Every month I seem to have an OB. My Ob consist of usually one or two sores right next to each other. I have asked questions before of how can I heal it faster and I read some comments in where people have said drying it with alcohol. I know is going to sting like a mother $#@% ... but its like when you get a cut you put alcohol to disinfected it and so whenever you shower it wont sting anymore. Is it the same process for these sores ? These sore are very stressing and make me feel like crap and I have been diagnosed with H 5 months ago and it hasn't been any easier. every time I get an OB it lowers my self esteem so down that I just want to be lock in a room and cry day and night. Its really tough when you don't have a friend or anyone who knows what your going through other than the really nice people that are on this site. By the way Happy Halloween :)

hey don't feel bad im only 22 and I have hv2 and my pap smear came back abnormal and as if getting the Herpes news wasn't horrible right after he said that he also said that my pap smear was abnormal and made it seem like it wasn't a big deal little did he know I wanted to jump off a building. long story short I had a different doctor who was very kind and explained to me that to get cancer from hpv is rare and it usually only happens to those who don't follow up with they pap smear.

There are some days when I wake up hopeless, wishing there was a cure for Herpes. the H word makes me so nervous and scare. for some reason I here HIV I feel scare and so much guilt and I know I have been passed the stage in where I didn't know the difference between Herpes and HIV. but my brain finds a way to make me feel bad as if having Herpes was like having HIV. one of the reason is because now that I have Herpes, I cant donate blood and I used to love helping others. I just hope that no family member ever needs blood from me. its been 5 months since finding out I have Herpes and its been a tough and I feel happy at times but then I go back to remembering how much pain I felt when the doctor said I have Herpes. I just wish there was a cure!!!

I think he recommended me that cream because it stings once I pee. I stop using the cream and I found it effective because the sores stopped hurting right away. im also going to buy L-Lysine tomorrow. thank you guys so much.

when having an OB is it a good I idea to put cream on the sore, when I was diagnosed with Herpes the doctor said to use any antibiotic cream to heal the pain a bit. My OB are usually are so far only two sores right next to each other on my left vulva lip. Does putting cream heal it faster because I read some info that said its better to keep it dry down there while having an OB to heal it faster. Is this true?

thank you so much im going to a CVS tomorrow to get it and start taking it. I really hope it works on me.

he hasn't gotten any cold sores at all. when I got my first OB he too got a sore in his penis and that was it, I supposed maybe his immune system is stronger. I do know that there are tons of people who have Herpes and will never know it because they show no symptoms because of a good immune system. it just doesn't make sense that I never got an OB until 5 months ago after having sex with someone for 2 years. He knows he's the one who gave it to me because I was a virgin when I first met him and he gave me my first kiss and everything. He hates the fact that transmitted Herpes to me without knowing he had it and I by no mean blame him at all. I just find it weird I never gotten an OB until now.

Hey golddust, looks like we are both in the same boat. I too attend college and I wish I had the courage to tell my parents that I have Herpes but I know they would hate me and judge me more than they already do. I'm only 22 and I'm still living with my parents and I know if I was to ever tell my siblings they will pretty much bring it up whenever they get angry at me. writing this comment to you made me cry because I'm the person who has always been picky in every way possible I never drink from anyone cup couldn't eat from the same spoon as someone else, and to top it off I got Herpes and I have only been with one person in my entire life and probably staying that way forever. I understand how you feel and believe me you're one strong person, I was diagnosed with Herpes 5 months ago and it took me all that time to start thinking straight and realizing there are people going through a lot of worse things like Cancer. I live in NYC and I think no other city is more judgmental than this one, I know your pain. Feel free to message me it would really help to have a normal convo with someone who is going through the same thing. I admire you're courage to tell your family and deal with it as a grown women but remember no matter how grown you're we still have feelings and emotions we cannot always control. Hope to hear from you :)

I don't understand how I have been dating my Bf for over 2 years and I had not one single OB and suddenly I happened to get an OB and after that I have been getting probably 2 more OB and I just don't understand why didn't I get OB before. I trust my BF but it just doesn't add up and I have never been with anyone else ever, unless he had slept with someone while being with me and contracted Herpes. I know he has had partners before me, but we have been in a serious relationship and sexually active for 2 years. five months ago I was diagnosed with Herpes and it just doesn't make since that after all that time of being sexually active I had an OB. My bf has been very supportive and I honestly don't know what ill do without his support but it just doesn't quite make since to me can anyone help me out. Please :(

Getting an OB is making me feel like the first time I got the news of having Herpes, I sitting here in my bedroom dying to cry my eyes out but holding back because I have family members who are here with me right now and have no idea of what I go through. I just cant imagine the rest of my life feeling this way, and I hate myself for feeling so weak knowing that there are people going through worse things than this. I cant help it I pitty myself so much. im only 22 and im going to be dealing with this for the rest of my life and it makes me feel so sad. Every time I get an OB I don't want to feel this way. I want to make my Immune system stronger I don't know how to make it stronger. I don't want to take the pills for Herpes that the doctor prescribes. Its been 5 long months since finding out I have Herpes and it hasn't been easy but I have come a long way from that person who I became who just wished to die and thought of suicidal thought. I'm really thanksful for this website because I honestly don't know where I would be right now.

So what is Lysine and how does it help with Herpes and if I was to buy it on my own in the pharmacy will people automatically know that is for Herpes? I haven't really gotten OB but since im back to college, i stress myself way too much and I want to try to prevent getting OB's.

Ohh so I guess I just got my second outbreak, it makes me feel so overwhelmed and defeated. I only got one sore and its been there for a few days and I just put antibiotics ointment cream and try and atleast twice a day check if it has spread anywhere else and so far it hasn't I feel like the sore is going away because before it hurt but now it doesn't. Can you guys explain to me why hasn't it spread, I'm sorry for all the questions I just don't know much about it and the more I know the easier I can deal with it. Thank you :)

I was tested for hsv2, I have only had one OB which is the one that I found out I have genital herpes.

Is an OB consider just having one little sore or a maybe 5 or more??

Wow this video made me cry all the way from the beginning to the end, such a beautiful video that tells nothing but the truth. i can honestly say i wouldn't be recovering from my mental break down after finding out i have herpes with out you @Dancer2010 never did i know someone could help me and influence me and encourage me via internet the way you did. i will forever be thankful and grateful for everything you have done. I do plan to some day spill it all out because i do realize is the only way to actually live a happy free life, i know the timing is not right and i'm not sure i'm ready to handle criticism and i can already be my worse critic. Thank you so much because really i would wake up with suicidal thought everysingle day and life was worthless since finding out i have Herpes nothing excited me and i lose my purpose in life and i'm not sure if you remember a girl who posted about NYPD not being able to hired her because of Herpes, well that was me and you hit me straight up with facts and opened my eyes to reality and not the negative thinking i was building up inside of me. I may never get to meet you but you truly safe my life, and yes i'm still struggling but i have faith now and knowledge that i didn't have before. I truly hope to someday help others the way you helped me. I'm a waterfall right now but these are tears of happiness and i know there would be more happy tears in the future. Thank you <3
