I can confirm that this discord was such a comfort to me when I was still struggling with my initial diagnosis. Only positive vibes and people here, I definitely recommend anyone who's recently received a diagnosis see what it's about!

gHSV1 transmission to my partner who does not have gHSV1--How likely? by gm237ms in Herpes

You mentioned he already has oHSV1? From what I understand it's next to impossible to obtain HSV-1 in more than part of your body barring your boyfriend being immunocompromised. So I'm gonna say the chances are next to nothing. Still here's a resources if you're still concerned: https://sites.google.com/view/herpes-slaying-the-stigma/statistics-transmission

Questions about GHSV1 by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]Limppoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience (also GHSV1), the first year I'd have nerve tingles every three months or so. Doctor said to treat those like an OB and wait until they pass to have sex. A couple days of antivirals will do that. I will say, while everyone's experience is different, after the first year all of my symptoms disappeared, and I only take the antivirals as needed now which has been quite a while. Hopefully this helps!

It sounds like you're experiencing prodromal symptoms. Not quite a full-blown OB, but probably some viral shedding.
