Hi ya'll. Im a female. I was diagnosed with HSV-1 (genital) over 10 years ago after one outbreak and I never had an outbreak since. Then my long term partner (who does not have the virus, that he knows of anyway) and I had sex and I had an outbreak, I was so confused as id pretty much forgot I had it. The clinic said because I have type 1 and not 2 its unlikely to come back quickly. I then had sex once the sore had cleared and it came back again?!?!?! I have cried so much, not slept, and am genuinely scared to have sex now in case it keeps coming back. My trigger is clearly friction and friction only. We've bought lube to see if that helps but just wondering if anyone else has got any tips for me or who is experiencing friction being their only trigger too? Thanks!
