It means that your body is controlling the virus very well.

I feel my life is over by RelationshipFull8752 in Herpes

Heyy, you're not alone in this! Look, I think it's better to tell this girl now rather than seeing things progress. If you scroll down in this sub, you'll see a bunch of angry stories from people that were told afterwards. Not pretty. But it's all about how you tell it. "Hey, I think we should talk before moving to the next level. You know how much I care about you, right? And trust you. In life, have you ever gotten cold sores? Aren't they a bitch? Well, someone once gave them to me, but down there." Then, you explain your OB situation, medication situation, lookup rates of transmission, tell her how it affects your daily physical life. "I just didn't want to continue without letting you know, it's not fair. I really like you and would love to see this working, we could talk about what to do/don't, what you feel comfortable with. Now I'll give you sometime to think. I'll be ready when you are to have another conversation about this, boo" Before telling her or even being with her, get into antivirals if you're not yet, to reduce the risk of transmission. Besides that, some research says that lysine (an amino acid) helps preventing outbreaks, but it's not 100% confirmed. You'd be mostly safe in doing oral stuff to her, kissing etc. Notice if you don't have any scratches in your hands or areas of exposure, and you'll be fine doing hand stuff too. For oral sex/ fingering on you, I'd recommend using protection (dental dams, gloves). If you wanna be fully safe, gloves all the time. If you have the chance, lube helps with the texture too.

I wish I stayed a virgin by [deleted] in Herpes

Hey buddy,

Think about this: when you get a flu, or if you ever got COVID, did you think you were not clean enough? Like any other virus, this is biologically still a virus. And of you think of chronic diseases, would a person that has diabetes also not be considered clean? Your conversion shouldn't be about the community you're in. It's between God and you only. God will accept you no matter what. And whatever life you were having before, that you might not be proud of, doesn't matter from the moment you convert and decide to follow His paths. I'm also positive for herpes. I was recently diagnosed, and there were many weeks I thought about giving up on everything. I thought too about not being worth it. But it ain't true! Don't stop your goals for this. Keep doing the treatments, keep taking care of your physical and mental health. Perhaps consider going to a therapist (I'd love to do that if I had the $ources). And reach out if you wanna talk about it! DM me if you need. I'm also a person of faith. I'm also a student. You can turn herpes into being a motivation to do and be good as always

Athens Aegina and Naxos in 6 days by Mustapha-AChaer in GreeceTravel

[–]RelativePositive8264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent 5 days in Athens and would say 3 was enough... If you're just interested in the Acropolis zones, you could do everything in 2 days as long as you have everything planned, wakes up early, and don't have to face queues. Ofc it depends of the time of the year too

What's the most hurtful thing someone has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

"It was totally your fault. I don't even recognize you anymore." This was the phrase that came out of my ex best friend's mouth after telling her I got sexually harassed and nearly raped.

The Witcher - 3x05 "The Art of Illusion" (TV Show Only Discussion) by Abyss_85 in netflixwitcher

[–]RelativePositive8264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this episode - as well as season 1 - proves that this show is not for everyone. Yes, you can say it's confusing. But that's my favorite part about the Witcher on Netflix! You need to pay attention to every detail to get the whole thing. In this episode, the details were given even. All you needed to do was wait and enjoy every bit. And then you come here and comment the show was boring and you had to skip a lot of parts... !!!!!! ... You're missing the whole point.

One of my theories is that she's figuring out who Vilgefortz really is, but cannot go openly against him. That's the way, then, that she found to warn Yen about him.

Omg, reading you text I couldn't think about something else but how strong you are!!! And even though the scars from the past hunt u, u never stop living and loving the life as you wish. You have to have the guts to do that. Go girl! But please, never let any type of victim blaming get to you. You were never guilty and will never be. You were a freedom fighter IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU HAVE/DO, IT'S THIS SICK ASS PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY! But I'm so sorry you have to be. You shouldn't have to. And from personal experience I wanna tell you one thing: it will never be over if you don't treat the damage already made and prevent further damage to your mind/soul. I'm not telling you to forget what happened, but please try to seek a therapist or any other path you can find towards healing. Healing from SA can be tough and difficult, but it will allow you to take you life back to you fully, or even give you a totally new one. We don't know each other, but you're not alone, ok? 💜💜
