  1. about a month or so ago I was visually diagnosed by two separate doctors with herpes. They didn't even take a swab and explained to me that it couldn't possibly be anything else, gave me Valtrex and sent me on my way. They didn't even tell me there were two types of the virus, I had to find out and do research for myself. They didn't give me any statistics and they didn't explain shedding, or explain any preventive measures for my partners, they just told me whether my partners got it or not would be "luck of the draw". So I went and got a blood test and it came up negative for anything. So now what? Do I disclose? Am I a hypothetical risk or what? I'm so confused.
  2. so today I just found out I have type 1 herpes genitally. What does this mean for me now? What are the differences between type 1 & 2 genitally? If there is any at all ?
  3. I've been taking Valtrex twice a day for about a week now (1000mg pills). But the day before yesterday I started getting itchy but it's been in random places at random times, yesterday my arms broke out in hives and today it's my upper back. Has anyone else had this problem or one like it?
  4. I was just diagnosed with genital herpes this past week, it happened during a break up between my boyfriend and I. we found out a couple days after we got back together that I had it. Luckily we hadn't had sex. And he's decided to stay with me and we're working through it and trying to find out as much as possible. I guess my main concerns are, is there anyone else in a situation like mine where you're positive and your partner isn't? What do you do to be safer and reduce the risk of spreading it? If you did spread it to your partner how did it effect your relationship? It's hard finding good advice for being intimate as most people on the Internet are ignorant and rude. I haven't been able to find any solid advice or experiences with dentals dams or oral with condoms. But mostly we're just worried about the intimacy being gone. It's just frustrating, if anyone can address anything in this post I would greatly appreciate it!
