So you still have outbreaks even though you take the antivirals daily? Im starting a new relationship and I’m trying to ensure I do not give it to my partner so your comment has me hopefully

I have taken 500 mg Vlaycyclovir a day for a couple years now, and haven't had an outbreak as long as I take it daily. I'm trying to find out If I should have my uninfected partner the valacyclovir too? Or as long as I take it daily, she should be good? Does your partner do anything else as prevention? My girlfriend knows I have it, doesn't want to use condoms but I want to protect her.

@@theonlybenbaker It seems like you’re doing everything you can. From what I understand there wouldn’t be any advantages from your uninfected partner taking antivirals however. They won’t shield from a new infection, they only work when there is an infection present.

Does your partner give you oral sex?

You are not alone❤️💯. That honestly happened to me as well. We are here for one another when ever you feel the need to talk to someone who actually goes thru what you do.

I got my herpes from my Dentist, in 1975 , back then they weren't very good at keeping anything clean . And he had a big sore on his lip and wearing no rubber gloves. I'm so devastated,now I get Herpes all the time.😭

​@@lumity238😔 If you don't mind me asking, what happened to him after that?

Every relationship starts somewhere. You don't need to disclose on a first date, if you're not going to expose the person. See if you two click and then move on. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptSkjK-UytvFg4U.html

I have the answer. I’m Peruvian and my girlfriend from Venezuela. She tested positive. I don’t . We were dating for a month and i wanted to have sex with her on the 3rd week but she didn’t. She refused to it, I did understand at that time. I remember I was getting in love with her. And when I was fall in love with her. I think She wait for that to let me know her condition) and that was when she told me about she got herpes 5 years ago. I felt that I loved her more than before. She is the love of my life and now we live together here in Washington state. We plan to have our first baby.

​@@jordandd4016 so did you end up catching herpes do you have it

Define depression

It’s tough man very but we have many great aspects of ourselves and there is antivirals for daily protection from spreading and outbreaks.. things will calm down and just know it’s more common than you think… precaution is great with your body. Take your time with friends and condoms are great. You’re still beautiful 🌹

Ik how it feels

Don't be depressed nothing bad about it. I grow around people have herpes all my life cold sore are they called just big stigma about this herpes that's it

❤

Well a lot of people don't know that HSV is herpes and that cold sores are herpes. So inthier defense they don't know that its contagious and also sexually transmitted. Also, with the majority of the population having herpes a lot of times the message from the medical world is that you don't have to disclose because everyone has it.

I have hsv-1 and I don’t make a big deal out of it. I just casually mention that I get a cold sore about once a year.

@@eva-lily9324 you let people know that's cool. Lately I have been really down it's really hard telling women I have this std

@@lifewithherpes again, if you know that you have it, why wouldn't you disclose that information?! Seems like you think it's ok to put ppl at risk. Not cool at all.

If you know, you should, of course. Where have I said you shouldn't if you *know*?

Please join our group. There are so many great people there and we have calls. They're relay helpful. You don't need to live like that - your sex life is not ruined, and you can live pretty normal life with herpes. www.lifewithherpes.com/secretsociety

You are more than this illness. Don’t let it define who you are. A whole lot of people have herpes and continue to have relationships. If someone truly loves you, herpes will not be a game changer. Sending Love!

@@lindagoosling Amen!

@@sabrinatenney I know thia so late ...BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH

@@dazhaanderson8166 me too How

NO SEX AT ALL 1% ONLY.

There with you

Are you sure about it!? Can you explain how then?

Nah bro…only 3 things in life not reversible…birth, death, and herpes.

Yeah, if there's no skin to skin contact, that is fine.

Genius! Love this idea 🙃

What about kissing each other? Still contagious

If he gets genital outbreaks, that's where he's contagious. He cannot transmit with kissing. And yes, he sheds less after all this time

Amen

AMEN 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Can you pray for my healing of herpes please

God is the one who heals, but Jesus is the prophet of God, the son of the Virgin Mary

Amen!!! Amen!!! My Sister 🙏 That God may bless you!!

Nigga me too! This some bullshit

Man up

What medicine are you on?

Herpes is a skin rash, BV is an infection. You could have a foul smell, discharge and such with BV.

Hey, ozone works. For a negative test result and elimination, it's just very expensive. Overseas is cheaper.

​@@Queenbluvwhere overseas

Well be careful out there ,some people would rather lie and pass it to you than to just admit they have it.

Facts ❤❤

It could mean the virus is active. Treat it as an outbreak until it passes.

You can still get it even using condoms. Since herpes is transmitted with skin to skin contact, there is still areas exposed to contact even if using condoms all the time. You can take andrographis, there are some studies suggesting it prevents viral entry of the herpes virus. www.lifewithherpes.com/shop-andrographis

Yes

I'm sorry to hear that. Both could be the case. Just better take a test to see where you both stand.

Yup :)

It would be helpful, for sure, but would it prevent you from actually getting it, if you'd come into contact with it? Not sure. I would definitely suggest you to educate yourself about it and talk to your partner what you want to do about it. Especially in the beginning partners often discuss antivirals, since this is the best thing to do to protect your partner, so many people do that at least for a while. I'd also suggest you to get tested to see where you stand. Many people are asymptomatic and never learn about their diagnosis, unless they get tested.

@Life With Herpes with Alexandra Harbushka Which antiviral is best to prevent passing it and having recurring outbreaks myself? I have been prescribed Famciclovir 250 mg and Valacyclovir 1 gram. I'm not sure which is stronger as an antiviral. I can assume the Valacyclovir is. How much do you think they really help?

How did it go? Were you able To avoid getting it

From my understanding HSV1 is oral herpes and HSV2 is genital so if you have it on your anus then that's considered HSV2. Genitals doesn't mean just the vagina or penis. It could be in your anus, thigh, leg, etc. So therefore, if you have HSV2 then no you cannot pass it to your husband by kissing because it's skin to skin contact. With that being said, if you have HSV1 which is oral herpes then there's a possibility that it can be passed on if you kiss him and have an outbreak on or around your mouth

About that. But, HSV1 & HSV2 are just two types of herpes virus. They're usually described as oral (hsv1) and genital (hsv2), but in reality, they are interchangeable. Herpes is a virus that lives on a skin and it can appear anywhere on our skin, but most commonly, they appear on our lips and on our genitals. So, often hsv1 will be transmitted to someone's genitals if a person with a cold sore is performing oral sex on somebody. And the other way around.

Herpes is for life

The studies done on the transmissibility and contraction of herpes come from the 1800s. They have since loosely associated it with a virus they call HSV, but so many people test positive for it without a single out break, and then on the flip side people can get the symptoms without a positive result. So really the claim that it's a virus that will stick with you your whole life is just as useless as the claim Fauci had made that AIDS required a positive test for the HIV virus after a flood of doctors were demanding an explanation for how to diagnose their patients with all the symptoms of AIDs without the positive HIV result. He told them to just diagnose it as a plethora of other things not transmissible, like "Chronic fatigue." Our medical industry is just wrought with these tenuous labels, that make people hate each other based simply on a pcr test result that the inventor even said should never be used as a diagnostic tool. Once explored you start to realize just how absurd, and needlessly stigmatizing it all really is.

Unlikely, however it's impossible to know like that. But, try not to overreact. Unless you get symptoms, you're most likely good.

@@lifewithherpes thank you

Hey. You're not mentioning what type of herpes she has. But it's skin to skin contact transmission, so if she has oral herpes, just make sure she's not kissing the children and she takes care of basic hygiene.

@@lifewithherpes what about if you have herpes genital , is it easy to transmission to children ?

1.I believe Herpalert can help you if you want to get antivirals. You can contact them here and if you use lifewithherpes code, you will get 10%. www.lifewithherpes.com/diagnosis 2. A strong immune system is the best way to not transmit. A good immune system will prevent viruses to come out, to become active, and as long as the virus is kept dormant, you will not transmit. You can do that with a healthy life style: exercise, sleep, meditation, diet, and whatever fits you. There's no secret formula to the one we already know about healthy life style. But, you can supplement your diet with vit c, vit d, zinc, monolaurin and lysine. Lysine is specific to herpes virus - it helps keep it dormant, and monolaurin helps the immune support to fight the virus by breaking the shell of enveloped viruses, which herpes is. We really like these supplements. Hope that helps in any way. www.naturalcurelabs.com/collections/all-products?ref=LWH

If you have antibodies (which you do if you tested positive), then you cannnot reinfect yourself. Your body will recognize the virus and fight it off. Technically though, you can have herpes on more than one place and that is if you come into contact with the virus at the time when your body has not yet been able to produce enough antibodies. Hope that's clear

@@lifewithherpes So if you already have hsv-1 and you have enough antibodies you can not get it somewhere else through oral sex by a partner?And you can only infect yourself if you don’t have enough antibodies? Did I get it right? I have had hsv-1 since childhood. Is it safe to think that I have already enough antibodies? I am in my early 20s. Edit: can antibodies decrease over time?

@@eva-lily9324 this ☝️ I’m wondering too!

Yes, you should have enough antibodies by now. And yes, you got that correctly.

Not completely sure about it legally, but there were cases where a person sued and won.

Should be

No, it doesn't live in breast milk or other bodily fluids. Unless you have it on your breasts, you can easily breastfeed. Good luck!

Well, that's the tricky part. You cannot know. That's why communication and trust are important.

you can tell when the virus is shredding , you will notice a slight tingling sensation around your butt area. and you will notice certain change in your mood . study your body and notice when it changes before and after you have an outbreak :STD Awareness: Asymptomatic Shedding of Herpes very small lesions. itching. soreness. genital pain. tingling or shooting pains below the waist. during the first outbreak: flu-like feeling, fever, chills, or swollen glands

Duh! That is why it is important to realize that it is almost inevitable.

​@@GordonMiller Is not almost enevitable. If you use condom and antiviral the chances of transmitting herpes is very low. Still, yes, it is possible, like winning a small lottery.

@@TheJimbo1791 with respect 48% and 60% or so protection re antivirals and condoms isn't 'very low'. Guess all people can do is educate and be open, it goes from there.

If the person has herpes on their legs, then you can come in contact with it. But if the person has genital HSV, then the clothes will prevent transmission
