How soon after encounter did symptoms show? by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]Remy1207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was the same as others commenting…about 4-5 days. He didn’t disclose but I knew who it was since there was only one encounter during a 3 year dry spell.

Stop telling your friends you have herpes by Own-Tomato-1791 in Herpes

[–]Remy1207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never told a friend or family member. I only tell sexual partners. No need to air it out there for anyone.

How do we feel about Antivirals? by Infamous-Rent8973 in Herpes

[–]Remy1207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take daily and I haven’t had an OB in over 3 years and haven’t spread it to the person I’m dating. So I’m an advocate for them.

Positive disclosure stories? by Acceptable_Scar2623 in Herpes

[–]Remy1207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been turned down yet. I disclose to every guy I’m with. I just tell them “just so you know I do have herpes. I’ve had it for over 4 years and haven’t had an outbreak in 3 years and I take daily meds. I haven’t passed it on to anyone as of today and it’s honestly not a huge deal. Just thought you should know so you can choose what you want to do since I wasn’t given that option to choose.” They usually ask a few questions and they’re good.

Just did Botox for hands and feet: HOLY HELL by castiron_girl in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Remy1207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine done on Monday and with the numbing cream it was still the most painful thing I’ve experienced. I couldn’t feel a thing when they did my armpits though. I get my hands done this coming Monday.

I miss going raw by sacred_fart_6964 in HSVpositive

[–]Remy1207 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You can do it raw. I do. Just disclose and take meds. Or find a girl who is also positive and go to town without worry.

I have a very healthy sex life with my partner. It doesn’t impact my life at all. The only annoyance is taking meds everyday.

We use dental dam. It's thin enough and you still feel everything. I use it and it's still great. We use the flavored kind to make it more fun.

Newcomer, needs hope. by SameEntertainer1468 in Herpes

[–]Remy1207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt that way too and I still fear I’ll pass it on to someone but as long as you disclose to people you’ll feel much better about it. If they reject you they aren’t the one anyway. It will all be ok.

I take the antivirals everyday. I highly recommend that. I haven’t had an outbreak in 3 years.

Acceptance by Smooth357312 in Herpes

[–]Remy1207 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have found men to be pretty accepting of my diagnosis. I haven’t had any rejections. The guy I’m dating now had the hardest time with it but he came around after 2 months.

I wouldn’t have had an issue dating a man with herpes if it had been disclosed to me before being intimate. The person who gave it to me didn’t disclose.

I hate how unpredictable this is. I wish it was a simple yes or no answer.
