@Flowerteacher55 thank you so much for your help through all my questions! The only thing that was on the cut was a little bit of blood but it wasn’t even runny it was almost like stamped over it and the cut was very thin almost like a paper cut. I wasn’t able to get it swabbed this weekend unfortunately because every place is closed down for Easter but it seems to have healed. Now it’s just itchy and burns but no cut and almost no redness. It is still uncomfortable. I might have to wait till the next time it shows up to get it checked.

@Flowerteacher55 I was tested that same time for all of that and told everything was fine down there but even tho I was positive for this virus it was dormant so it wasn’t manifesting anywhere. It does burn and itch down there to be honest and it looks like there’s a little cut that I don’t remember making. This has happened to me before usually when it’s my time of the month so I hadn’t thought much about it, I just thought it was normal to have an uncomfortable period. Now I’m scared. Could low vitamin d also prevent the virus from staying in one place? Thanks for your help!

@Flowerteacher55 sorry I know it’s been a while, I have been dealing with this in not such healthy ways if I’m honest. I had a question though because I have not been receiving help from my doctors. I was told my problem was only cold sores but in these last few days I’ve been noticing cuts, redness and feeling itchy in my genital area. The person I believe passed it on to me didn’t put their mouth there ever though. Is it possible for it to just appear in my private parts even tho they passed it to my mouth? Or if they touched me there with their hands could it also have passed there that way? I’m really stressed and confused right now. Hope you are well!

I’ll give them a call tomorrow since they’re closed today. Hopefully they can clear some stuff up for me. Thank you so much for all the information you’ve given me also! I didn’t know anything about this. I thought I knew the basics of it but I now realize I didn’t. I feel a little calmer and a little less scared now so thank you so much!

Thank you for saying such kind words. I appreciate them so much right now. it was a blood test. They didn’t tell me what type it was. They just told me I have it and that apparently I have a history of it. I had never tested positive before though. It was an appointment through call so they weren’t thorough. They just said it wasn’t a big deal that whenever I got a sore that I could put over the counter ointment and that’s it. I’m very confused about the whole thing

I am in my 20s, have only had 1 sexual partner years ago and another boyfriend late last year who I kissed but didn’t have sex with. I just got a check up and they told me I have mouth herpes but it’s dormant and that I have a history of it. I didn’t realize herpes was incurable, I didn’t know I had it and I don’t know who exactly I got it from as I had not seen a doctor in years. My father who recently cheated on my mother (we just found out) also has a terrible habit of eating from our food/drinks and then not telling us and not finishing it so we won’t notice. It could’ve been him as well? I am afraid now to spread it, I won’t keep it from a future partner, I’ll obviously tell them about it so they can make their own choices but I feel like no one will want to be with me knowing I have it anyway. I am so sad and angry, I feel like all I can do now is cry. I am also not straight, I’ve dated mostly men but I feel like herpes will make it more complicated if I want to date a woman especially sexually. I am scared please help me. I just want to live normally. I know I won’t die from this but I feel like my life won’t be the same anymore.
