It hasn't even been a month since I was testes H+ with h1&2. My main outbreak blister is gone, no more stinging sore.... I've been on suppressive therapy. But before my ob I had a crazy itch... Razor burn looking bumps on my bikini area and public bone area.... And it has yet to go away. Should I call the dr to prescribe ointment? Is there such a thing? I usually wax (Brazilian) is that wise bc I'm up for my appointment soon. Itch itch itch.... Grrrrr driving me nuts. Can anyone please provide insight.... Could this be something else? Is THIS a form of outbreak??????

Thanks ladies for the very helpful feedback also on a side note I'm new to creating a discussion board so my apologies for creating two. I have only had an outbreak in my genitals and when blood tested I was told it was 1&2 I've never had anything on my lips. The initial blister was Tiny but very painful and now that it's gone I'm left with this constant itch and razor burn like symptoms. No pain anymore though. Ive started suppressive therapy right away. So if I'm right I can transmit HSV1 from my genitals to someone's lips? However viral shedding is minimal and hsv2 although shedding is more common that's only from genital to genital.... Right?

Omgeeeee thanks ladies for the inspiration.... I definitely needed it. I've only told a few trusted friends about my H+ and their initial reaction was '' Gasp! That's terrible! , they flinched in their seat and seemed very uncomfortable..... But none the less I have their support. I've been doing my research and I can definitely see there's a stigma out there that needs to be addressed! I am grateful for your time and attention and definitely grateful for your support and uplifting words. However there's a HUGE concern pressing on my mind. I have a 4 year old.... How do I practice proper sanitation? Sharing towels? Soaps? He often crawls into bed with me at night (as all kids his age do when they've had a bad dream) is this OK? How often should I change my sheets? I live in a small apartment and I only have 1 bathroom-should i clean it daily?? Any extra advice?

Ok so hsv1&2.....does this mean its a double whammy? Will I ever be able to enjoy Oral sex? I was diagnosed last week. I feel like "if you wanna sex with me your doomed. If you want to go down on me your doomed!" Ugh. I could be wrong

Is there such a thing? A place where I can meet locals and discuss our issues, questions, stories?

I have yet to cry...I won't allow this define me. I have been through so much and this has truly been an eye opener for me. My first Ob was 2 weeks ago it was the smallest blister the DR almost could not see it he said it was very minor and didn't think it was anything to worry about...blood test revealed otherwise. I have type 1&2....does this mean ill break out on my lips too!!?! I broke up with my ex 4 months ago and he's back and wants to work things out-which I would LOVE to do. After we broke up I had a one night night stand *facepalm! I have avoided telling him and I've DEFINATELY avoided the make up sex. This will ruin us for sure! He doesn't love me we were only dating for 6 months...oh dear. I feel like I'm going to have to swallow rejection and learn to see guys I'm interested in walk away. I'm a little ashamed and very guilty. I consider myself very well rounded, I'm a part time model a make up artist, I have an amazing full time job, my own place great friends...my social life keeps me busy and I take very good care of myself. My male friends consider me "the whole package" I fell, this is SUCH a deal breaker!! Although my friends are supportive none have been in my shoes and they don't understand. Hence why I am here. I have so many questions and I'm running low on confidence....which has a never been an issue for me! How often will I have outbreaks? I've started suppressive therapy...I have no idea what to expect. What's the ratio of men rejecting me? Is it true the first OB is the worst? Disclosing.....obviously I've never done...practice makes perfect right? Omg! How do I even get that out??? Please help me

I'm confused.... I don't know what to expect! I've started suppressive therapy. This is all new to me, I broke up with my ex 4 months ago and I had a one night stand... That obviously bit me in the ass (no pun intended) now my ex wants to work things out... And none the less I've been avoiding the make up sex. He has no idea and I think this would end us for sure! I can deal with the outbreaks my end of this.... I'm owning up to it and trying to be OK with living with this I'm afraid of loosing him... Or any other good man that comes into my life for that matter. I consider myself super well rounded, Im a part time model and my full time job is amazing with great pay I'm a social butterfly and a make up artist, needless to say a girly girl! Many of my male friends say I'm the complete package... I can't help but feel this is a ``deal breaker'' My Dr said the first outbreak is the worst and mine (although a little stinging and painful) wasn't THAT bad it's the itch that drives me crazy.... How often will I get these outbreaks???? I've never really dealt with rejection and I feel Im going to have to learn to face it. My friends have been supportive but I need to talk to people who can relate and from what I've seen this is the place to come to. My Dr said I have type 1&2 does that mean I'll break out on my lips as well?? Omgeeeeee so many questions and I'm running out of confidence.... Which has Never been an issue for me. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!!
