I was on my way to my old therapist when I found out. I def told ther! You just have to feel comfortable with that person and have a relationship where you know you can talk about anything! It takes time to find a therapist sometimes, it's truly like dating, but you'll find someone! Good luck!

I havent. :-/ I'll have to find another doctor that will test me for hsv again. The one I have said no. Smh. The cold sores scabbed up fell off. (Ew) Is that even normal for cold sores? And I think I have another sore/Pimple on my left butt cheek. Lol uughh

I remember seeing your name! This week is is herpeversary! 2 years. Might be why I'm hysterical. Might be pms. Who knows. Lord. Lol Anyway, you guys make me feel normal. Like someone gets it! Hugs to you all <3

Hi guys, it's been awhile. Hope you're all well! I Know you guys always say that hsv-2 doesn't pass from your genitals to your mouth. But yesterday I started playing with my face and trying to pop what I thought were pimples. They didn't even look like pimples really. Just a bump under my skin that kinda hurt by my lip. I popped them and a water like substance came out, then blood. One started peeling and now I have a big scab where it was. The other is a lot smaller and looks similar. Both kinda hurt, but not much. Went to my horrible pcp bc he was the only person available and he refused to give me a swab test, told me it's not even a swab test, it's scraping, and I already have hsv-2 and take meds so there's nothing more to do. Rude. Said it kinda looks herpetic, nurse said it could be but she doesn't know unless they do testing. And he def didn't add herpes testing to my blood work. Smh Now I don't know what is going on on my face. I've never had this happen before and idk what the protocol with sex is when you have oral hsv-2. Or is it even hsv-1/2?? I'm stressing myself out and can feel an outbreak coming. But I'm on 1000mg everyday so I don't get it! :( help if you can? Thank you <3

Yes! I've only had this like once or twice and it's really small. It looks like when I tweezed my upper lip and cut myself, but I don't recall plucking in that area.

I tested negative for hsv-1 last year. I'm getting retested soon though. @2legit2quit

I've been on and off valtrex for like a month now and my outbreaks have gone down but today I just noticed a little papercut scratch on my lip. Lately I've been feeling little itches and stuff on my lips but I don't ever get cold sores. I have hsv-2. Should I just take some valtrex? Idk if that's what cold sores are like. :-/

It definitely wasn't prolonged at all! Or real rubbing/friction. I might just have to tell him. Or maybe he'll become a full fledged jerk before then saving me the trouble! Smh. And I will remember that for next time! Thank you!!

Thank you guys. I will definitely try to start yoga again and exercise. Or a creative outlet. I started valtrex, but my doctor only said one a day. It's only been a few days and I still keep getting new tiny sores, so I'll see. I do need to work on myself, I've just been avoiding it. :-/

I agree!! You totally should be out there talking to the masses. It could prob change things for a lot of people. Get people talking and open their minds. Find the time please!!! Lol

I was recently on here freaking out...I'm baaaaaaackkk. Lol jk. I've had hsv-2 in my nether regions for almost a year and a half. Idk if it's the stress of being single again and dating or new position at work, but I've had outbreaks back to back for almost a month and a half now. But I've had small outbreaks before, so what's going on? I thought after a year, your body was kinda used to fighting it off. Should I get on valtrex? It's never been this bad—tiny clusters, a lot of itching, and the closer I get to this guy the worse it gets. :( help, if you're not tired of hearing me rant. Lol ;-*

And I should mention I have a tiny sore right now. And I guess after (hand) touching it got worse. I he wasn't near it much, I think but I'm still slightly worried. I've also noticed that I have had an outbreak in different places all month long. Longer probably. This has never happened. I've had hsv-2 for over a year now. About a year and 4 months.

**Sigh** you guys are a god-send. I definitely understand what you mean about the in to me versus into me part. I think that's why I'm so scared. Because this is a mostly physical relationship, and we wanted to keep it light. This is the opposite of light. Lol But if it makes any difference a good guy friend who I unfortunately don't really like came out and told me he really liked me! And he knows about the hsv!!! So it's not a real disclosure success story, but it did help how I feel about myself. A bit! Thank you guys. I'm going to keep hanging with the other guy and try and tell him soon. I did what you said @wscsdancer2010 and told him about taking it slow! He knows I want to have sex, but I won't. And he's confused, but I think it's a good thing because he's never experienced this before. Lol Things keep getting closer and closer to sex though, and I'm scared I could give it to him from just slight rubbing? Can you? It's not intense grinding or anything, but we did touch quite a few times. Smh. Thanks again. <3333

Thank you so much!! So good info!! I guess I'm just scared of the rejection I will inevitably face. Idk if I can handle it.

Wow. @amethyst21 what a horrible doctor. Hopefully you've found someone better. I feel a lot better now, but I'm still avoiding the talk with the guy I'm talking to. But it'll have to happen eventually if we want to have sex. I'm so scared he's going to reject me.n
