Hello,
I am a 22 yr old who had been swab tested after a severe outbreak on my genitals from what my partner at the time believes is due to their history of oral hsv-1 although it's hard to say since another person was involved genitally.. that I don't know their history. I came back positive for type one and it took a long time to heal from the first ob even with meds. I had another outbreak about a few weeks later after shaving.. Less severe, and took medication for that. and I believe i've had a smaller OB anally which was small mosquito bite type bumps and soreness. I have been okay so far for 2 weeks, I am just wondering if this recurrence is typical in the first few months and year? does it normally get better? I read that there is no normal, so I am wondering if anyone else with this type can share their experience please! Physically right now I feel normal again I just have a lot of questions lol.
HSV-1 only - If you don't mind me asking aswell:
Do you disclose to every partner?
Did you contract it from oral sex?
Do you take supressive therapy?
Thanks this website has been a great help
