Hello everyone ... this is my first post here.

I discovered that I have herpes in March of this year.  My initial outbreak
was devastating to me to say the least, but I've dealt with it and can
accept the fact that I have it.  At first I had 17 sores on my penis and out
of that two were larger than the rest.  Went to the doctor and it was
confirmed that yes, I do have the virus.  I have no idea if it is 1 or 2,
but it only happened on my penis.

My doctor gave me a prescription for a week supply of Valtrex and told me
that when I did have an outbreak to take it and then get back to her once I
had finished them.  I have never taken them.

Well in the past four months, as far as I know I have not had a outbreak.
Every once in a while I get a super light tingle where my penis meets my bag
that lasts for about a second.  I look and don't see any signs of a sore
what so ever.  This tingle may happen once in a week or once every three
weeks.  Seems to happen only when I think about having herpes.

So here is my question:  is my mind making the tingle happen? why is there
no sore or mark?  the tingle does seem to happen always at the same spot,
which is where one of the larger sores once were.  Can some you males
describe to me what your outbreaks are like and what the signs are?

I have also just met a fantastic woman and have fallen big time in love with
her.  I know that she doesn't have it and am scarred shitless to tell her
about it and want to gather some facts about outbreaks and the signs before
I talk about it.

Any and all information/feedback it greatly appreciated.
Regards
AB
