Got my results and super positive for H-2

Hello everyone,

I've been lurking for a few weeks on your site and arming myself with great information about this disease. I decided to finally get tested when the onset of my menses I had a small raw area and small cut near my peri area. I remember seeing something like this way back in 1997 while a freshman in college. I went to the nurse who just brushed it off as a little hive rash and I in my mind swept it off as that as well because I believed her. Even when it would it appear maybe one or twice a year I would always go back to what that nurse said.

Eventually I totally forgot about it because up until last week it had been over 5 years since I had a incident such as this. I've just entered a new relationship and it dawned on me from reading and being more educated that I could have the virus.

At this moment I'm very afraid of being rejected ( I told him the possibility) and feel stupid for in a since keeping my head in the sand. To be honest if I was diagnosed then I think I would have suffered a mental breakdown but I'm much stronger now.

I'm negative for H1 but had a value of 9.78 for H-2. Don't know if that correlates with what I experienced in 1997.

Thanks for listening.

Hopefully he does not reject you. Stay strong. It is not pleasant to have but we cannot changethis.

I just showed him my results I sob a bit and he just wanted me to be ok. He told me he has so much respect for me and it doesn't change his he feels. He even revealed to me he had dated a girl in the past who had disclosed to him as well! Wow I feel a little better that he isn't ignorant about the disease. He just wanted to know for sure before he shared that with me.

I'm happy for you! Glad you have a good partner.

Thank you for sharing
