Thank you Herry! I would love to get back to red wines and roses! My bf has spent a lot of time blaming himself. I've just finally gotten him to realize that we are in this together and it's ok to move forward and get back to "us"! I've seen several post about using lube (which will be new for us) & will give it a try. Thanks for the info about the percentage of people experiencing outbreaks from sex. :)

I tested positive for hsv2 earlier this year. My boyfriend is also hsv2 positive. Since the testing and accepting things, we are slowly trying to get things back on track sexually. He doesn't get outbreaks, I've had a few outbreaks with mild symptoms, one or two spots. Last night we tried and it went pretty well. I felt a sort of scratchy feeling. This morning, I have a small open tear. It is in the usual spot, so I am trying to figure out if this is aggravation or an actual outbreak? It's not too bad or painful. My last outbreak was a month ago, so everything should've been healed. I have yet to take any antivirals because my outbreaks are mild. Maybe I should or just wait and see how I feel the next few days. All of the outbreaks I have had, heal within a few days. I'm just hoping for some guidance because I don't want to derail the progress we are trying to make with our intimacy. I appreciate any help :)
