talk you your doctor about

talk you your doctor about going an oral supresent such as valtrex, this should help.

Although I am not an expert,

Although I am not an expert, My doctor has told me that it is possible to transmit the disease in either way. I was told that it was possible for me to pass it through kissing (although not as likely) even though I have only shown symptoms of genital herpes.

Hi, I could really use some

Hi,

I could really use some help.

I've been getting cold sores (HSV-1) for about 6-8 years now. Last week, I had a cold sore on my mouth so I abstained from kissing my boyfriend.

However, we still had sex, just without kissing.

Now, I'm worried that I may have SOMEHOW passed it on in the form of genital herpes to both me and my partner.

Can this be possible? Is it possible to somehow pass this on as genital herpes, if we didn't kiss but we still had sex (no oral sex was performed by either person). Has this happened to anyone before?

Some much needed advice is greatly appreciated, as I have been worrying like crazy!

is there an antiviral gel

is there an antiviral gel that can be inserted into the vagina as i have internal herpes outbreaks

HUH?

hey lucac...thanks for your response but i did not make myself quite clear...my bf has it...fortunately i do not...i just need to know if becoming pregnant...what are some of the things i need to know before...thanks

Not 100% at all!

I have had several long term partners since being diagnosed, including a husband of 7 yrs. None of these men have ever had an outbreak during or after our relationship. In the case of my most recent boyfriend, he was tested after about three months of unprotected sex, and he was negative for the virus. We are aware that that could change at any time, but the point is, passing the virus on is not an absolute!

I hope this helps

When I was 16 I was diagnosed with herpes. I thought it was a yeast infection also but learned later I had contracted something I will deal with for the rest of my life. This disease is not only challenging when you have an outbreak. Unfornately, it is accomplanied by a great deal of shame and embarrassment. You feel alone and think that you will never have a partner again because you have herpes. But, the truth is 1 in 4 people have herpes so we are from alone. That being said, your boyfriend knew what he was getting into when you had unprotected sex while experiencing an outbreak. If you were honest with him from the begining he has no right to be mad at you now. I think it's time to move on from him, regardless of the test reults. Your young and not alone. There will be plently of boyfriends in your life more excepting of your disease. Why waste your time on someone who makes you feel bad about yourself?

Really need to know

I want to go ahead and get pregnant....any tips...is it ok...really want to start my family, despite my bf having GH....Help!

Apparently, if you've already

Apparently, if you've already had herpes, your body has had time to build some antibodies, which lowers the risk for the baby by the time you do get pregnant. Plus, the first outbreak is always the most severe, so if you have that while you're pregnant, it's much more dangerous.

i really hope some1 can help

i am 18 years of age and i was diagnosed with herpes a year ago although i have had it long before n thought it was just razor bumps and yeast infection which i got treatment for but since my diagnosis i have only had one serious relationship i mean i love this guy with all that is within me, because he accepted me although i had this disease, and i even broke my virginity with him, the other night we did something very stupid....we had sexx without a condon for the very first time and i had an out break then, of course he knew i was out breaking but we did it anyway, for a moment i wanted to be like the average teenager n i let my guard down. now he is mad as hell cuz he thinks he has herpes too n that it is going to ruin his life just because there are now a few bumps on his penis only 3 days after sex.

i dont feel like i deserve to be with anybody else although he choose to be with me ..........well you know what now he says that if he test negative for herpes he doesnt want to be with me again and i never though any1 would say those words to me. and now i feel like complete crap. i feel so low beleieve me and i dont kno what to do i know i dont deserve this i mean non of us deserve this but please just give me some advice
