I was having reoccuring blisters that were itchy, i was told by 2 doctors it was thursh and another doctor that it was exzema. i started tearing during sex and went to get re tested..came back positive where as my previous test was negative...
i have been put on valaciclovir 500mg.
im just wondering the likely hood of me, being female and having the virus, passing it on to my partner who does not have the virus. I am doing the suppression therapy. But just wondering if the symptoms are the same with men or if they go unnoticed, and how much taking these tablets will help the likelyhood of me passing on this disease... thanks
Hi if at all concerned take him to get tested .men don't show symptoms a lot of the time.my ex had none.he may already be infected and wouldn't know.it's easier for women to catch than men as our intimate areas are a better environment. the lining in the mouth is the same as the vaginal lining hence the fact you can get it in your mouth. We're these symptoms b4 or after Ur you met Ur partner? Tell him to get checked out if only to put both Ur minds at ease. Good luck xx
Hey there, the symptoms were present before i met him, before i even lost my virginity.. the doc says they think it is from oral sex.
see thats the thing this is a very new relationship, we have only been together for about a month and i am not at the stage where i am ready to tell him about it as i only found out today and i am only 18.....
i know i will have to tell him eventually but with this all being so new i am confused...
my doctor said that the tablets i am on are meant to make the chances of him getting it 1%.... but i havent found any similar comments to that anywhere else online.

Ok hunny I understand x I think you're right about waiting. Maybe you could drop hints about a friends situation and see how he reacts although that may be different from his response to you as he knows you.read my message and the response from feel broken. This person is brilliant x I had same urge to blurt it out but don't give yourself time to adjust. If u two aren't at the point of intimacy it doesn't matter ok xx get back to me but read it first ok xx I think it will help u a lot xx
I felt exactly the same as you can see x you have done absolutely nothing to "confess" for. You didnt ask for this no one does. It's overwhelming and so hard to deal with emotionally..it's like grieving a lost relative ..but the person you are grieving is the old you you're still that person but now you have a few cold sores down below ... You need to get it out in the open ...so you can be free of the burden ...you don't need to rush in ... You have found this site and you are among others who genuinely care and understand xx I will be here for you no problems x please just enjoy getting to know him for now.give it time xx
First, how do you know your partner doesn't have it? Your partner could have given it to you. Unless he's specifically requested a herpes tests, he can jot be sure. Over 80% of people w herpes are asymptomatic.. Meaning they have no symptoms, but are spreading it. If you two were having sex w these symptoms and they're very new symptoms, being you tested negative the first time and positive the second, sounds like he passed it to you and had you passed it to him, he'd likely have symptoms by now. If he has not been tested for herpes and you've seen the test, as herpes tests are not included in the full std screen, you have to ask specifically for it, then he wouldn't know for sure.
Symptoms vary for individuals. Some have none. Some have it like yiu w itching and sores or just an itch here and there or a result bump mistake for razor burn.
Well I have only been with him a month and I have been having these same symptoms for over a year, where as my doctors have been saying it's just a rash or just exzema etc... It could have been him as we have had oral sex but my symptoms are the exact same as they have always been.. Where doctors look and have told me that they don't resemble herpes...
I have a question, with herpes sores whether it be hv1 or hv2
Do they all burst/ scab?
And if they release liquid do you know about it? Just because mine have never done either of the above
They come up and get sore then within a few days disappear again with the help of a steroid cream that was given to me when they thought it was exzema...
Maybe I'm just not accepting what is,
But I'm trying to get all the facts and get my head together so that I can accept it and move forward
Sorry princess, hsv 1 can be transmitted to the genitals as well. 30% if all genital heroes cases, are from hsv 1. Hsv 2 doesn't really spread to mouth, but has happened in a few rare cases in immune compromised individuals w AIDs
the lining in the mouth is the same as the vaginal lining hence the fact you can get it in your mouth. We're these symptoms b4 or after Ur you met Ur partner? Tell him to get checked out if only to put both Ur minds at ease. Good luck xx
