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

Please please please can someone relate to getting as many as 11 outbreaks in that time. I am on 3 tablets a day now and still the bumps are still there from 10 days ago when the outbreak started. I am getting upset reading how people have only had a couple if that and it rarely bothers them. I am freaking out and crying as I fear this won't calm down whatever I do. I tridd calling the sexual health clinic this morning to discuss the effect this is having on me and they didn't even bother to ring me back.
Sorry I feel I have been posting loads but I don't know where else to talk about it?
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

I’m from the States.. I have Ghsv1 it’s been pretty manageable so far, I took myself off the medication because the side effects are horrible. Yes it sucks that my giver did the same and has no conscious for what he did sadly evil ppl exist.
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?

@Uklad that you are being open and honest and sharing this with her (especially if you werare not in a situation of choice when you contracted) is really great!
Really wish you all best!
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

I’ve only disclosed to potential partners twice— I’m still new at all this. Female to male disclosure. Like you I read posts on here, looked at the stats, read other articles, etc....
Both times I ended up disclosing by text. Not my choice going in, but just the way it worked out.
First time around I was so nervous but wasn’t yet really invested in the guy, but there was some potential and I figured, just go for it— consider it practice if nothing else. I really figured he’d drop it right there and I’d never hear from him again. But I was surprised to find him open to it. Said it really didn’t matter, he had a friend who had it and had been there for him so understood. Relationship never fully manifested into anything physical, but that ended up being more about distance than about HSV. In fact, that never was an issue at all.
second time was just last week with the first guy I’ve met in a LONG time that I just immediately clicked with and have high hopes for something longer term. 2nd date in, I knew i needed to disclose. We were both on the same page wanting more from this. He was getting ready to travel for work the next day, so I figured it was better to disclose and give him time to think on it before he came back. So I used a similar script to one shared on here in another post— just opening with how much I was enjoying getting to know him and that it seemed clear we both had interest in exploring where this might go. That I felt it important to be open about something that was somewhat hard to share. Said I had been diagnosed earlier in the year with HSV2, the virus that causes herpes. That there is a lot of misinformation out there but the reality is, it’s a skin condition that many people have— just not so many know they have it. Gave a couple stats, shared the disclosure pdf from this site and said I’d be happy to answer any questions or concerns he might have.
We had a nice back and forth on text from this. At one point I apologized for dampening our otherwise wonderful evening by sharing (after all, we’d ended our date with a pretty great kiss and then he has me texting about HSV). His response spoke volumes— he said I hadn’t dampened the evening at all, if anything “made it better”! He said that it was so refreshing to know someone would be so open and honest. He suggested he go get tested since that would only be fair to me— he’d had two partners since he’d last been screened for everything anyway and felt that was only right for both of us to have a full picture of what were dealing with. And said he’d also talk to his doctor about it. 😊 but also said he felt like we had a great start to something here and we’d figure it out!
That was last week and I am hopeful for where things might go with us. I am also trying to keep my heart in check to a certain extent until he’s been to the doctor and he has the information he needs to determine his options, risks, etc... but, no matter what, I have given him the choice that I never had on deciding to take the risk or not.
i truly hope you have an equally receptive partner on the other end of your disclosure! There is something empowering about sharing this and opening up a level of honesty and openness with a potential partner early on! Doesn’t make it easy and I’d certainly never wish HSV on anyone, but you’ll know in their reaction if they are there for the right reasons!
good luck to you! I look forward to hearing how it goes!
Wow fantastic I’m so pleased for you my gut feeling is she will take it well I mean it wouldn’t bother me if I was into her but we will see

Lack of sleep and alcohol can hammer your immune system so it’s probably that. Take care.

Hi, I might just be chapped lips it might be herpes the key thing I would say is if you ever get a cold sore just go and get a swab test. I know here in UK they don’t do blood tests not something I agree with personally. I would say live your life as normal if it appears then it’s a condition that can be managed it’s only the media that make it a big deal.
-
Yes I am I see that now, I ain’t letting this stop my life however I will certainly make sure I disclose are raise awareness
-
God you must be unlucky if you are having them side effects have you thought about the lottery? Ye the charity website is good some YouTube videos are good for self esteem Ella Dawson and Laureen hd, hot baths are good too. I have had it six months and my triggers seem to be bad foods. But haven’t had one since I hammered vitamins and went on anti virals. I have good and bad days like anyone but I believe that everything happens for a reason
-
Really never knew lysine could do that, could try the vitamin c and a, if you have a look on herpes virus association uk website they have some good products that might help try and keep you stress levels low, take care
-
Try lysine 2000mg a day and vitamin a tablets, olive leaf extract. Stay away from high arginine foods get loads of sleep keep you immune system strong. Takes a few days to kick in but works for me.

My giver left me for her ex that gave her it lol how ironic

Go and get it checked at your local clinic while you have symptoms it’s better to know than not you need to go ASAP so they can swab if it’s anything like UK they don’t do blood tests. It’s possible you could have had it in one form or another especially if you have had a cold sore on your mouth it’s same thing but on your bits.

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
