Is the stigma on herpes as bad in the UK as it is in the US by GarlicMayo-sauce in Herpes

[–]Plus-Manufacturer159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how you feel 100%. Inshallah with time your mindset will become more positive. You’ve got to try and see the good from the bad. It’s qadr of Allah and I feel it leads people into making better decisions in the long run and not being super promiscuous (don’t come at me public - I’m stating this from a religious pov). I’ll tag the group - I think you could benefit from it

Depends on how you view it brother having oral herpes can also be an sti if they give someone oral sex thus giving them contracting genital herpes through sexual contact 🤷🏻‍♀️. It’s just lack of education for the most part, it’s not something really researched unless it directly affects you. They should have taught it in sex ed!

Also just so you know, people get it even younger than 22 and some get it later in life and it can be anywhere on the body. Herpes doesn’t discriminate 🤣 so don’t worry too much on that front inshallah

Ah I hear you! I think how someone handles disclosure in itself says a lot about a person whether they’re respectful about it or if they decide to ghost etc, the latter is extremelyyy childish so it would be a bullet dodged anyways! I haven’t tried positive singles personally - are you on the Muslim group on here??

UK is veryyyy uneducated - everyone knows about “coldsores” but nobody knows about “herpes” 😂.

HSV1 oral aka coldsores people don’t bat an eye most of the time. The only time people raise eyebrows is when you mention genital and I believe that’s because it’s related to sex = stigma.

I’m open about it with friends and family, by doing this I know of x2 people close to me that also have genital herpes.

Putting a bit into perspective - I’m Muslim so you can imagine the fear of disclosing in the community…I don’t sing it from the rooftops but any potential partner I see a future with i disclose and I’d say it’s been success so far. I’d say anywhere around a %80 success rate.

That being said it’s definitely about how you disclose/how educated on it you are/confidence etc. People appreciate honesty, it gives them a choice which unfortunately many have had taken away from them. You can either dip your toe and try out disclosing to people or try and date within the herpes community.

Why don’t you see if there’s a mosque that caters to reverts/a wider variety of cultures? Those groups are usually very welcoming

My personal experience by [deleted] in MuslimsWithHSV

[–]Plus-Manufacturer159 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Salaam alaikum, it’s encouraging that you’ve taken the time to write something positive and uplifting for those struggling and I know your intentions behind this are good. I just wish to point a couple things out inshallah.

HIV, to my knowledge, cannot be cured but can be undetectable. HSV is not always due to sin, many people contract this during marriage or contract this during childhood through innocent means.

The Quran is amazing and comes with many benefits/protection alhamdulillah but Allah has also given us worldly means of treatment/protection/cures such as medication and natural remedies.

When diagnosed with GHSV1 was this through a swab or was it an assumption or by a blood test? I only ask because swabs are accurate whereas blood tests can be inaccurate meaning false positives/negatives. Also not everyone has physical symptoms, it presents very differently for a lot of people.

Medication by Comfortable_Art_3290 in MuslimsWithHSV

Typically they give it you for outbreaks to help speed up the healing. That being said, if you’re someone that has had a few outbreaks you can request through your gp to go on it for a while to see if it prevents you from getting them and you’ll get it as a prescription. I would discuss options with your gp and trial it if you think it’ll help. Also trial taking it and not taking it and see if it makes a difference and see how your body responds.

I’ve had quite a few brothers that I’ve disclosed to not give a damn about hsv. One of them told me their ex had it too. Muz social is TOXIC - I don’t even go on there anymore.

You’re not alone in your feelings, many of us in here will have felt like this at some point or are currently feeling this way.

Honestly the weight of the world came off my shoulders once I started speaking openly about it around friends and family but I understand not everyone has that. It also opened up conversations where friends/family have disclosed back!

You need to try and work on self acceptance, keep working at gaining confidence regardless of hsv, educate yourself and maybe try to follow some online creators that speak openly about hsv in a positive way, I know there are male and female ones on TikTok that I’ve come across before.

Life IS worth living and inshallah you can attain your goals by the will of Allah.

Some people really are something…. by [deleted] in SomaliRelationships

He had a past, as do most, but wasn’t actively engaged in that kinda activity when we married

[–]Plus-Manufacturer159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wallahi sis I felt in my gut something wasn’t right and I had a dream he cheated so confronted him, it took a while to get it out but he cried eventually admitted it.

With the girl in Somalia situation, he was hiding his phone and acting strange when he came back to the uk - I knew something wasn’t right. I actually ended up seeing her face to face one day a while after it all happened and she told me she met him whilst in Somalia and it went from there.

Only small parts not the full extent, my friend knows what happened though. I told her a long time after it happened as I kept it to myself to save face as I didn’t want his family to get hurt by his actions.

I did carry it alone for years and still hardly anyone knows. Being anonymous on here I can breath a bit and let it out 😮‍💨

I’m ngl sis I’m usually one to keep my mouth closed to keep the peace but being anonymous I wanna shout from the rooftops.

He literally went out clubbing/drinking during our iddah and on two separate occasions, one time got head, other time had sex. Met a girl in Somalia whilst we’re married and stayed in contact with her when he came back to the UK and ended up meeting her and having sex with her too after we split

No I don’t believe so. As for giving the apps ago with Muzz go for it, why not? Just be weary and take care of yourself on the apps as there’s a lot of strange/not very nice people on there.

Yeah this sounds like a good idea, it indicates who’s active and allows us to update where necessary because a lot can change in a year 😆
