Uhm that's scary then. Hsv2 is more contagious than hsv1. I shouldn't be using those numbers than when i disclose.

@mr_hopp Yes that makes sense, thank you. But theres something i don't understand. If i shed the virus more often doesn't that mean I'm more contagious?

I see everywhere that you keep saying its 50/50, which is totally false. There is always a chance but its NOT 50/50 everytime. I don't like sugar coating either but I think your pushing it.

Well if your still with her after 30 years does it still matter of you catch it?

Just read somewhere on the forum that people can shed between 5 to 45% of the time so how is it 4%? Doesn't seem like those numbers are for everybody.

45% ?!?!?!?!?!

I'm in exactly the same situation as you. I can't seem to find answer anywhere but I believe it does make us somewhat more contagious.

After maybe 1 week exposure.

I'm glad i found this group. I only saw one or two stories of people not transmitting to their h - partner. I'm hsv 1 and 2 + and I struggle to keep my ob under control. I've had these two viruses for about 2 years and a half now. And if i stop to take valacyclovir i get an ob almost immediately. I still feel like I'm having constant prodome too so i started taking lysine everyday. I'm looking into what other supplements i could take. I know my main trigger is stress, anxiety and lack of sleep. I didn't mind that much before but now that I'm looking to getting sexual active again it stressed me the f* out. I just wanna know if other people had positive outcome in not transmitting to your male partner and what precautions you took and how long have you been sexual active with them. I'm looking for my ever lasting love but would feel completely awful if i transmitted it to someone i care for. So @Lstgryl i understand your concern. I don't think i have it orally so i have given head with no condoms in hope that its okay. I'm a little scared about this because i did give oral to my ex while he had an ob. We didn't know he had hsv.

Only way to find out would be by swab. Don't worry too much about it though. Maybe get him to get tested in a couple of weeks? And again in 2 months to make sure he had time to build enough antibodies to be detectable. Thats IF he even caught anything. Anyways i know you would feel awful but he took the chance and knew what he was getting himself into.

In theory yes but if the vaginal fluid comes in contact with the infected skin the virus will be in the fluid. The fluid that went through the underwear for sure passed by the shedding skin. Which is why im worried because without thinking i touched his face near his eyes couple of seconds after blocking him and touching my underwear where it was wet, where i get my usual ob's. Just trying to figure out if anybody in a discordant relationship have been in that position before. I'm not sure if i should be worrying

Phase 2 is not over. Part 1 of phase 2 is complete but they are currently looking for participants for their phase 2. Phase 2 is suppose to be completed by October 2019. But because it was fast tracked it might not need to go through phase 3.

This forum is fucking useless

Could i have given him eye herpes by touching near his face after touching over my wet underwear?!?!?!?! I'm freaking out!
