My girlfriend recently went in to the doc for a bladder infection. After it didn't go away from antibiodics, she went back again. Her doc was concerned it might be Herpes (after pelvic exam) so she sent her home with some drugs for flare ups after taking some blood work. The blood worK results won't come back until Tues, but she hasn't started taking the drugs and feels much better on her own. Overall, the bladder infection symptoms lasted roughly 2 wks.

From the time you were a newborn how well you thrived depended in large part by how much you were lovingly touched.

I was born two months premature in Trinidad in 1965. I was only 4 pounds and had to be in an incubator for my first few weeks of life. The doctors told my mom not to get attached to me because I only had a ten percent chance of surviving. My mother didn’t believe them

Herpes: There is no Shame in Promiscuity

I’ve been thinking about how often my patients and others I speak with want to emphasize very strongly to me that they didn’t get their herpes from promiscuity. I even state that in my own personal herpes story called “ My first year with herpes; or how I was re-born a modern day leper”. I wrote it in my story not because I think there’s anything wrong with promiscuity, because I don’t, but because I wanted to warn people that being in a monogamous relationship does not necessarily protect you from getting sexually transmitted infections.

I am 99% sure that my "friend with benefits" gave me herpes. (I am waiting for my test to come back) I know I shouldn't have been sleeping with him in the first place but he was always the one I went to when not in a relationship, which is almost always. FYI we used condoms but I got them in an area it didn't cover. I am pretty sure he was having an outbreak because a week ealier he slept in a bed with me but wouldn't hook up with me which is a first, he must have had them then and they weren't healed a week later. I should have known better! I should have been suspicious of his wierd behavior a week earlier.

Hi

I recently contracted my first serious dose of herpes. Not knowinghow contagious it is I accidentally transferred it to inside my nostrils. Since this happened my nose has been trying to heal but as a result is getting uncomfortably blocked by bloody scabs. When I blow my nose to clear these am I stopping the herpes sores from healing? Is there any way to cure this or do I just have to alow it to healnaturally and breathe through my nose?

I was infected in the 7th grade by a female preforming oral sex on me and
after quite some time, I have some symtoms I shruged off, asuming it was an

We live in an affluent, highly privileged society. We spoil and indulge ourselves shamelessly. We consume way more than our fair share of the planet’s resources. We drug ourselves with coffee, cigarettes, alcohol and comfort foods. We distract ourselves with junk culture coming from our televisions, radios and print media. In the midst of all this the temptation is there to want to identify ourselves as a victim so we can have an excuse to feel sorry for ourselves.

If you have herpes and have the integrity to tell someone about it before you get sexually involved and they reject you because of it, it is one of the most devastating forms of rejection imaginable. Just as bad as being rejected because of your race, or physical disability or anything else not under your control, and just as ignorant and intolerable.

Hi there and I'm so glad I found this place.

I have had a few unprotected sex encounters (very stupid) about 5 or 6 partners in the last 4 years.

About a year and a half ago I had been with one of them and a few days after, I noticed some irritation in my genital area. On the inside of my two legs there is about a 7" in diameter red patch with a few spots on the outside of the patch which has grew slightly bigger overtime. The patch has really never went away properly. Maybe died down for a few days, few weeks (varies). Also this morning I checked my genital sac and found a few tiny scabs which i scratched and they came off and now I'm gettin a kinda burning sensation but more tingly than burning. Can this be genetal herpes?

Hi,
I developed a rash on my right leg a little below the waist around 10 days back.after a couple of over the counter creams and blisters instead of the rash i visited the doctor today. the moment he saw it came a very blunt reply.. oh! that's herpes. and the cause was said to be the chicken pox virus. that's all the details he had. however on further research on the internet i found out more details on genital herpes than herpes zoster (the one that i supposedly have). It has now got me all worried. He never mentioned the word shingles as most of the articles refer to on the internet.

Love in a Time of Herpes

My generation and those who came into this world after us have been severely ripped off.

I was born in 1965- a year often considered the first year of “generation-x”. The previous generation- the baby-boomers like my parents, grew up in a time of free love. My mother didn’t take advantage of this but my father sure did, but that’s another story.

I'm involved with a wonderful person dx with genital herpes - what besides sex not during outbreak and condom use can be used for precautions for all types of sex? What this dx does to a human spirit is so sad!!!

From day one my own personal life-long Herpes infection has presented me with several ethical challenges. It has challenged me on the question of who to tell and when. It has challenged me on the issue of what to say and how to others with herpes. It has challenged me on the question of "Do I have any responsibilities towards trying to prevent the people in the community who do not Herpes from getting it, and if so what are they?"

My Wife and I have been married for 25 years, and together for 26 years. A couple years ago, she told me we would have to abstain from sex because she had a sore in her genital area. She went to her Gyn. who confirmed it was genital herpes. We both had to get a blood test, and she came back positive, however I was negative (for g. herpes). Since that time she will get outbreaks every 1-2 months. My question is, is she having an affair? She claims she must have contacted it before we got together. Thanks for all responses.

Those of us who have so-called “genital herpes” are caught between a rock and a hard place. On one hand we are ostracized by the minority of the population (about 40%) who don’t currently have herpes simplex in their body, which is bad enough, but more cruelly we are often isolated by our fellow members of the herpes community who have so-called cold sores (herpes simplex 1 of the mouth and face).

HerpesDoctor are pleased to announce the addition of two new forums today, General Chat, for members to discuss pretty much whatever they like, and Meet & Greet, where you can hook up with other people with Herpes and make friends online.

I have herpes, don’t you?

You don’t?

Are you sure?

I wouldn’t be so sure if I were You.

Unless you have had a recent type-specific blood test to test for the presence of herpes simplex antibodies you cannot say with any certainty that you don’t have herpes.
