I have browsed
your website and found it incredibly helpful and comforting. I'm doing a lot of reading and trying to educate myself as best I can and just wanted to say thank you for being so open
about your experiences. I only hope that with time, I can come to accept myself and find comfort in knowing that I am not the only one. Thank you for your time and understanding.
OMG! Thank you so much for creating this positive website! I was diagnosed with HSV2 three months ago and have been struggling with it ever since. My family doesn't recognize me anymore and is worried sick, and though I don't know that I'll be able to tell them yet, your site has definitely lifted my spirits more than anything else has been able to in months. THANK YOU! I am going to my family doctor this afternoon and asking her to put me on
Valtrex, as I've had three outbreaks in three months. I've been aloof and depressed since getting diagnosed, but I hope that with the support of your page and the people on it that I will get over this!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the blog... when i found out (today) i cried... my doctor comforted me and
I saw that it was something I need to research... I can't tell you thanks enough... this has helped me soooooooo much!!!
I just wanted to say I love your site and I really appreciate what you have done to minimize the stigma and make us feel like decent human beings again. Kudos to you. I also am happy to see someone digging around the internet looking for some great meds! Some of them are just plain crappy.
Anyway, just wanted to say love the positive message you brought to me. You changed my life tonight.
Just wanted to say thank you for this site! i found out that a guy i slept with has herpes. and
I'm going through my first outbreak as i write this.
reading what others had to say, and how life still goes on really has helped me this week. and all the other parts of this site is just awesome! very educational, and helpful.
thank you again! and God bless!
Best
wishes for 2009 .
What a nice thing to say
What can I say---your site is fabulous---thank you
for your encouragement, your boldness---what a place of freedom and liberation
you must be in. It's been 5 years for me, and I only recently gathered the
courage to put a profile on PositiveSingles---no picture of course. Dating
outside of the virus isn't working anymore---the stress is just too great. But
sites like this give me a place to be comfortable.
Thanks again for this site--I'm adding it to my favorites.
We all have crosses
to bear .
Emotional Support and Understanding
Thank you so much for this site. It has gotten me
through alot of rough times. When I first found out I had herpes I freaked out
and didn't know what to do. I felt like my life was over. I didn't think anyone
would ever love me or be my friend if they ever found out. After reading the
stories It helped me alot. I finally have my self-esteem back. I have found a
wonderful man that loves me no matter what. I couldn't believe it. We have been
together for over a year and no matter what he adores me. Without this site I do
not think I would have made it this far on my own. THANK YOU!!
Hi I think your site is really inspirational.
When I was diagnosed with HPV about five months ago I was devastated and thought
that my life was over. I had seen all the internet pictures and information
saying that it was a disease that would invade my life forever, that is, until I
came across your website. After reading your personal story I felt a whole lot
better about my situation and knew that one day I would be back to normal. Now I
am ready to share my story and hopefully inspire other people with it.
I really appreciate what you are doing here on
your site. I contracted Herpes about five years ago, and just told my boyfriend
that I have it( We have not had sex yet). Your story gave me the strength and
courage I needed to tell him. I am so grateful that you thought it important
enough to devote your time to such a wonderful project. We are moving on past
this. And I want you to know that your story had a great deal to do with me
having the guts to tell him the truth. Keep it up.
Angela, thank you so much for taking the time
to speak with me this evening. There is so much sensationally bad & scary
information on the web, it was nice to find a site where someone (you) was
absolutely trying to create a positive, helpful, place with no ulterior
motives. I don't know how much traffic you get, or if you've ever questioned
whether it makes a difference or is worth it, but I want you to know that what
your doing is important & does have a positive impact on people.
WOW I just found this site and think it great.
Hi Angela - I just wanted to thank you for
putting this site up. I have recently been diagnosed with HPV (GWs) and have
just been feeling really low. I'm frightened that I also have HSV, but when I
requested that test, the request was dismissed by my GYN. There is a lot here
that's very helpful, but honestly, just reading that you're a normal person, who
has managed to marry, have children, do all the things I still hope to do in
this life, gives me hope. These days, hope feels rare and more special than it
ever has in my life -- and for that I thank you sincerely. Wishing you all the
best.
My names B* and I'm 18 years old. Yesterday I
was diagnosed with Genital herpes, or at least the doc said she was 98% sure it
was. I'm still waiting for the test to get back. Anyway... As far as pain goes,
I'm in a lot of it. The doctor gave me darvocet because I have to sit in class
all day. She also recommended me a topical analgesic. The thing is, though it
hurts horribly physically, I feel like I'm going through more emotional pain
than anything. When I first heard the doctor say that it was herpes, I just
looked down and fought back tears. I felt disgusting, skanky... like spoiled
Goods. I told my mother that what bothered me most of all was that if things
didn't work out with my current boyfriend, I didn't think another man would want
me because of my STD. God, My STD. I guess I'm still trying to accept the fact
that I have one. Anyway, the point of all of this is that I wanted to say thank
you. I was happy to find a site with as much as yours. So, Thank you!
