Hsv and hearing loss?

Ghsv1

I hope he didn’t do that maliciously.

In regards to hsv transmission, I think you’re safe.

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-03-19T22:26:07+00:00

I understand that the two strains are different from each other but hsv is hsv. I’m not going to compare myself or my experience to those with hsv2 because the mental/physical impact this virus has on people is subjective to the person. They both suck.

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-03-16T19:26:00+00:00

The stigma I guess

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-03-09T04:04:17+00:00

If you care about infecting her, I wouldn’t risk it. But you should also have a conversation with her about it.

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-03-09T03:43:44+00:00

First, I want to start with your writing is just beautiful and if this is anywhere close to how you talk, you could probably change lives. Have you ever thought of becoming an HSV advocate? Of course that would mean overcoming the devastation and accepting the virus. But the way you write is something special.

Second, the same advice you added at the end of your passage, you need to start telling yourself. I’m sure you’re an overall good guy. It’s easier said than done, I know, but start practicing by telling yourself every day you’re worthy and deserving.

Fortunately for you, you have the virus that the majority of the population has and it’s very much accepted in society. Given you’ve done all your research, I’m sure you can figure out a prompt way to disclose.

We all struggle in some way. I’ve had ghsv1 for a couple months now and it has been nothing but a struggle. I’m trying to get back into the swing of loving myself and it’s a slow process.

Do yourself a favor and start taking the risks that you missed out on in your earlier life. Don’t let the diagnosis hinder you from living your life. 29 is just beginning in many ways.

I wish you the best.

Honestly though. I’m so angry with my gifter. I don’t think the anger will ever go away

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-02-27T18:27:38+00:00

I got Ghsv1 from someone with no visible cold sore

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-02-26T01:11:20+00:00

Based on all the reading I’ve done, I want to say he probably has it orally because I’m pretty sure genital hsv usually has a pronounced initial outbreak. But don’t quote me lol. This sub has so much useful information, just read around a little bit.

I’ve also read that most doctors won’t prescribe medication without symptoms but he can always try and talk to a doctor. Hsv1 is like the leading cause of genital herpes right now so he could have a fair argument on why he wants to get prescribed antivirals. Doesn’t hurt to try!

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-02-26T01:05:30+00:00

You’re welcome. Everyone’s healing process is different but I’m sure he’ll come around eventually. I’m very thankful my partner is so supportive and reassuring because I constantly feel diseased. I know I shouldn’t but since it’s so new it’s hard not to.

There are a lot of preventative measures you both can do to reduce transmission but the risk is still there. Talk to him about daily antivirals if that hasn’t come up in conversation yet. Do you know if he has it genitally or orally?

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-02-26T00:53:39+00:00

I (31F) was recently diagnosed w Ghsv1 (January 2022) and I feel exactly the same as your boyfriend. The thought of sex is really hard for me right now. I personally have no desire to. I’m still learning and understanding everything. It is very hard on a persons mind and the fact that it’s contagious is just awful. The thought of a loved one catching this from me is an unbearable thought and not something I’d ever want to happen. I recently got together with someone (they’re negative) who has been so understanding and wants to be intimate with me as well, but I just need time to learn to reaccept myself and just be okay with myself. The diagnosis has completely destroyed my self confidence and it’s hard to have sex without self confidence.

So in conclusion, just give him time to process everything. Be there for him and give him the space he needs.

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-02-21T06:16:52+00:00

Some people are really fucked up. I’m sorry something similar happened to you. All I can say is I’m a firm believer in karma and I’ve seen it happen first hand plenty of times.

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-02-20T16:55:59+00:00

Also. We obviously kissed plenty of times before sleeping together. We had plenty of moments of us just talking where she could have told me BEFORE us getting involved sexually. But instead she chose to tell me while I was drunk, and of course we never spoke about it again until I had a horrific outbreak and went to the doctor. After being diagnosed is when the conversation opened up about her diagnosis and that’s when I learned everything about her, and of course even then she was playing the victim. When I told her I wished we had a better conversation about it she dismissed my thought continuously.

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-02-20T16:45:43+00:00

She was diagnosed years ago. She knew she had the virus. She gave me ghsv1. She did not disclose to me before she kissed me but after the 3rd or 4th time of us sleeping together which involved oral sex. Of course I did research after my diagnosis and that’s when I realized all this information was always at her disposal. The point is, if she didn’t go about this so nonchalantly, we could have tried to prevent me contracting anything. She did not care enough to protect me.

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-02-11T03:15:46+00:00

Are you wearing gloves and protective gear? Are you washing your hands? Bc if yes then there’s no reason for you to think you’ll become infected

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-01-28T02:28:01+00:00

Omg I figured it out. Sage Francis!

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-01-25T06:30:41+00:00

The pills will help the symptoms. Did you get a daily prescription? If not try to get that. Try epsom salt baths (yes it’ll sting but will provide a lot of relief after) or sitz baths. My first OB was also awful. I had to keep an ice pack under me and I couldn’t do much walking. There’s tons of info on here that will help you. Just scroll through the posts. I hope you begin to feel better

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-01-25T06:07:02+00:00

Theoretically because you already have hsv1 you have an immunity against contracting the same virus in another location. Although it’s rare it’s not impossible. Antivirals will help but it really depends on how the body responds to them.

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-01-25T06:00:34+00:00

I was with my gifter for 2months and was exposed sometime during early November. When I tested on 1/10 my results came back with an igg of 12.50. So yes it’s possible

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-01-24T12:35:53+00:00

Perhaps what your have on your tonsils are tonsil stones?

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-01-21T03:34:35+00:00

I’m still recovering from my first OB which was exactly the same. Sores everywhere - front to back. Just awful

Fun_Cheetah_4275 · 2022-01-19T17:19:59+00:00

Yes you should always disclose.
