Thank you so much for the info! It definitely helped! I am still staying positive in all this. I recently left my bf (for other personal reason) and am now single. I'm still trying to stay positive in the relationship aspect of this. Although every now an then I feel so scared in telling someone one day. even if its in a positive way it just sucks. My Dr. gave me meds for a year I haven't been taking it regularly so i have a slight outbreak but i think it was because of my period a couple weeks ago. I'm not sure if I want to take meds because I'm afraid my body will rely on it and not build the immunity it needs to fight off OB naturally. Ive also have seen other discussion forums on here saying to take the meds when you are in a relationship, why is this? Also I have been told by the dr that i have G-hsv1 when i had my first major outbreak i had symptoms of really dry skin on the back of my ears and almost like dehydrated lips. Does this mean i might also have it in my mouth? I never broke out there, even when my major first outbreak happened down under.. can i still share drinks (even with straws)? utensils? Ive been avoiding these things with family and friends. Thanks again! Much love!

Hello, recently found out I have herpes...(feels weird even typing it). I got on medication and am trying to keep it dry (my Dr. told me to keep it dry to heal my sores) and I come to see that I might be starting my period!! How does this work during an outbreak? it feels better than the first couple days (last wed I believe 06/11) but still I'm not sure what to use. I usually have a diva cup that i out up there but I'm not sure if i should even do that...do i just go back to the old school way and use pads? Help please! :(
