  1. I love your outlook! Thank you for sharing and spreading positive vibes(:
  2. Shaving was a trigger for me, but only when I didn't wait long enough after my OB, so I just kept prolonging it until I stopped for a while. Now, though, its not a problem!
  3. Wow that is so expensive! I pay 20$ for a month's supply of acyclovir and I live in Maine, USA.
  4. What a good article! Thank you for sharing.
  5. I have ghsv-1 but I couldn't tell you if it was from oral or regular sex. No one I was with had cold sores *to my knowledge, but then again, I guess my BEST friend use to get them, and I never knew that either. Also, didn't know they had it genitally if they did either. The unsolved mystery. I actually brought up oral sex to my current boyfriend, that is the one thing he won't do since I found out about H (to me, he accepts blowjobs no problem, haha.) I said, if you already ever had cold sores its not like I can give it to you again, at first he was adamant that he has never had cold sores, but when I brought it up again recently he said maybe when he was a kid he did. So.... even if he never got another cold sore its still in his body! Just shows, if it was so long ago people don't even remember! Scary thought.
  6. Love your perspective @Positively
  7. I don't know much about HPV and google is a daunting place to try and learn about it. Maybe you could ask her about it? Not only will she most likely be knowledgeable (I feel like an expert on herpes at this point) but it will show that you are at least willing to learn and she will appreciate that. May even help with your connection(:
  8. We all go through this and most of the time we do get H from someone we cared about. Not only does the diagnosis itself hurt, but so does the feeling of betrayal! We all think what if, if only, but sadly life doesn't have a rewind button. The world would constantly run backwards if it did! You're sunny personality will be a great asset on the road to healing! I don't use e-mail much but you can always private message me on here and I use facebook a lot. Also, you have come to the right place there are so many wonderful, compassionate, and knowledgeable people on here! I feel like herpes is spreading so much because either people don't know they have it OR they get drowned in the stigma and are too ashamed or scared to disclose - and too selfish to abstain.
  9. Perspective perspective! (; Either way it is your choice and whatever you are comfortable with.
  10. Well look at it the other way, is she willing to compound her situation with herpes? HPV is the most common std and it isn't usually a big deal at all. In most cases less annoying than H (considering she knows and has been treated so that prevents the cancer). And I thought the hpv that can cause cancer only does in women?
  11. I have GHSV-1, although my current bf doesn't go down on me, which is his choice, still sucks ():) before I ever found out I had H my ex went down on me all the time and he never got a cold sore on his mouth. But idk the risks and if he had genital H then the antibodies would protect him. I read online that genital to oral transmission was rare. period, didn't specify a type. If you have 2 your pretty safe, with 1, probably slightly more of a risk but it doesn't shed as much down there so I would still imagine the risk is small.
  12. @Dave1 Maybe you could get your girlfriend on here! She can get support from all of us and learn how to protect you the best she can(:
  13. I take mine with breakfast and dinner so usually 9 am and 5pm. I find myself chugging water also seeing as the label says to make sure to drink a lot of water
