WCSdancer2010

Diagnosed with ghsv1 3 months ago... Have not has any sexual contact but new partner (h neg) has fingered me a few times. Can he contract hsv1 (oral or genital). When i was diagnosed, it was confirmed by swab test, no oral lesion has presented, and still no oral. No outbreaks as well. But does it mean i have oral too?? Can i kiss someone (french, deep kiss) and get him infected? Also, i met someone new who only has oral hsv1, if i kiss him, can i contract oral hsv1? (Like i said i was swabbed and diagnosd genital hsv1 and no oral presentation at all). Plssss enlighten!

@D12345. Its really hard! Specially its only been a week since i found out. Went to the gym this morning and just listened to music and next thing u know, 2 hrs passed by! I need to get myself together. My son can see im really sad and i dont want him to go through this and be mentally scarred because of me

I found out this week too! But you are braver than me for doing that. I just told one of my bestest friend and he told me that think of it as chance to take care of yourself more to protect yourself and others. Because most have it and dont know that they do! Im still reeling and depress and i pray for calmness and acceptance. I too am starting to like somene and vice versa. The feeling of rejection is so overwhelming. You have done a good thing!

Thank you. We all just need that support and someone who will listen and is going through the same journey! I have to keep my head up for my son. It just so hard right now

As ive been learning, if you do have an open sore/blister, its just wise enough to wash your hands befor u touch yourself or others. And a few people who havd had it for a long time, did say, if u only have hsv2genital, u cannot pass it through kissing, daily activities etc... Ive just been diagnosed this week and im freakin out myself

Are u scared that if you kiss someone in the mouth /french kiss someone and you only have hsv2 genitally is that your going to infect someone?? Thats a question i needed clarification too

Im in the same boat. Just recently found out. Single mom. I am in the getting to know you stage of some one really great and i really like and dont know how to disclose. We had sex before the diagnosis and just completely scared of the future. I hope we keep posted to give support to each other and everyone else here. Its sooo devastating! Thinking of being alone too and focus on being healthy for me and my son! And i know youre thinkng if doing the same

Just did some browsing on line. Anyone heard of BHT and has taken them as suppressive??

@mmissouri thank you. And kissing someone intimately wont pass it too??

I just got diagnosed with hsv2 this week and im afraid of passing it to my son so i know what you are feeling. Can we pass this through daily activities like washing clothes, kissing etc??

I just recently got pos result for hsv2. Can i pass this to my through daily activities? And just started seeing someone and does not know how to strart disclosing. Weve only been seeing each other for a month and had one unprotected sex and this was prior to my result. I do not show any sign or sores down there. I just had my annual exam and asked for full std test with it (hpv hiv hsv etc). Pls help and advice and even comment for comfort! Im just really worriend bout passing to the family i live with.
