[Casual sex and herpes?]

Remember condoms only reduce the risk of transmission. ... theres no way to tell when youre shedding But you disclosed...he knew the risk

[Questions about herpes outbreaks and periods]

After a week of spiking temps and the awful feeling of malaise with my first outbreak, my sores are slowly healing.

 

Do most women get an outbreak around, near, or while theyre on their period?

 

Im supposed to be starting my period soon and it would really suck if I had to start going through this all over again after I feel Im coming over the hump

 

Or does it just depend on your bodys individuality of handling it?

 

Im keeping a journal of my symptoms and how I feel That way, when I have future outbreaks perhaps I could notice patterns...what to do...or what not to do and how long each will last etc

[Hygiene and Herpes.]

I take a squeeze bottle fill it with peroxide and squirt it on my genitals. Its cleans me very well and promotes a healing process.

 

Before I go to bed ... I always clean myself with how i described above but when Im done I take a light panty liner and douse it with tea tree oil and wear it till morning...omg!!! Helps soooo much!!!

[We're both HSV2 positive]

my bf and I are newbies to this dis-ease

 

we're in a monogamous relationship. is it still prudent to make him wear condoms when we have sex? afterall, i would hate for the sores to spread/appear in dif spots like particularly inside my vagina or on my cervix...is that possible?

[Found out I have HPV, too]

I was diagnosed with HPV over 6 years ago because I was pretty close to having cervical cancer. My obgyn did a colposcopy..btw I'm not sure if that's even how you sp the procedure but I remember going underneath the knife very well (removed my cervix, cut it out/scraped it with the hopes it would grow back with better cellular tissue.) I had to receive a pap every 3 months for a whole year to make sure I didnt have any malignant tissue growth on my cervix. I popped up clean and fine every time...then she moved me to every 6 months because I healed very well. After 3 years (and I really didnt have sex with anyone for those 3 years, but that's another story) years of having a nice healthy cervix, I only receive paps every 2 years. As Adryal says, 80% of the population has HPV. That's close to almost everyone

 

There's also 8 strands of herpes. Not only will I always carry HPV but I will always carry the chicken pox virus as well as the mono virus (all strands of herpes. I will never forget my affliction with mono...I had it a decade ago) in addition to the dis-ease of HSV2. I've had a total of 3 types of herpes!!

 

Find out what strand of HPV you have particularly if it causes genital warts They should have counseled you about this upon your first initial diagnosis. Heck, when I found out I had HPV, it I thought I had a major STD, I did but I thought I was gonna die from it and kill other people with me. I hope they were a lil more compassionate with you

 

Best wishes to you

[Was just told I have HPV also... Feeling lost and alone]

 

 

What have you decided to do for treatment?
