Hi, well some people feel the symptom's much stronger when they getting an outbreak much then other people. Usually I get this itchy burning feeling and my lymph nodes around my upper leg are sweeling.I am not always get flue symptom's but sure it deepens how big your outbreak is.Normally I get first tiny little white bumps which get shortly after that red and the next day I see like a big red bump and later on get this yellow pad on it but sure its possible that you don't get any of my symptoms maybe you immune system is much stronger. to your second question a lot of people swear on l lysine and it seem to help them so maybe you can give it a try. You only should take antivirals when you have constantly outbreaks or when you with a non herpes partner because this will reduce the risk of transmission. A lot of people don't see any relation inn food but for me for example I cant eat nuts anymore, as soon as I eat them I get 1 day later an outbreak. You should eat as much healthy food as you can ( Fruits, veggies , fish , egg..so on) AS vitamin I only can suggest vitamin c with the rest the industry only take money put of your pocket. From my site I eat my food with a lot with coconut oil and lot of turmeric because this are natural antivirals...and they quit healthy anyway. Let me know if you have anymore question. Have a good day

Well as long she don't have an outbreak or any symptom's the chance is only by 2 percent too so talk about it and decide together .No worry you still be able to have fun :)

Hi Yellar, well the chance to contracting H is much lower if you take condoms and your partner take antivirals , the infection rate deepens which H version she have. If she have Herpes 1 the chance of infection is a bit lower then Herpes2 buts this are only some percent .Maybe you should check Adrials website he have couple of articles about transmission rate.(think it called E BOOK) Well but to give you an example to get infected with Herpes is more or less the same chance like to get killed by an car accident.( you still go in the car after I told you that you can dye??? guess so...well I hate airplanes but I still fly even I hate it like hell and I know I can dye) Well bro so that's not to much risk at least, you need to be careful, take protection and she need listen to her symptom's. The truth is , if you fuck around the risk is much higher to get H then with your partner because antivirals will take the risk down.So no worry enjoy your new relationship.hope it helped, any question let me know

Hi Jayy, first I would like to welcome to this great website and yes its a opportunity, it will help you to understand that you absolutely not disgusting, dirty or not lovable. You are still the same beautiful person you have been before, maybe you even better because you reach out here and share you secret feelings and help not only you...no you help us with this fearless H movement .I remember how I was struggling In my first weeks/ month, I was falling in this black whole, I was suicidal, I felt I am not lovable ,that nobody will accept me but what I learned first about H (well first after drinking couple of bottles of rum. and self destroying moments..yeah sorry for that ) that's not what people think of me , its what you think and learn about yourself. Its need time but you will realize that H can give you a opportunity to grow as a person , even you are still that young. Nobody earn to get H but if you have sexual relationships it can always happen , doesn't matter if you had 1 or 50 partners. I always used condoms to protect myself but I still got H and HPV ....bad luck or destiny who knows :)well its really important that's you don't ask yourself where or who you got it from , the question will eat you and at the end it doesn't matter....it really doesn't matter. Let it go and start to accept it even it will need quit a while but after a while you will see how different you feel about Darling I wish you a great yourney...it will make you stronger even if you cant see that yet. Promise. Big Hug

A pitch black closet is not a place of a person to live...you so right girl. I love that show

HI, really great and honest post man. You choose directly the right way ,you choose that herpes give you an opportunity to be better and more self accepting person. I couldn't go this journey so soon as you when I got H but everyone have his own struggle with that. At the end herpes is probably more a blessing then the poor companion as we see it in the beginning. Herpes gives us time to think about our self and it gives us the chance to have a deep look at our self and other person even its sometimes very painful and confusing. I am still on my way ,I am not as far as Adrial is but I will keep on going till I see the light :) Keep your head up as you do already. Wish you the best. :) I like the quote of Ralph Waldo Emerson...well said

This pictures show love, anxiety ,security, death and love again. very sad but still kind of beautifull

Hi engineerbabe, your symtoms sound like herpes but you should make a test to make sure. Little bumbs and itchy feeeling sounds very much like herpes even if you didnt had any symtoms the last 2 years before....herpes breaks out whenever you under stress or your immunsystem is down.Some people have it since 30 years and at one point it break out and they never showed any symtoms before.Go to the doctor and tell them your history over past 2 years only to make sure its not h or even if its is H its not the end of the worl.d..at least you know what you deal with.get well.judith

HI abbyroad, it sound like you have really good connection so why not disclosing tonight,sure put some words together and try to make him understand that herpes is not that big deal.I never disclosed but i would first start with why i wanne tall him something so personal ...what he mean to me and after this you give him the facts about herpes if he maybe not already know about.I wish you god luck and happy halloween (what will be you costume choose something nice and sexy hehehhe)good luck :)

HI DSF, if you both take suppressive medicin you still can contract HSV 1 at your lips, you should avoid to kiss her if she having an outbreak.....you still can get an outbreak even if you have HSV1 too.You only need an little open wound and couple of ours later you get an OB on your lips.So please dont make any body contact in this area at this time.well if she have an OB at here lips kiss here in diffrent areas :)the body is a big landscape.have fun :)

HI , yes the period always plays a big role in a female body,if i get my outbreaks i always get it short before or in my period....in that time our lovely woman hormans freak out bbbbbbaaaaaaaaaah.Sure at this time you need to be much more carefully if you have a partner ,listen to your symtoms but it dont mean every woman get outbreaks at this time, maybe you are one of the lucky ones and you dont get any OB.Antivirales do make a big change but please only take it if you really need it or if you are in an relatioship.Hope you get better soon.Judith

Hi, sorry i m not from the USA but as far i know there are in the whole world specialist for genital diseases(not for H at all but for all kind of diseases) but for sure you gyno is always the first option.....i am sure they saw a lot of herpes in they live.20 percent of every american have it so they must have seen it and can help you with that.Anyway if its a specialist or not they always give you the option for bloodtest(if you have right insurance ,i know in america its diffrent then its in europe) and they can give you recept for anti virales.Non of them will tell you someting new , you need to have a healthy and stressless live that the virus keep calm.There are people who dont get any outbreaks but there are some who get every 1 or 2 month. OB..in this case you need antivirales to fight the virus.Sorry i couldnt been a help for san diego area but H is the same all over planet....be healthy , be stressless and maybe you can search for H support group...i am sure there is one in your area...its good to talk with people who have the same condition.HERE YOU ARE in the right place :)Herpes Opportunity :) good luck

Hi , i tried L lysine too but it dont show any affect but a lot of people swear on that,give it a try and you will see

HI, i do get herpes on my mouth from my mother when i was around 8 but i think she had an open outbreak but you shouldn't worry to pass it to your kids when you dont show any herpes symptoms. 90 percent of humans have this virus HSV-1 .Actually i wasnt aware of the possibilty that i could get or give herpes 1 to another person when i give him oral sex but sure i never did it when i had an outbreak. So it could be that i gave it to my ex or he had it before and gave it to me, it doesn't matter because its the past ......dont hold on that.I am sorry that he don't wanna have sex with you after he gave it to you , in your case its really obviously that he gave it to you (because you got both in one night), thats quit bad things to say. Anyway i give you a big hug, thinks will get better...i am sure.keep your head up

Hi , if you have like a small white head bumbs it really sounds like herpes, what else it can be...i have a friend who never get symptoms before he get an outbreak but at one point H show it face , you never know. I can feel it before but little white bumbs sound really like H.so if you have it you know

Yes kuro is right you better off...what a dickhead.......well its good you disclosed and you know what kind of person he is..stay away off this bastard.how he can say he would fuck you with H but dont have feelings ...this make no since....you will find somebody smarter and better...i think this is not that difficult...what an idiot.Sorry ( but its true )

Ok Thanks :)so its not only me

HI Nic, thanks for your post.Actually i talked yesterday by dinner about it,I have friends who tell me that they together with someone new but they dont think thats the right person to spend longer time.I always ask myself why you waste your time with that person then....you know it will not work out till the end of your life?????But honestly i guess i done the same in the past several times , probably i was scared to be alone ,to have no sex ...not having attencion of somebody .Anyway you realized the reason you broke up was not H, the love was gone and that happend but now you free and sure you need to deal with H but it will make you more sure about the person you meet.You will give more attention and you dont start a relationship with every nice attractiv guy you meet...you will decide more carefully...thats a really good thing...i didnt meet anyone nice since i got H but its because i have a deapper look at myself , H and guys.You will see what i mean.I send you a big hug

Hi , Adrial is right but in one point i disagree.Adrial you alway say that the outbreak are at the same point , maybe there is a diffrence between hsv 1 and 2 but i do get outbreaks on diffrent areas, it change to every outbreak.Sometimes i get it to the upper or lower part of my private area :) there are some point where i get more often outbreaks but it always change a bit , naybe this only count for herpes 1 , not sure (maybe you have some statistic on that :):) would be great .Thanks Judith

Hi , usually i do have this little red bumbs/blisters outside my vagina. Before i usually get this itchy burning feeling and sometimes my lymph nodes swell on. Sometimes its only a little bit red, its depends.

hi, why your sister react with fear if 90 percent contract with hpv till they are 50...maybe she have it too but she dont show any symtoms because it cleared up itself...or maybe her boyfriebd have it (if she have one), there is no regular test for man.Seriously only make sure that you get tested regular and that they freeze your warts if you find some.If you do the test you at least know whats going on.I know so much girls who never go to gynecologist, i know its not very nice thing to do but its important to know whats going on down there.I had HPV before herpes and i told couple of guy i never got rejected for that, they have read about it and they knew that nearly everyone have it .It dont scare me to tell guys i have hpv ,it scares me a bit because it can make cancer....doctor still dont know much about it because there are hundreds of diffrent typs but the chance to get cancer is still low.

Hi, i tried to fight herpes over one and a half year without suppresiv medication but i constanly got 1 outbreak per month(sometimes 2) short before my period.I take now valtrex daily since 2 month and i dont got any outbreaks and i have so much less symtoms.The thing is there are people who are eat healthy , do sport and all that stuff but they still get constantly outbreaks.I am not sure why it is that way but yes i am sure i will get outbreaks with this medication too but at least i give me some time to breath and i dont have every day this itchy burning feeling.I need to say i tried Acyclovir before but it dont saw any affect on my herpes.Doctor say that there is no diffrence between this medication but i could see that there is one....not sure why.

HI Jessi, i do have hpv and hsv too, there are a lot of people who have both.When i told my doctor in spain they only said everyone have hpv , thats so much in common why you care.All girl i have lived in shared flat had once or more a possitiv test on HPV.What kind of symtoms do you have...why you think you have HPV (you have warts ?)dont listen to your friend sure you will need to get tested.90 percent of HPV clear up itself but 10 percent make cancer so please do regular test on that.I actually got my results today and they have been all fine....i need to say i think its because i changed my diat.For example to eat with coconut oil didnt helped for my herpes but my results for HPV are always good since i eat twice a day with it...maybe you can read a bit of that.Anyway when you meet somebody you will need to disclose both even HPV is not a big deal in that case.Get tested Jessi.Stay strong :)

Hi, yep you should get tested only to make sure that you not one of the asymptomatic carier but usually you will see the antibodys in you bloodtest after 6 month , so maybe you should wait a bit longer to make sure you get the right result. I guess he had problems to finish it because he was afraid of contracting the virus to you. People with herpes are always paranoid about this kind of things , its always in our mind....and sure we dont wanne give it to somebody else but the chances are really low on that.Have a good day

Hi Northoftheborder, do you have pain in your whole leg or only in the upper part?Its quit usuall if you get pain in your upper legs around your lymph node, this shows that your body try to fight the virus and your immunsystem is high active. I do get this symtomes sometimes too and it can show up before an outbreak but after OB is still possible too.
