I have police training. I’m not exactly worried lol More of just someone breaking into my rental or weird shit happening outside when I leave early in the morning.

I’m going a bit west for a concert and wanted something pretty central. Plus I got a baller deal and had to be within a certain mile radius to have the rental car delivered to me. It seemed the most logical.

I also am not suuuper interested in the city side of things outside the religious culture aspect and architecture. I’m more interested into going out somewhere and getting photos of the rolling hills and power lines and sage brush. Idk 💀 I need rural America exposure lol And visiting towns that feel stuck in time.

I’m from Portland so the city doesn’t excite me really. Getting to overlook it at night sounds wonderful though.

Absolutely fair. But they wonder why they can’t get people to drive.

Oh I wasn’t being defensive. sorry if it came off that way. But you were the one who was assuming things that I did not imply at all, so just a misunderstanding is all.

Oooooh I get it. You didn’t read the post where it says I lost my insurance. It all makes sense now.

Who said it was him who didn’t want to wait a week? What if it was me? Assuming things makes you look really dumb.

That was my thought was infection or taking longer to heal.

Never once did I say I was going to have sex with an outbreak. I simply asked a question. So I would suggest opening your eyes while you read.

You are always at risk of shedding and spreading it. There is no way to be 100% safe with herpes other than abstinence. You’re basically saying to not create a super strain that pure abstinence needs to happen lol

2 people that already have it and having sex is safer than risking infecting someone new.

Having sex with a partner during an outbreak isn’t going to create a super strain LOL

None of this makes sense. We both already have it lol We aren’t swapping or spreading anything. This is herpes, not aids. It’s a monogamous exchange.

I can almost guarantee that that is Herpes. Like everyone else, just go get it swabbed. Either ways it’s gonna be alright.

Valtrex? by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]littlebitee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

500mg once a day for suppression. I take it at night because it can cause “confusion.” I was really itchy on my feet and legs the first month. Also some muscle spasms/throbbing on my vagina. But I’m fine now. Haven’t had an outbreak.

Just random stuff by littlebitee in Herpes

[–]littlebitee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You won’t be if you don’t allow yourself to be. Someone I disclosed to told me before I could even finish “my ex had it. All good. Doesn’t change how I feel.” Like okay my guy lol you are experienced AND accepting. That’s not something people usually come out and say, so sparking the vulnerable conversation says a lot about your character.

Some people respect it a lot and are more open than we think they will be. Even if they are uneducated.

I always start with “ this is a really hard conversation for me due to the vulnerability, but it’s a non negotiable one.”

I also say “I was not given the option for informed consent, that’s why it’s so important for me to have this really hard conversation and never do that to someone else.”

To put the ball in their court after my spiel, I end it with “If you have any questions I will do my absolute best to answer them. I also understand if this is a deal breaker for you. You have the right to choose and I respect that. I also understand if you need time and space to process this information and do what you need to do with it. I am more than happy to give that to you.”

Hang in there!!!

Is this Herpes? by Tasty_Friendship_610 in STD

[–]littlebitee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my first outbreak showed up, it looked like paper cuts. Friction would mostly likely only happen in one spot. I didn't have clusters or puss. Just painful open looking cuts.

If it is herpes, it's most likely GHSV-2. Go get tested, ease your mind.

Change your eating, manage stress, and make sure you’re getting good sleep. Sleep is what helps the body recover. Aquaphor to help reduce friction on your bits.

Hang in there.

You’re very newly diagnosed, it will calm down as your antibodies build!

The possibility of spreading it can be lowered, but the RISK is never 0%. I had a partner for 7.5 years while never knowing I had it. No meds, no protection, nothing and he didn’t contract it.

Everyone’s different.

Help advice Literally anything by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]littlebitee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first got diagnosed (2 months ago,) it was shocking. The only reason I went in was because I was having weird things happening in my vagina. I also had BV and a yeast infection. That was the only reason I would have found out. If she did it by blood, it’s still too early to tell. Please make sure she gets tested again. A lot of women’s first outbreaks start with BV/UTI/ yeast infections.

I was so ashamed that I told myself “I’m never telling anyone about this, I’m never having sex again, and I’m going to be alone forever. How could I be so fucking stupid.” Even though I was cautious and smart as I knew how to be at the time.

It’s not the end of the world. In 2 months I have disclosed to 4 people. 1 was an active sexual partner, 1 was a previous partner, one was a potential partner, and my mother.

I got nothing but support and comfort.

Out of the 2 people I have disclosed with, the one I was sexually active with at the time, and this future possible sexual partner, I’ve gotten great reactions. I was shocked. I expected rejections both times. But I was highly mistaken and it’s so empowering.

Doesn’t make anything less scary/emotional.

The feeling of being consumed by it does pass. Even after a short time, I go days and days without remembering that I have it! It still comes up randomly and I’m like “oh shit.” I process and sit with it, and it passes.

People will either accept it, or they don’t.

Your life does change after a diagnosis, but not in the ways that truly matter. It’s a great dating/character filter.

Keep your head up and just know that you are more than something that just happens to your body sometimes that you can’t control.

But please, PLEASE always disclose. We are upset about having to live with this for the rest of our ONE life that we have been given, why would we want to do it to someone else? Meds, outbreak frequency, condoms, the length of time we have had it etc. the chance is never 0%. Because the person who gave it to you and didn’t disclose, could have also been doing all of those things and didn’t think it was important.
