@Mirabella7 Thanks so much for replying! Yeah, I also have type 1. I'm glad to hear you two are doing well then :) cross fingers for me.

Oh, btw, i have genital hsv1 that i got from someone with oral hsv1. They thought they just had a bad zit on their lip. They didn't know they were infected.

@2legit2quit Yeah, I almost told my boyfriend about my scare tonight but realized he has work in the morning so I'll bring it up later when we don't need the sleep. . . Just so he knows to look for anything weird. I'll keep y'all updated on that. But about my ex- no, he wasn't mad. A bit disappointed, I honestly felt worse about it than him. He assured me it wasn't my fault and he knew the risks. After a short while it was a non-issue for both of us. We had an extremely messy breakup in the end but herpes was never mentioned- it was really the last thing on our minds, especially because he never had another outbreak. Actually herpes hasn't been an issue at all for me until the autumn of 2013 when I started dating my current partner. Maybe I am sensitive to his biology. . . .

I've never had a problem with telling partners. I came down with herpes 1 early, after my 3rd partner when I was 14/15. All of my partners have been understanding and I've told every one of them, I've had about 19 different partners since then. I've only infected one person- and that was an ex that I was with for years. And it was basically him wanting to have sex after I was symptomatic. I should have just said no, I told him what was up but he insisted. At that point I hadn't had an outbreak in 2 years. So 2 weeks later he had a very tiny outbreak and has never had one since then, that I know of. I was young and being dumb, so was he, and I think we just got too comfortable with our situation and weren't thinking. All in all in the end it didn't effect us or him too much. I'm really worried about the guy I'm with now though. He had a long term relationship with another girl that had herpes- and we've been together for 2 years and have been somewhat careful. He knows the risk- but that doesn't put my mind at ease. tonight really threw me off. I'm sincerely hope that bump showed up later, and not that I didn't notice it during sex :/

I'm currently 28- so a bit young but then again my mom went through menopause in her late 30's.Still have been having clockwork menstruation and such. I wonder if birth control might help? I haven't been on suppressive therapy at all but now I'm considering it.

@Countrygirl21 has anything happened yet or is he okay?

Hey there all. . . .I've had herpes now for about 13 years and it's been very manageable. it was really bad the first year or two but after that I barely ever got any outbreaks, once every couple of years maaayyybbee, anyway, about a year and a half ago I started having more outbreaks and now I'm up to 1-2 outbreaks a month. The only thing I've been doing differently is I got a new partner around the time my outbreaks got worse and we've been together ever since. He knows, and hasn't gotten it yet- but now they're happening so sporadically it's making sex stressfull. Even tonight- about an hour after sex I noticed one small sore bump that I didn't notice all day, or before sex! So now I'm worried I gave it to him and confused why after more than a decade this is getting worse :/

Hey @Mirabella7 - so how did that turn out for you? I had something similar happen today, didn't notice anything all day then about an hour after sex I noticed a small sore bump inside my labia! My partner and I have been tgether for 2 years, I'm hoping he doesn't get it. I need to ease my mind!
