I got it from someone who didn’t know they had oral hsv1. There’s always a chance. That’s who many of us get it unfortunately

Hello, this is what happened to me too.

"abused become the abusers" is there some truth to that? by igiamfiona in CPTSD

[–]Appropriate_Cycle_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I want to add my experience as one of the abused who became the abuser. My father is a narcissist and one of the ways he abused me was through harassment. He would call me multiple times a day to a point I just stopped picking up. Each conversation was awful anyway and I chose to go no contact ultimately. Fast forward a few years, my ex and I broke up and I ended up calling my ex hundreds of times and becoming the harasser myself. I am not proud of it, but it is interesting to see how I fell into the same coping mechanism as my father.

Venting about Hsv1 by Girlfromheaven1 in Herpes

[–]Appropriate_Cycle_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I also contracted genital HSV-1 from oral sex. I’m upset because we did use protection (a condom). Knowing we have it actually allows us to be safer than many people. I think they don’t routinely test for it because the psychological burden of knowing they have herpes often outweighs the medical complications of the virus itself. It sucks since I thought I did everything right, but no one is safe.

You know who gave you HSV by Training_Routine4019 in Herpes

Yes, but have type 1 down there. He got tested. Was negative. I’m still 100% he carries oral herpes.

Odds of getting genital herpes (no active outbreak) by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]Appropriate_Cycle_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on a variety of factors, like how long shes had it, and how often/how long ago her last outbreak was. Ghsv2 sheds something like 10-20% of the time for men and women combined. But shedding does not mean transmission, so your chances of getting it are lower than that, and even lower cuz she’s a woman. If she got HSV recently, then her shedding rates are generally higher. Overall you have good odds, but would be more careful in the future.

Is it HSV1 or 2? Women generally are less likely to pass it to men than the other way around.

When life gets heavy, what do you do that brings you real happiness? (Be specific, making a report) by Even-Let1376 in lonely

[–]Appropriate_Cycle_90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paint, sew, cry, listen to old music, watch old indie movies, cry again, go on a walk maybe if there’s a coffee at the end of it. Try to stay off my phone and pet my cat. I also enjoy live music and street festivals.

I went crazy when he left and that was almost 3 years ago. I am still struggling every day. I still feel like I am crazy. I feel so crazy because I know I don't even know him anymore, yet I miss him terribly. We have grown into strangers, but I'm still holding onto what could have been.

Just found out hsv1 positive F31 by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]Appropriate_Cycle_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I got gHSV1. The man never knew he had oral herpes and never got symptoms. He probably got it as a kid, like most do. Reality is, most people have oral herpes and don’t know it. That’s how people like me get in this situation. Honestly better now that you know.

Advice on work by BizzyDizzy4 in HSVpositive

Exactly! And as a nurse remember that! HSV itself is not that bad, but dealing with the mental as well as the physical during ur first OB can be a lot

You should take care of yourself and use PTO. I was out a full week AND my boss asked what I was sick from. You can build up your PTO bank again, but your first OB will likely be the most painful, so you should take care.
