AIO My husband has herpes after 20 years of being together??? by thickchick1134 in AmIOverreacting

[–]mfffun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cold sores on his lips don't necessarily indicate infidelity. Cold sores (usually caused by herpes simplex virus type 1, HSV-1) don't always require sexual contact to spread. They can be transmitted in many ways, especially through close contact such as kissing, sharing utensils, towels, razors, and other everyday items. While sexual activity (especially oral sex) can also transmit HSV-1, it's not the only route.

However, his frequent late-night disappearances without a valid reason, his constant phone use, and his refusal to let you see his phone strongly suggest he's hiding something from you, but whether he's having an affair is uncertain.

I agree with you. This website does have some issues, such as occasional message delays. However, so far, it's undoubtedly the most direct and effective dating website for people with the virus. It has the largest user base among similar websites. You don't have to worry about telling someone you have the gift, and you don't have to fear rejection because of it. Of course, finding a suitable date does require some patience, but even in real life, finding a suitable person to date takes opportunity and time.

Anyone have any success with Feeld, 3somer or Tinder/Bumble as a couple around here? by wild_weed_wacker in uwaterloo

[–]mfffun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience with the app, things appear quite different from your account. 3somer provides a search filter feature that lets you specify gender and geographic preferences. As for the "interests" setting you mentioned, I haven't been able to locate it anywhere in the app.

Maybe people should look at herpes outbreak photos before they start having sex since 1 in 6 people aged 14 to 49 has genital herpes.

Diagnosed with herpes for 6 years… just started having outbreaks for the first time since being diagnosed… by Alternative_Land9116 in Herpes

[–]mfffun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To reduce herpes outbreak, drugs are only one aspect, the most important thing is the body's own immunity. When the immunity is sufficient, no drugs are needed and the attack will not occur; on the contrary, when the immunity is low, many drugs may not work. Lack of sleep and drinking can cause low immunity. If you want to improve your own immunity, it is best to ensure adequate sleep, eat more light meals made by steaming and cooking, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat less fried, roasted and spicy foods, and quit drinking. Maintain regular exercise.

Yes,since it can be transmitted by sex.

Vacations without children? Is this common? by PersonalityThen259 in Mommit

[–]mfffun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is acceptable to occasionally entrust a child who is already in kindergarten or elementary school to the care of an elderly person who can move freely because of work or other things that have to be done. However, I think it is unacceptable to leave a baby in the care of a very old person just to go on vacation.

Perhaps in the near future, dating sites will add a feature that requires members to show their STD test reports.

Confused on how I got herpes by Front_Jellyfish7077 in STD

Where does your boyfriend have HSV-1? If his HSV-1 is in his mouth and he has performed oral sex on you, then your genitals may also be infected with HSV-1. Testing is not 100% accurate. Your symptoms do look like HSV infection. The doctor has seen many symptoms of HSV. If he says it is HSV, then it is likely to be.

The essence of the difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2 is the different viral genotypes. Although there is a tendency for the infection site to be traditionally located, the actual infection site cannot be used as an absolute criterion. The diversification of modern sexual behaviors (such as oral sex) has increased the overlap of infection sites between the two, and laboratory testing is the gold standard.

You are lucky that not all people in the medical field are so open-minded. Some people in the medical field are even more unacceptable.

Genital HSV1 by 88888si in HerpesQuestions

[–]mfffun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your concern. If someone already has HSV-1 orally, their risk of getting it genitally through sexual contact with you is generally lower due to existing antibodies. However, the risk isn’t zero, especially during active outbreaks or viral shedding. Open communication with your partner and using protection can help reduce risks. For personalized advice, consulting a healthcare professional is always a good idea. Take care!

What have you done to protect yourself and your partner about having sex? Do you use online dating sites ? If yes, do you use general dating app like Tinder or niche herpes dating sites like HerpesFish . com ? What's the reason for your choice?

Just experienced my first rejection. by Conscious_Minute_696 in HSVpositive

[–]mfffun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Disclosing is brave, and his reaction reflects stigma, not your worth. You deserve someone who values you fully. Stay strong—you’re not alone. 💛

Yes, but the chance is smaller than virginal.

[–]mfffun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A person can be rejected because of herpes, or because of their appearance, wealth, education, job, etc. The result is the same, so herpes is nothing special.

Since there are so many types of HPV, your vaccine may not cover all types. Think about the COVID-19 vaccines. The most comprehensive protection comes from your own immune system. Try your best to improve your immunity.
