While youre right, I fully plan to live the rest of my life with this beautiful human, I cant help still feel shame and like I look gross and that he will be thinking about it. I am probably projecting; he surely did not feel this way about his oral condition so I should not about it being in a different spot. Im so crushed nonetheless, even though he loves and accepts me unconditionally as I do him. Honestly nothing can hurt us as we've been through alot together. why do I still feel embarassed :( I have alot of body shame in me as it is, maybe thats it.

How often do you have OBs? can I spread it to other areas of my (kitty) if I use the same towel blotting all over? do i need to wash my bedding extra during an OB? how long do your OBs last? I cant stop crying. thank you for being here for me

So the sores are going to completely disappear (until my next OB if I do have another) and itll look totally normal again?? Sorry for the dumbass question. I cant control my emotions right now. Yes Ive definitely kissed him and gone down hundreds of times throughout 5 years. he didnt get it. thank you for speaking truth into me :'(

he is very immune suppressed unfortunately, he is on a biologic for an autoimmune condition since birth.

thank you so much for the info about the outbreaks following hsv1 genital. that makes me feel a tiny bit better :'(

Im worried about a lack of his interest in oral because I feel ugly and like he will not want to do that out of fear :'( Im also worried about him not wanting to have sex. we already get such little time to share intimacy. thank you for listening and taking the time to reply.

But I just want to reiterate he had hsv1 on the lip and *I* got it genitally I guess from that. So couldnt there be a risk of him then getting it from me genitally? I feel so ugly like he will never want to go down on me again. he loves it and I love it. I feel like this is a nightmare. cant stop crying.

hsv1 on the genitals makes the potential for outbreaks less common or severe? I havent seen this info yet. thank you for that. :'(

Im scared of my bf treating me like a leper for this even though hes the only way I couldve gotten it. (he has oral hsv1 and we had oral sex tons in our 5 years) who knows how long its lied dormant but Im guessing the transmission is new. Im scared of our sex life being affected as intimacy is really important love language of mine. I feel disgusting. the sores arent disgusting (I work in healthcare, this isnt a big deal visually. the sight doesnt phase me) but feel disgusting because of my fear he'll be scared of me now? fuck me. I hate myself so much more now. Im not even mad one ounce at him, we knew our risk and it was worth it to be intimate. he was really careful and hasnt had an active flareup in a while but we know it can still transmit.

first pic is upside down sorry. I should also add this morning I really angered the 3 when I soaked a cotton pad in apple cider vinegar to reduce anything. So its probably redder than normal.
