So I recently got engaged!!! But I’m super worried about starting a family when the time comes. I got diagnosed two years ago with ghsv-1 my outbreak aren’t really frequent. I had an outbreak last year in October because of a really bad/first uti. I haven’t had one since but I don’t know how my body would react to a baby. I just don’t want my child to be affected because of me and my wrong judge of men. Any advice out there?

Hello I literally just read this entire thread and honestly this made me feel so much better. I’m 18 diagnosed with ghsv1. I got diagnosed when I was 16 my first bf gave it to me along with another Std. Sucked super hard finding out he was cheating on me and having herpes. Imagine losing your v-card and gaining two Std at 16. But now I’m doing better. I see a therapist ever since then which totally helped. I’m in college now and getting my degree in radiology. I’m now going through my second outbreak that got triggered because I recently got diagnosed with a uti. I don’t drink enough water and I had one once as a child so I’m prone to them along with yeast infection 🤦🏿‍♀️. But any information, tips or tricks are greatly appreciated.

I have been diagnosed with genital hsv1 since April 2020. That was my first outbreak. Recently I got diagnosed with a uti which triggered my current outbreak. So it’s been about a year since I last had one. I’m taking my prescribed medication(aka valtrex) and pain medicine. But any tips or tricks that can help? Anything that can help with the itching and burning of the blisters down there would be nice. I’ve been putting apple cider vinegar diluted with water on my area to help.
