I know u can get 1 and 2 in both locations but once they are in one location thEy don’t usually transfer.

Well ever specialist I talked to said u it’s unlikely to go in another area.

Also u should know that once u have Hsv1 u can’t get it again.. so if u date someone with it that have oral u can’t get reinfected with it orally because u already have it gentially. The only time that can happen is when u first get infected if both areas are infected. There is a time span also where it can happen but highly unlikely for the first couple of months while your immune system is adjusted to fighting the virus. Not sure if u knew this already. It’s a lot to digest and can totally relate with what ur going through. We can only have hope that it gets better and that acceptance won’t be and issue when u decide to try to date someone. That’s probably where I’m more freaked out but it is what it is! Can’t let this ruin our lives but it’s definitely made me rethink the whole dating scene.

I got it from intercourses he had a small sore I didn’t see and then never told me it supposed to be super rare to get this way but my luck I got it. I went on antidepressants and always having some side effects from the medication. I’m just trying really hard with eat well and supplements and exercising. well hang in there it will get better your body needs time to fight it. I did start doing yoga and getting massages to help lower my stress level.

Well I know I am no guy and I also have Ghsv1. I got mine from ex partner that decided to not tell me that they had the virus. Anyways I really struggled with the virus for a few months. I also was told by my doctor it’s just cold sores and most of the population has Hsv1. However, I was on antivirals but they aren’t good the side effects long term are bad from what I have experienced. I became infected in July 2018.. I’m finally feeling better, emotionally it will always feel this burden that u have to carry. I know haven’t had an outbreak for a few months. Both my dermatologist and Obgyn said after about 6 months it calms down once your immune system can fight it. I also was told it may never come back because Hsv1 doesn’t like to be in the gential area. I take lysine and olive leaf and folic acid and few other supplements to help my immune system. I personally haven’t had to disclose to anyone as of yet only my close friends and family, everyone has been very supportive and that has been a blessing since I beat myself up for trusting someone that I thought cared and loved me and had my best interest. All I can say is yes this sucks and I wished that I could change it because it changed my entire life! However it does it better and sometimes u get to forget for a moment u have it! Keep in mind that 80% of the population has Hsv1 so more ppl have then don’t. A lot ppl have no idea they are carrying the virus because they didn’t get the effects as we did. Hope it gets better for u and know that there is a lot of support here for you!

Yes I have! I have prayed many times prior to and after getting this horrible virus and I felt like he wouldn’t help me. I screwed up and made the choice I did but I was hoping that I could get the faith back that everything will be ok. I still struggle with this daily and don’t know what my future holds because I believe apart of my life is overZ

Thank you very much! I hope and pray always. I never thought in a million years I would have to deal with this. Im getting my immune system better which is helping a lot more.

Sometimes u may never know unless u breakout right away after being infected. My giver gave me mine and I knew I got it from him because I broke out with it within 2 weeks of having sex.

It’s my understanding that if u have cold sore on the mouth you can transmit gentially. Also if the virus is shedding u might not have active sores and you can still spread the virus even if u don’t have a sore that’s how this virus is getting spread so easily. If u already have Hsv1 and u gave him it from oral sex then u shouldn’t get it gential it usually only stays in one spot. Hsv1 is more milder than Hsv2. He should get tested, even if the sores aren’t there. So many ppl have herpes and don’t know because they get mild symptoms or no symptoms at all but the virus still sheds.

So very awesome for you! I’m still wondering how this will ever get to a place I’m ok with. I hate that I have this and have to feel like I’m some disgusting person because someone else couldn’t be honest with me when I only was honest with him and loved him for him. I just hope I can get that love someday I have been extremely depressed and I know it makes it worse but I can’t get it out of my head. Good luck to you guys. I’m glad some ppl are able to find love and move forward with a successful relationship.

I workout and didn’t need to use cream. I mean u gotta take it easy. I quite working about 2 mths ago and got into some depression and I feel worse then before. I think working out help keep me mentally better and physically as well.

Yes I completely understand. I went back to the doctors and he put me on antidepressants because I was crying so much. I didn’t want live. I was feeling horrible and scared I’m never to find anyone to accept me again and I would be alone forever which makes me really sad. On the dating site there isn’t many Hsv1 gential ppl on there, a lot of Hsv2. Anyway my doctor had a heart to heart with me whiched helped me a lot. More ppl have hsv1 then don’t have it.. almost 80% of the population. Not that I wanted to be apart of that but it’s comforting to know that there are a lot of ppl that have this. I hope u feel better I know it’s extremely hard but once we get in under control it may not ever come back my doctor said all depends on our bodies.

I recently went to my doctors the other day and he said the same thing more ppl have this verse ppl that don’t .. I just been so emotional it’s causing me issues on getting better so he put be on and antidepressant to help me stop crying so much.

I’m sorry.. I’m so scared to tell someone potentially I want to date. I’m in fear I’m gna be alone forever.😢

Thanks for sharing even though I got emotional it was worth watching. Thank u!

I was then stopped because was dealing with the side effects of headaches and sore throat and stuffy nose and just fatigued . I stopped taking for 3 weeks I developed a small outbreak and went back on them. I go back to my doctor in a few days to discuss this with him. I hate the side effects from the antivirals.

It’s my understanding that u can’t transmit it to another body part once u have the antibodies in your system which take about 3 mths . I also have hsv1, my ex gave it to me and he knew he had it just didn’t care sadly. It’s such a emotional roller coaster.. I just pray it gets better. For me a lot of times I just wished I would die to not have to be reminded everyday of this horrible virus. I get nerve pain which is painful at times plus I went off my antivirals caused myself to have outbreak. I’m just so over it. I just wish I could be one of those ppl that didn’t get any symptoms.

I heard wine could also be a trigger, what kind do u drink? I used to enjoy drinking a beer hear and there but I noticed if I’m not on suppressive therapy it causes a outbreak it’s minimal but still annoying.

You may developed the site after having sex, because they say that the rubbing can cause outbreak. So u might not had at first. Hopefully everything he didn’t get infected. I hope everything turns out ok, don’t stress because that causes outbreaks too!

You may need to increase your lysine. Also check out another Forum called Honey Comb they have a lot talks about other therapy and ways to suppress the virus more.

Sometimes u have to get a different antiviral u gotta talk to your doctor. Also depending on what your eating and drinking can cause issues with it wanting to reactivate. This virus is really how life changer. Do u take supplements to boost your immune system?

I find myself feeling acceptance but then I have days where I’m still emotional. There is a lot of ppl that have the virus that know and more that don’t know. I’m glad u are getting to a better place. I can only hope that one day I can just have this lie dormant and have no physical symptoms.

Oh it has emotionally put in a place I never wanted to be and having a hard time dealing with it. I’m so hurt and the pain is very difficult.

Because I only had intercourse and got sick, my ex admitted to me later he had a small sore on the tip of his penis and got opened up after we had sex. I tested a week later tested positive only for hsv1 then the sore came.

Well I’m an unlucky person that got hsv1 gential to gential.
