yeah def, i knew of that going into the relationship that that was how i would catch it, makes sense cuz even with us being very careful here i am on a herpes form , prob caught from passionate kisses. oh those kisses, maybe i should have been more delicate lol. oh well. thus is life. i can let it ruin my day or accept it and move on. accepting seems like such a better option considering it has had no effect on our relationship in 2 years, other then that bitch stealing my concealer lol . i told her to keep it. diamonds are not forever. herpes is!

yeah she def knows. i thanked her for the gift that keeps on giving lol. she felt bad, but we both knew it was possible starting this relationship. she says she got hers working at a grocery with a cold so her nose was all broken out and she must have touched it with the virus and thats how she got it, thats what she says,or thinks. for me idk which way i got it. is it possible i will never have a outbreak ever?

Yankee i also live near nyc and am in the exact same boat. no symptoms. but just have been told by my doctor that I have herpes type 1, my doctor says oh you have you know cold sores, she brushed it off like it was nothing and let me go on my way, as a matter of a fact she told me on the phone. she gave me no info on what i need to know what it is that i have , etc. i have been a google mad woman and now have a ton of info. it bothers me how this is a big dark secret when it really shouldn't be. if more people talked about it, it wouldn't be filled with so much shame. for me i am dating someone who has it on their nose. so i can potentially have down below ( from oral) or on the face, id assume my nose as well from kissing, we bump noses, her nose could potentially touch the top of genitals ( i am female as well) . idk I've never had anything so idk if i have it on the face or down below. and not knowing bothers me too. a lot actually. my question is can i go my whole life with NO outbreak? will i even know the difference if its acne or an outbreak, or razor rash below or an outbreak. i am going to see a dermatologist do you think they will have a better knowledge then my regular doctor, or would a gyno. i feel like my regular doctor was an idiot, no offense,but how do you tell someone they have this and give them NO info. or try to down play it by saying its just cold sores? any who any and all info is greatly appreciated. i have been researching so much so i know lots of info that i didn't know say 5 days ago but i still am unsure of a few things 1) can i go my whole life with no outbreak, there for i won't ever know if i have it on my genitals or my face. 2) will i confuse it with acne, or razor burn or will i def know when it happens ? 3) are dermatologist more knowledgeable about it, i feel like my doctor just assumes its on the face and shrugged it off. which is so ignorant, she should have told me it could be on my gentials too, it bothers me how doctors can be so ignorant in educating their patents. 4) i read somewhere lets say i have it on my face, that i can't get type 1 on my gentials, is thats true? or vise versa, that once you have it one place your body makes antibodies to protect you from getting it other places? i think thats all the questions i have lol
