If i had sex with a partner that had herpes without protection but she wasnt having an outbreak. is it pretty much 100% that i'm going to get herpes now?
Definitely, DEFINITELY wear condoms even between outbreaks (it will lessen the chance of transmission through viral shedding, which can occur at any time).
And wait until the outbreak is over (no more lesions) before having sex again. Has your gf considered staying on antiviral meds in order to lower risk of spreading the virus?
I recently found out that the guy I am dating has herpes simplex 1. We have had unprotected sex when there was no outbreak and protected sex when there was. He feels there is no need to worry but I am very very scared.
advice?
Anybody know of a good (or decent) cream for hsv 2? I've seen Medavir touted but so are a bunch of others. Also I think I am or just after my initial outbreak, how long do you usually have burning afterwards? I haven't had blisters since early November but I still have periodic burning and a couple of tiny white bumps clustered near each other. I am using Valtrex and was using an antiviral cream and aloe vera. Any tips or info would be appreciated. Thanks!
My boyfriend was diagnosed with genital herpes, he said the doctor told him that it was a slight strain of the virus. He took VALTREX, now she has him on 2 months supply of twice a day vitamins,i think its pneuribine or neurubine,something like that, i do not think i spelt it correctly but what does she mean by a slight strain? and what would those vitamins really do for him?
I was planning on becoming pregnant, but since my bf was diagnosed with herpes i have become quite worried...i need to know if his virus can cause any kind of interference with me becoming pregnant....i was diagnosed less than a month as being negative...how safe is it to have unprotected sex when he doesn't experience any breakouts...
It's very dangerous for your baby to have unprotected sex during pregnancy if you don't have herpes but your partner does. In fact, some doctors would counsel against have sex at ALL in this situation!
See this post we wrote about this recently: http://www.herpesdoctor.com/blog/get-informed-– herpes-and-pregnancy
I know it sounds strange, but it's safer for the baby if you've already had herpes before the pregnancy. But if you contract the virus during pregnancy it actually lowers the chance of survival for the foetus. I'd suggest speaking to your ob/gyn about this before getting pregnant.
Can someone tell me how i can stop the herpies from inflaming. Im only 18 and have had it for about a year when i stupidly slept with a girl i thought i could trust. Everytime i think it goes away again if i masterbate of have sex it becomes verry red and reapears. when i leave it a few days it becomes dry but itchy still and looks like its going away again then it sudenly reapears, Is there anything i can do to stop this as its making me verry dipressed thankyou
genital herpes

transmission
Definitely, DEFINITELY wear condoms even between outbreaks (it will lessen the chance of transmission through viral shedding, which can occur at any time).

very scared

advice?
first things first
did you see his test results? and did he tell you before having intercourse that he had this? and is it the oral or genital herpes?
Medavir and general question
Anybody know of a good (or decent) cream for hsv 2? I've seen Medavir touted but so are a bunch of others. Also I think I am or just after my initial outbreak, how long do you usually have burning afterwards? I haven't had blisters since early November but I still have periodic burning and a couple of tiny white bumps clustered near each other.

Slight strain of herpes?

Very Dangerous To Have Unprotected Sex During Pregnancy
Hi Concerned Female,
It's very dangerous for your baby to have unprotected sex during pregnancy if you don't have herpes but your partner does. In fact, some doctors would counsel against have sex at ALL in this situation!
