I think if you have same strain you can’t be infected in another place by someone who has same strain not 100% though check with a expert I’d say

I agree I started playing football and it stopped mine

That’s interesting I know marijuana can have massive impacts on other health be interesting to see how or if it effects herpes

Could be chapped lips. Personally I wouldn’t put vinegar on it’s pretty acidic so could make it worse in your case I’d get some cold sore cream from chemist if you suspects hsv1 avoid kissing if you have marks 80% of people world wide have hsv1 so it’s likely people you meet will already have it. Try not to worry too much

I don’t know if your trying any of these but you could try valtrex, 2000mg lysine, vitamin a and c, olive leaf extract, elagen high potency tablets. Eat well avoid all high arginine sources sorry that includes coffee and chocolate. Try and exercise. Hot baths every day. Lomerherpan cream every day. I hope that helps it’s a full on attack mode all that but it’s worth a try

Some countries health services point blank refuse to do blood tests the nhs, the herpes virus association, std clinic and my gp catagorically refused me so just getting tested is not easy when professionals tell you not to do something you trust them.

Great story I wish you both the best of luck for the future

He will get what’s coming to him don’t worry calmer is a bitch. It’s a manageable skin condition that is all. It’s statistically a fact that ppl know they have the virus can better protect someone that doesn’t know they are infected most cases of herpes come from ppl that don’t know they have it. Plus all the cool ppl have a std look at Freddie Mercury

I would say your ok unless your planning on sleeping with and kissing patients bless you

Yes I get this I have a bit of a routine that minimises it. Hot baths and showers min every two days, lysine twice a day, vit a and c, anti virals and good diet

Normally I would say listen to experts and only get a swab test. But if your already diagnosed with a life long condition you may as well go for a full panel check and pay for blood test. Sorry this happened to you. Make sure you take care of you whatever the result I’d suggest medication and counselling it worked for me good luck

My opinion is I think with this condition you really have to see what it really is and be ok with it in your own mind this took me time. This won’t kill anyone. But we all have so much to offer why restrict it to a small pool of people. Talk to someone, get to know them, if you really like them tell them if they run a mile well would you want to grow old with them erm nope.

Give it some time see if you fall for her, if you do crack on. Chances are you already have been exposed 9/10 have hsv1 5/10 have hsv2. If you use valtrex and condoms you have 2% chance of getting it outside a outbreak there is a 1.8% chance you could be killed in a car crash.

Well done shows a tremendous amount of courage and honesty. Hope you told him how low transmission was with anti virals and condoms. Your not flawed it’s a skin condition end of. If he doesn’t accept you for you does he really deserve you?

Yes I contracted it through my ex girlfriend who caught it off her ex, I had known her years and trusted her went on a date too much drink was consumed. Started a relationship together then she told me two months later behind a duvet cover was embarrassed I was like god iv been lucky I’l have no issues only had unprotected sex once but she was my dream girl and I’d fell for her. Six months later she left me for ex. She married him last week ironic. Another six months after that I had minor symptoms went to my sex clinic four times told them the situation, said looks nothing like herpes. Went to three gp appointments still no diagnosis. Demanded urology appointment and was diagnosed on initial appointment. Diagnosis was bad enough but the six month of worry and shit healthcare services made me change into a different person. On the up now it’s a skin disease for me now that’s manageable I just pray that I meet someone who understood on disclosure like I did
