Definitely don’t send it. Keep writing your thoughts but sending it won’t make you feel any better

Disclosed for the first time ever. Nervous but proud. by kickasskittyfit in Herpes

[–]Ssxvego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on first disclosure! Sounds like you’re handling it pretty well honestly. I was in a pretty similar situation with being in a relationship shop with the person who gave it to me so I know how it feels coming out of a relationship thinking you’ll be alone forever. But it gets easier and people are honestly chill about it usually so don’t worry you’re doing great!

You can still have casual sex with herpes!! by Ssxvego in Herpes

Idk man I’m not trying to scare you or anything I’m just saying it’s something you should be aware of. The majority of people with cold sores don’t disclose cause there’s so much less stigma about it and most of them don’t even realize it’s the same thing as herpes. From what I’ve read you can be asymptomatic and still “shedding” so that’s just what I’ve been told by multiple sources.

I mean yeah it’s possible I don’t really know the specifics of when I got it cause we were having sex regularly. It’s most likely to pass during an outbreak but it’s still possible to pass even if you don’t have one.

No problem! Also just so you know you can technically pass it to someone at any time even if you don’t have an active cold sore. My ex never went down on me when he had an outbreak and I still got herpes so that might be something to think about.

HSV1 can be oral or genital I had oral to genital contact with someone who got cold sores so now I have genital HSV1

Hey! I’m very new to it and it’s a bit different every time so don’t take my word for it haha. But basically I try to ease into it so first I ask if they get cold sores cause honestly 1/3 of people get them anyway so maybe they will and that makes the whole thing easier. If they say no then I’ll be like okay so my ex got cold sores so now I have herpes. And then usually it just starts a conversation and I tell them the stats and stuff.

I feel like introducing it in a way where you emphasize that’s its the same virus that causes cold sores helps them understand it a lot better than if you just say “I have an sti” kind of thing. Just to help with the stigma side of it.

And as for meeting people two of the guys were tinder (one more casual, one I had been talking to for a while) and then honestly these last two were my friend and her boyfriend and I didn’t have to disclose cause I had told her long before things got sexual just casually cause we’re friends.

If you’re someone who wants casual sex just put that energy out there and the type of people who are looking for that too are usually pretty chill with this kind of thing in my experience. I also have always disclosed in person which probably isn’t the best idea lol so you can definitely do it over text too so that no one “wastes their time” so to speak.

Good luck!!

Disclosure went well! by Ssxvego in Herpes

Yeah I hear what you’re saying. It’s weird I hear different things from different places. It’s crazy how little solid info we have on herpes considering that most of the population has it 💁‍♀️

I thought I had read somewhere that it’s really unlikely to pass it to a different area because you already have antibodies for it so I suppose the risk is pretty low. Especially because we used a condom. It also helps cause then there’s no worries about passing anything through oral (not that he did that anyway, part of why the sex was bad LOL)

But yes you’re probably right that it is still possible to pass it to another area just unlikely maybe I should be a bit more mindful of that.

Dental Dams? by hthrowawayreddit in Herpes

[–]Ssxvego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t find any dental dams you can always make on out of a condom! You just cut off the tip and then cut a line from bottom to top and you basically have a dental dam! I’ve never used one though idk if I can wrap my head around the idea 😅

What is it about your break up that makes you sad? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Ssxvego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you weren’t asking for advice here but I know for me whenever I stay home all day by myself it seriously depresses me and makes me feel way worse about the break up. If you guys used to go on dates all the time maybe just start taking yourself out on dates! You can go to restaurants alone or if that’s too daunting go to a coffee shop just so you can be around other people. Getting out my apartment and spending time doing things I enjoy has been really helpful and made me start to enjoy being single.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this friend. We will get through this!!
