Sex after herpes diagnosis

No, I am not talking about while you have an outbreak.. I am talking about after.. When is it safe? How do you assure your partner that using protection and being smart means it's okay to have sex... I feel so broken and lost... Idk who to turn to about this.. But it hurts to be rejected from someone you love for something beyond my control 😭😷

Aww.. it's going to be OK, just relax.

You didn't as as state if you were male or female, as there are different stats depending on the sex of each partner. Typically it is best to wait 7 days after am OB. Using condoms and taking daily meds will lower your numbers to 2.5%-1% risk a year to pass it, so as long as you abstain during symptoms. How do you know you didn't get this from your current partner?

I did get it from him.. He has them

Orally and I contracted them that way, oral to genital.. He didn't realize it at first because he has full facial hair.. So it's hard to see those around the lip area.. He doesn't get them severely.. Or often...when he shaved he thought it was razer burn... But then he realized after I was diagnosed it was more than he realized. do they have support groups for people to accept and deal with this?

Yes Google H Opportunity. I think this will give you what you're looking for. It is almost like a social media site for those of us w H. All the moderators and owner of the site have H for yrs and work together w one of the top H clinics in the states, so it has the latest info and the moderators all comment and give advice.
