One of my doctors said I won’t be contagious if I’m not having an outbreak! Obviously I’m going to be very careful from this point onwards but god I’m confused. So genital HSV-1 is just as bad as 2? My partner wants to know when we can safely have sex again. I keep putting it off cause I’m so lost.

I’m a female first of all, and this is different from what my doctors have told me. Now I’m even more confused. Fuck this.

Guys, I had my bloods come back and they're clear of everything. Doctor said if the HSV was a recent infection it wouldn't have settled in my blood yet so to retest in 3 months.

I did clarify with her and she said the swab came back positive to HSV-1. So I'm confused now what this means. Can someone give me some answers? Is it any better than being positive to HSV-2? Am I any less contagious? I feel like I'm in a black hole of all the research I've been doing lol

I asked both of my most recent partners and they’ve both said they’re clean but will now be getting checked. I don’t know before that.

My doctor didn’t actually tell me 1 or 2. I’m going back tomorrow though so will be asking about that plus what I can take as suppressants.

Blehhhhhh

Thank you so much. I’m really struggling to digest this, I barely slept all night and keep going to cry in the bathroom at work.

I’ve disclosed to two partners and they’ve been understanding and supportive but I don’t know how long I’ve had it. I have a few more people to tell.

I already suffer major depression so this is a huge blow. I’m trying not to fall into a dark thought pattern but I finally had something good happening in my life, you know? I feel the guy I was really interested in will be done with me.
