I am recently divorced and realizing that now I am faced with the stigma of having herpes2. 40 years ago I started having outbreaks. When it happened, I simply would avoid sex until it went away. I didn't really even know what it was for many years. I went to a doctor and he checked me out when I had an outbreak and he told me bath regularly and change my "drawers" every day. That helped. To my knowledge I never passed it to anyone. I was married for nearly 30 years and she never got it. I dated before her and my girlfriend never got it. I was married for 4 years before that and she never got it. I haven't had an outbreak for nearly 2 years and almost completely forgot about it. Does any of this resonate with anyone??View Thread
