  1. When I first found out I was devastated I nearly passed out in my doctor office I was angry but I had no one to be angry at I had no clue who my giver was because there was no way to tell when it was passed to me & on top of that I decide to have sex with who I was having sex with at that moment so I quickly got over the fact it was something I was going to have for life and started researching what life would be like with herpes and figuring out how I can go about treatment which has helped my anxiety stop flaring up when I thought about life with hsv 1 & 2.
  2. @WCSDancer2010 Thanks again I got desitin max strength & it way better it stays in place
  3. I found out I was hsv 1 & 2 + the first week of August this year my knees buckled & I nearly passed out the only thing that stopped me was the fact my cousin picked me up to go get my results & she was waiting in the car they put my mind at ease when the doctor told me to come back in 4wks because my levels was low I literally went on as if I didn't have it until my next testing because I never had any symptoms I was gonna wait for 6wks but I noticed I was having a yeast infection but it had new symptoms like burning, & my vagina got swollen which is why I wondered if it could be the fact that I'm hsv 1 & 2 + positive now that my vagina reacted differently because I only had two yeast infections twice before with no symptoms I just so happen to catch it because I knew when I had bv so I go in for it to be confirmed. So I got tested again 5wks later for hsv 1 & 2 & for yeast all came back positive first thing I did was searched to see if I can still have babies, deliver naturally & breastfeed which I am so my mind was at ease. Then I started to think who I could of got it from which I was clueless on because the whole time I usually went to get tested I never was tested for herpes so I don't know where in the timeline to begin I was angry but at the same time I did decide to also partake in sex without protection but after doing research I seen I could of gotten it from shedding I haven't had a ob on my cervix only at the top start of of my outer labia & a rash looking on the rest of my outer labia which is why I want to find out sooner then later if its hsv 1 or 2 that caused the ob on my vagina. My first ob started 4 1/2 weeks after of confirming I believe it was due to stress I cried mostly because of the who gonna want me scenario I got over it once I realized how many people live with it & how many people had successful disclosures to hsv- partners & have an healthy relationship. I first disclosed to my bestfriend & it just so happen she had too 2yrs before me she put my mind at ease even more & our bond has become at an ultimate high. Stress triggers it there's no doubt about that & I also have anxiety as well as high blood pressure so I try to stay calm but I tend to stress without knowing what I'm stressing about so I just keep my mind at peace & not let things get to me have been the biggest help on staying stress free & talking to my bestfriend of course so try not to worry.
  4. @WCSDancer2010 Ok thanks I'm going to give them a call tomorrow
  5. @ WCSDancer2010 Im just seeing this thank you
  6. @WCSDancer2010 My insurance doesn't cover quest lab so where else could I go for the western bolt test
  7. @seeker Yes from the bloodwork I tested positive for both hsv 1 & 2 I definitely passed the 48hr window because it was my first outbreak & it looked like a rash so I figured it was a reaction to one day pill I took for a yeast infection I took for the first time 2wks prior because most of the side effects listed did happen but once one sore appeared I realized it was outbreak because the urge itch started to take place so I went get it swabbed 12days after the first symptom @WCSDancer2010 This is my Obgyn for the bloodwork it was igg Hsv1 >8.0 Hsv2 3.0 Then when I retested 5wks later same result Hsv1 >8.0 Hsv2 3.0 It wasn't a ingrown hair I had that before & I will tweeze the hair out so the bump go away this was definitely an outbreak because it was an open sore & I never had that on my vagina before & when I called in to make an appointment the nurse sent the prescription for Valacyclovir for me to take to see if it work & that's when it started to heal @ihaveittoo & @WCSDancer2010 What's the western blot?
  8. I recently found out I'm positive for hsv1/2 in August from my blood test then came back 4 weeks to get retested through bloodwork & it confirmed I was hsv1/2+ in September. In October I got tested through swab because I had an outbreak but it was in the healing stage I got my results today & it came back hsv1/2- I asked if it came back inconclusive & the nurse said no she didn't understand it either it because it didn't say inconclusive it said negative so the doctor gonna call me back so he can explain so I can understand what's going on have anyone ever had results like this I'm pretty sure I had an outbreak 1 sore at the top in between the cease of where my outer labia part I had no itching or irritation & a rash looking outbreak where my outer labia touch I had itching & irritation there(irritation which I believe was bought on due to having hair growing back there I hate hair I like to stay bare) even when I went to get swabbed in October even though it was healing he said it looked like an outbreak. Had anyone had similar results where blood work confirmed positive for the hsv antibodies but swab came back negative for hsv1/2 & not inconclusive?
  9. Oh ok thank you so much @WCSDancer2010 I just lay off that type of condom for the rest of the year
  10. First I want to say thank you to everyone on this site the discussions I read have definitely not only been helpful but educational I recently found out I'm positive for hsv1/2 in August from my blood test & should find today through swab hopefully because it was in the healing stage (An outbreak I believe was triggered from stressing out on being hsv1/2 positive) My mind have since been at ease due to this website & disclosing to my bestfriend who also positive. I have read on webmd that condoms that contain spermicide nonoxynol-9 can irritate the vaginal membrane & the first thing I did was search my partner condom of choice trojan fire & ice & it contains spermicide nonoxynol-9. My question is have anyone who hsv1/2 positive used condoms containing spermicide nonoxynol-9 & it triggered an outbreak or irritation?
  11. @WCSDancer2010 Do you know some brands of brand of zinc ointment I can use cause the ones I keep seeing are saying it for lips & I don't want to get the wrong one
