herpes specialist doctors in the dc area?

[mdellam44]

Hi guys, I want my partner who is hsv negative to get tested and also to get the right advice. I want to go with him and get advice myself on what else I can do to protect him.

I am doing a lot of things but I am a bit paranoid and I think he could have contracted the virus, which if it is I will hate myself forever. i am not sure what else to do so I really need to see someone that really knows this stuff and who is also friendly and understanding.Do you guys know a good herpes doctor in the dc metro area?

please help me, I need to take care of my partner and I don't know what else to do.

First, get your partner on this page. This is going to be the best resource you will find anywhere on the net, or in person.

 

Paranoid? Why? Did he know you had HSV when you started having sex? If he did, then it's his choice, and you can't hold yourself responsible for other people's choices. It's a choice he made out of love, and if he loves you, he accepted the risk because his love for you is 100X stronger than his concern over a few bumps and blisters. Trust me when I say that fear in a relationship is a poison you don't want; focus on the love.

 

As far as doc's in DC? Here's a list, but I can't say that I know any of them. Read through the list, and maybe do some searches to see what their reputations are.

Hi,

sorry to clarify, did you knew that you had Herpes or not? I maybe guess you did.If you didnt know it souhld be the best thing to get at test and talk to your partner about it. Dont start a realtonship with a lie, be honest from the begining.Well if you already knew from beginning it would be time to tell him directly if not you will regret it at one point.

Its always best to talk, if its Herpes or whatever......the most realtionship fuck up because people dont talk(which happpend a lot of times in my case)Be honest please, be YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU and it willl show if he like you enough to accept HERPES.

do the right thing

sorry guys, I made it really quick so I didn't explain myself.

 

I had HSV 2 for 9 years now, and my new partner and I started dating just a few months ago and yes, he knew about it from the get go.

 

I am on suppressive medicine, but to be honest, since I am on it I am having more outbreaks than before, or at least the sensation that one is about to come out. but I got on the suppressive therapy when we decided to give it a go at this. We always use condoms too and I drink lysine everyday. and of course we don't do much when I feel somethings is up, which is pretty often nowadays.

 

He is not the type of guy that will start reading about this or get on the forum (i already gave him all the links and details) but I would like him to get tested, so we know what we are dealing with and also I would like to go and see a doctor the two of us to get all the facts on what am I doing wrong or what else I could be doing to keep him safe.

 

That is all I want, to keep him safe.

So check out the support group for their suggestions of the best (ie, most empathetic and will give you the time you need) Dr's in your area ..

 

Otherwise, Planned Parenthood is a good option.... they are used to counseling people/couples with discordant partners.....
