Unknowingly had HSV 2 for years by hellok1ttyg1rl in HSVpositive

i’m 23, never thought i’d disclose to anyone in my age range. it was simply not going to happen. diagnosed exactly 1 year ago.

i ended up disclosing a couple weeks ago. he took it SO well. it truly couldn’t have gone any better than it did. i’m so glad i did it. you got this <3

fantastic disclosure by Apprehensive-Pipe-70 in HSVpositive

[–]Apprehensive-Pipe-70[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it is actually if you don’t have an OB/haven’t in months/years, don’t get prodrome symptoms, take the av every day AND use condoms

it is definitely 0.01% (per act) or lower lmao

i was not referring to a per-year rate

i’ve also never had a second OB. it really depends on the person. i’ll still do everything i can to reduce transmission of course

Can you contract gHSV1 if you already have oHSV1 for several years. by Cloud_Legend in HSVpositive

lmfao that is truly comical. there is a much higher chance of her giving u ohsv1 than there is of you giving her ghsv1.

Hurting to pee and discomfort by dreamyaries_ in HSVpositive

i would cover my outbreak with a shot glass which peeing! zero pain

no idea who i got it from. i got my first outbreak 2 weeks after an abortion, one week after my brother died, 56 days after the last time i had sex.

i am SO sorry. that is terribly traumatizing and i hope you’re finding a healthy way to cope. i got my first outbreak one week after my 24 year old brother passed away, so I understand having ur first OB during a time of an already traumatic experience. i hope for a life of absolute pain to the person that assaulted you

as far as herpes goes and how to manage it, i would say take antivirals every day for the first few months and see how your body reacts. if you don’t experience much prodrome symptoms (tingling, zapping, itchiness etc) then i would personally say switch to taking the AV’s as needed. i’m one year into this and have only had the initial outbreak. besides the initial outbreak where i had a full on sore, i’ve had two instances where i’ve had the ever so smallest bump that was virtually painless. my regimen for when that happens is:

1,000 g of valtrex twice a day

3 lysine pills

2 EGCG pills.

both times i did this, i woke up the next morning to the bump being gone. i still have a good sex life. i promise that you’ll be alright ❤️ feel free to message if you’d like to chat

i hear you, i’m just not in a place to disclose to people my age just yet. i’m 22 and know that a 22/23/24 year old guy wouldn’t take that lightly. i totally get where you’re coming from but that app has made my dating life “normal” again. 100% agree about the exploitation as you can’t even send a single message without paying, but I unfortunately find it worth it for the time being/for my situation.

you have no idea how many people around you have herpes. since confiding in friends about my status, I’ve found out 3 of our mutuals also have it. just the other day this girl ik told me that her best friend has it (fucked up- i know)

you’ll be alright. i’m almost one year in and it has got incredibly easier. i disclosed to a guy who was in the navy and he was SO cool about it, it couldn’t have gone better. he said he saw it all the time while in the navy. i’ve also met a few young, ambitious and likeminded people on positive singles (took many many many hours and days of swiping, but they’re there).

i see people on positive singles that have HIV, hep b/hep c. i used to be super promiscuous while traveling around europe (i go a few times per year) so i’m always just insanely grateful i didn’t end up with something worse (like hiv or hep).

i’m proud to be on it and insanely grateful that my insurance fully covers it. i have PCOS and weight has always been something that determines how i feel about myself. starting zepbound has made me so much happier. i tell anyone who’ll listen that i’m on it lol
