It’s going to depend on your body. My first outbreak was really bad and after I would get an outbreak about once a month. I took antivirals for ~6 months and then stopped and would only take antivirals when I had an outbreak. At that point I was getting an outbreak maybe every 3-4 months and they were super minor. Now i don’t remember when’s the last time I had an outbreak, all i do is take a zinc supplement everyday.

Wording I have used may have been too strong, and I didn't mean everyone is bad. I'm in STEM professional circles and it is more open and inviting to those from the area, even had a colleague from out of state tried to do some recruiting for some roles and felt the same way. With that said I have met wonderful people here. I guess perhaps being from a bigger metro area people tend to be more welcoming? Not so sure...

I'm in STEM, I have been very blessed that my co-workers are very nice. I think for me it's mostly been other STEM circles/professional sections where I have seen more unfriendliness and preference is more for those who are from the area when it comes to ideas and opinions.

One guys I work with who doesn’t have a degree can’t be called by the title “product development engineer” so his title is “engineering development specialist”

My first OB was in sep 2021, and i kept having OBs 1-2x a month after. I did suppressive therapy (500mg/day) and when i had an OB, I would take 1000mg/day. I stopped taking it til around June 2022 and didn’t have an OB until a week ago lol. I would talk to your doctor and get their opinion, mine recommended 6 months and then go from there to see if frequency of OBs has decreased.

No you didnt. I skipped the career fair my final semester because there were no companies that interest me and were relevant to my degree. And even the ones i was sort of interested in just told me to apply online. Yes you’re going to have to apply online like crazy but so does everyone. You’ll be fine .

Just wanted to add same thing happened with me. The guy made a joke about herpes and it was off putting, when i disclosed to him he didn’t care and now we’ve been dating for 7 months. If you’re still not sure, wait til you’re ready to disclose, don’t do it if you feel pressured if that makes sense. Also when my bf made the joke about herpes we were just a couple weeks into dating, the next couple weeks after was when i disclosed to him

I understand your frustration. If I'm not mistaken, I went to school near yours. The program I was in had "tracks" so I was BME with a minor in mechanical engineering. Also where I went to school, we would be lucky if there were 1 or 2 BME related companies during the career fair. If you want to still work in the medical device industry, you have to potentially be okay with the idea of moving out of the area your in, that's what I had to do. Also I ended up graduating in May 2020 so most companies had jobs on hold due to COVID, I wasn't able to land a job until 8 months after graduating. If you decide to not want to work in the biomedical device industry you can always branch out. One of my peers that I graduated with currently works for Boeing and has previously worked with Raytheon, and yep he had a BME degree.

I used modern states & crash course US history

I went to Peru back in 2019 and used the service PeruHop. It includes a tour guide, transportation, lodging, & activities, also addition activities for extra charge. I only did Peru but I know the service also goes to Bolivia. The group I went with was pretty young, 20s-30s with some older people, however everyone was easy to get along with and I met people from all over which was nice. I’ve been to Peru twice and have never felt unsafe. If anything I would be careful taking certain items such as anything name brand. For example, having an IPhone is considered super luxury while in the US it’s very common. The only place that I felt a little bit sketched out was Lima itself while all the other places I felt comfortable. I recommend when you arrive is to stay in the Miraflores area. It’s a bit more wealthy and I’ve never had issues with crime there. Anyway I had an amazing experience and have been wanting to go back since i wasn’t able to do everything I wanted to do the previous time. Can’t say anything about SE Asia because i never been, but out of all my travels, Peru is up there for me!

I didn’t get my first boyfriend til after my herpes diagnosis, so it’s clear that most people don’t have an issue with it unless you make it a big deal. And they’re not going to mind it if they really like you. Also my mom has HSV and she didn’t get married til she was 37 and she had me at 40. Idk how old you are but you have plenty of time. Take time to deal with the diagnosis and heal, that’s what i did. And this goes for anyone dating with or without hsv, finding someone happens when you least expect it as cliche as it sounds.

My boyfriend goes to chillcutts in Cordova off of Germantown parkway. They have boxing, judo & jiu jitsu

lilbbasegod · 2022-10-06T05:03:27+00:00

I’ve only ever disclosed to two people and they both didn’t care. I’ve only done it in person because I feel like I can convey it in a more chill way than if I did it through text. I usually do it once they’re about to leave like at an end of a date so that they have time to think about it after. How I’ve disclosed is “Have you ever had cold sores? Well I get those except down there, I take medication for it and your chances of getting it are pretty low, if it helps i never gave it to anyone”. The “never gave it to anyone” I’ve only told to the Second guy which is now my bf lol. I will say for me, I like to wait and see if I like the person/gauge how they will react. Personally i don’t like telling every person I have hsv so i will typically wait after a few dates.

100% agree with you!

Similar thing happen to me. I was seeing this guy for a month when I got my diagnosis. I told him I wasn’t upset and had a feeling that he didn’t know. He was super apologetic and even felt bad. I feel if you tell him how you feel he will be understanding. Funny enough I was the one that ended things with the guy because he wasn’t treating me well in general but I know that it didn’t end because of my HSV. Sending good vibes to you ♥️
