One of my OBs told me that since I've never had an outbreak, that my chances of passing it on would be close to zero. I've had 3 OBs since finding out I had herpes, and they all seem to think I'm a carrier and that its just recessive. That being said, when I'm doing the online dating thing, I usually tell the person the 1st or 2nd day of talking. I'm not trying to waste their time or my time if the person I'm talking to does not want to deal with that. I don't get angry if they don't. I get the stigma around any STDs, but a lot of people fail to realize that its not like we asked for it. Try not to make people feel ostracized for having it.

I have mouth herpes unfortunately and it's not funny, they pop up every once in a while mainly when I'm really stressed out. I was told the 1st time I had it was when I was 10-13. Apparently my grandmother transferred it to me because we were sharing drinks all the time. I don't share drinks with anyone anymore. But I have no idea if that's really how I got this virus or not. She gets them a lot even in her nose. (Poor grandma) My partner knows and I told them don't come near me if you see a bump near my lips. I always check myself tho because I feel like I'm always stressed out about something. I do take medicine for it prescribed by my doctor. And I Do take lysine for sometimes but those pills are so damn big I feel like I'm going to choke on them all the time. 😓 That's what she told me.

Which is more likely when the person tells me they don’t have Herpes, but has admitted to having a cold sore in the pass. Also it was one interaction between us. I don’t have legions but I did have one lip bump, which spread one bump to my penis, and this is where I’m at right now. Could it be a regular bump I spread from my lips to mouth. I wouldn’t mind sending pics either to assess. Thanks so much

Kind of freaking out. Noticed some bumps on my stuff. My ex GFs had a 1 night stand before we got together with a guy who had herpes. According to her they used protection, but he didn't tell her til after. She said she was negative, but in hindsight she wasn't the most honest person. We broke up 3 months ago I haven't had any issues until now. I'm worried tho that I have herpes from her. Gonna get tested and hope to God it's negative. She is the only girl I've ever slept with. I'm worried, I know it's not a death sentence or anything, but it will drastically change my life.

What is the percentage of transmission having an outbreak, using a condom ?
@lifewithherpes11 ай бұрын
If you have an outbreak, and the person comes in contact with the area of it, the chances are still high. This is usually the case, since the condom doesn't cover the whole area of an OB. If the condom completely covers the area where you have an outbreak, then with a correct usage of a condom (having it on all the time), you should be fine.

This might be a stupid question.. if you and your partner have hsv1 oral (from before you were together as kids)what is the likely hood it will result in transferring to hsv1 genital? And are hsv1 and hsv2 genital the same type of sores?
@lifewithherpes Жыл бұрын
Very unlikely. Once you have the antibodies, it's almost impossible to reinfect yourself again with the same strain. Your body will recognize the virus, in case you come in contact with it again, and fight with antibodies that it has build. However, we have heard of cases where that happen, so just be aware there's a possibility.

It can be a day or two, it could be weeks, months, in some cases you can get first outbreak years after getting the virus. However, if a person did get it and is showing symptoms, they will most likely get it in first 14 days.

Usually when you have the antibodies, you cannot reinfect yourself again. However, some studies suggest that it is possible ot get herpes on two locations, especially if your immune system is down, and you come in contact with it again. But, normally, the antibodies will protect you - your body will recognize the virus and fight it odd.

You need to demand all partners get tested. I've met multiple people with herpes who admit they deliberately do not tell people they are positive. My ex sister-in-law is a music teacher who KNEW she had herpes and would lick and use her mouth on the flutes and clarinet reeds of her students. I asked her why. She said, "I love to teach and I have to do that to teach the kids." The parents never knew she was deliberately exposing hundreds of kids to herpes. Before you get pissed at me for not reporting her... She is still a beloved teacher in Northern CA (placer county). It is a racist, Mormon community. They routinely hurt, ostracize and abuse nonwhites, deny them work and strip them if custody in family court. Screw them.
