Hello, I've had HSV 2 for nearly a year now. Pretty much felt like my dating life is over lmao. Anyway I have a few questions as my GP is very judgemental.
1: what's the deal with the everyday medication? My initial outbreak was so bad both doctors said it was the worst they had ever seen. No one offered it to me. But I've had 12 outbreaks since I got it in Jan so I really think I should be on it. If I have that many outbreaks will being on anything even help?
2: sucking and fucking - I've been friends with this guy for years and its started turning flirty. I want to do things with him but I'm scared. I'm too much off a wuss to even consider sex ever again but I'd love to blow him. Can he catch it from me if I give him a blow job? What about kissing, can it be caught that way? What about fingering and heavy petting? Chances of giving it to him through that?
3: my symptoms before an outbreak are very obvious - am I right in thinking if I'm not experiencing them that I'm not shedding and not likely to pass it on?
Thank you wise ones.
