1. 95% sure who I got it from, and no, he was unaware that he had it and asymptomatic 2. after the first time having sex I felt off (possible prodrome), 2nd time I had symptoms the very next day and progressed rapidly 3. yes, and then no 4. no, due to the fact he was unaware Patiently waiting for both of our blood test results, but maybe that won't even give us straight forward answers that would make the most sense out of this! There's too many potentials with this virus... :/

Ok thank you!

Oh, another question...when is it "safe" to kiss after an outbreak?? Or is there never a "safe" time? :(

HUGS!!! I have to get used to saying that to myself!!

Thank you for feedback. Our first time having sex was 5 days prior to our second time. And now the more I've thought about the symptoms and the timing of everything I felt completely off the days in between us having sex. Felt tired, unmotivated (and I am very active and go to the gym regularly and exercise on the same days every week and I had zero interest) and very blah and almost "out of it" like unable to focus on doing little tasks, kind of wandering ... (Just to mention also, my symptoms were very obvious and very painful, especially when urinating!! The amount of bumps/lesions on my vagina tripled it seems overnight. I've been on generic Valtrex and I started to see an improvement in just a few days. Lucky me! by the sounds of other peoples outbreaks things could have been a lot worse.) So, I chalked it up to mercury being in retrograde which usually messes things up for me too but now maybe this was my prodrome?? I was curious as to why I had my first outbreak after the second time being with him and now this makes a lot of sense. I did finally disclose with him yesterday, after being so nervous and going over and over in my head how I was going to get it out ...and he had NO idea whatsoever. He said he has never had cold sores and never had anything on his genitals. But he did have mono a few years back...wondering if there could be any connection with that? He's going to the doctor on Wednesday for PE and blood work. He was obviously taken back but was concerned and we are figuring all this out together! Thank you again and we will both get the IGG test run.

Ok so just found out 2 days ago that I tested positive for HSV1 through a culture. I immediately started showing symptoms the next day after having a very long sexual experience with my new partner. Our second time having oral and vaginal sex over and over for multiple hours in a row. Extreme Burning while urinating, small bump appeared on my vagina, different discharge, very beginning of cold cores in the corners of my mouth and kept progressing rapidly into the next day. Went to my doctor right away and she was very suspicious of herpes bc of these symptoms and also lesions on my cervix. I've never had symptoms before, ever. Bc of my acute symptoms, she said it's highly likely that this new partner was shedding and transmitted the virus to me. Can I assume this is true?? Or is there a chance that I could have had it already and it just so happened to be my very first outbreak?? My partner was asymptomatic. I need to tell him and this website has been so helpful with what and how I am going disclose this information. I just want to be sure I have the correct information!! And another question, so if we both have HSV1 and say one of us has an outbreak and we kiss, will that cause the other to have an outbreak also? Or bc we both already have it it's really our immune system that decides when to cause an outbreak? I appreciate any and all feedback!! This virus has me Confused....
