just tested positive for hsv 1 as a young attractive women and don’t know what to do.

Newly Diagnosed

i got tested 1 1/2 months ago and was negative for everything, but on a recent test i popped up as positive for the hsv 1 antibodies. everyone i‘ve been with said they had negative tests and i‘m just so hurt that someone lied, and feeling terrible that i might’ve spread it unknowingly. i don’t have any sores yet and just overall don’t know what to do. i honestly feel like my dating life is over- the thought of spreading it kills me. does anyone have advice on how to move forward and manage it? anything is appreciated
