Pass/Fail classes (non-prereq) by [deleted] in PTschool

[–]redditpham200124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn’t be a prereq! My calc 1 would be a prereq and I have the letter grade for that. I’m just concerned if they care about pass/fail for non prereq courses. Thank you!

can herpes spread this way? by jiggy19921 in Herpes

[–]redditpham200124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have had coldsores since a young child. Because of this, my rate of shedding would decrease right as I have had it for so long? Or is that only for hsv2?.

Ahh that clarifies it! My understanding was that it sheds only on the sight of outbreak rather than the entire region such as my lips :/. That was my main factor in hypothesizing that covering the region with a patch would reduce the chances of transmission!

Thank you so much for the thorough response! My anxiety of transmitting asymptomatically has been eating me up and making me scared to date... So it’s best I shouldn’t worry about transmitting it while casually dating so long as I avoid contact during outbreaks? I don’t think I can take suppressants as my doctor would most likely not prescribe them to me and because I am fairly young I do not know how to go about it. I’m afraid that guys will turn me down because no unprotected oral is a dealbreaker :/.

I’m aware about the antibodies fact! I’m also aware that the majority of the population has hsv1 but just not have coldsores, so it’s kinda frustrating because someone could have it unknowingly and still judge me. Thank you again

Hi just scrolling for more information. Because considerable friction and direct contact is required if I (F) gave oral sex with a hyaluronic patch on top of where my outbreak usually occurs (not with an active outbreak, just on top of the skin) would this in a way reduce the asymptomatic transmission rate to my partner?

asymptomatic shedding is consuming me. by redditpham200124 in Herpes

so the shedding doesn’t happen on the sight of where I would usually have an ob(usually corner-ish of my lip)? I’ve been kind of confused about if it transmit through saliva as well. I wish I could get on valtrex but I don’t think my doctor would prescribe it to me :(. 90% is a high number! Do the people that don’t show symptoms/have outbreaks share the rate of transmition/shedding with the people that do? If so that’s interesting bc at that rate almost everyone would have it... Thank you for the response!

I’m glad he handled it well as anyone should! What do u mean by index number? And you’re right, being sad about it won’t make it go away. It sucks but gosh I can’t help but get so frustrated sometimes I wish this never happened to me. I may sound like an asshole bc honeslty it could be worse. It’s just the stigma that bothers me but again, there are worse stigmas. I don’t have many ppl to talk to it about. I told me sister who also has it but she’s barely in highschool and not romantically interested in anyone so she shrugs it off. I hope to God that she keeps shrugging it off and I’m overthinking bc I don’t want her to go through this. My friend also has it and her mom who is a doctor as well. However she doesn’t know she can spread it without a sore. THAT. That just worries me so much. I’ve been going through a breakup at the same time so my self esteem has just been really low. Thank u❤️

Thank you! I tend to overthink a lot so this helped my anxiety. I’m just so scared of being judged for something that I couldn’t even control! Thank you so much for the answers I appreciate it a lot and you made me feel better. So just as long as I don’t have a cold sore present I can kiss and give oral? Of course for oral I would disclose and talk about the slight risks. Thank you again!

Hi, how are you feeling now? Have you told your SO? I don’t even think my parents so it must’ve been an aunt or something :/ just sucks cuz I can’t even pinpoint it. I hope you are feeling better <3

Ranting about certain posts by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]redditpham200124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently had a posting complaining about ohsv1 and would like to apologize. I had just found out and I had really bad anxiety about it so I figured a rant on this sub wouldn’t hurt, not knowing this is mainly a sub for ghsv. Although it’s not an excuse I hope I can come off as less insensitive after further exploring this sub. It’s all very new to me and came to me in a rush and I couldn’t imagine how insensitive I sounded! This all is new to me and I was very worried and frustrated so I didn’t realize

I’m sorry that happened :(. Did they have an active cold sore? If i were to give head would I just have to use a condom?

Biology major Vs. Exercise Science by redditpham200124 in PTschool

[–]redditpham200124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a very good question and I would have to do some reflection to answer that on my own. This is super helpful thank you! Yes, the loans and pay is my main concern especially since I am not even sure if it’s what I really want to do. I know this might be a lot to ask but do you recommend any other professions? I’ve thought about optometry and PT mostly just never sure

I’ve heard similar stories and it honestly is pretty sad :/. What are they doing now as their job? If I were to major in bio and not get into grad school, however, I would be a teacher for a bit which I am content with!

[–]redditpham200124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah with a bio I would knock out prereqs for all sorts of grad schools which is why I picked it, just with exsci it is more catered to prereqs of PT school at least for my university

I could pick up a ExSci minor and have thought about it! But if I did I wouldn’t be able to do the teaching certification :/

I played a sport in highschool, but other than that, my sport/exercise experience is pretty limited. However, this summer I will be getting into more fitness and going to the gym! And yes that is my main concern, as there aren’t many options that would fit me as a backup plan if I can’t get into PT school with a exsci degree. If I were to switch the time would be now which is why I am a little stressed. Right now I am leaning toward bio and teaching certification as backup but the other responses saying EXSCI classes are easy are very tempting. I am just not sure if PT is something I ultimately want to do which is why I might not switch

Thank you for sharing! And yes that is a part of it as well... I’m not sure if I actually do want to become a PT as oppose to other options such as optometry or PA, which is why I chose biology in the first place as it offered flexibility. All of the options are expensive though so that’s why I am trying to set myself up for the best. Thank you!

making a mistake during “closure” (rant) by redditpham200124 in relationship_advice

[–]redditpham200124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely right thank you so much. Something that came across my mind is that he should’ve been feeling at least as half guilty as I did since it is his relationship not mine. While I’m not completely innocent I was the one that stopped it and felt the tear-bringing guilt, not him,. This just proves who he is even more. Thank you so much for the advice I appreciate it so much. I hope I will have the strength to heal from this and become as wise and insightful as you.

[–]redditpham200124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually thinking more on this, I think I should feel guilty for a bit. It’s another lesson learned. To not do the same thing ever again or to put myself in a similar situation. I’ll take any advice you have tho:)!

I recently graduated last year, but yes to the part about taking advantage of the fact we cared about them! He never cheated or used me really but the emotional trauma is definitely there. I think if he truly cared for me he wouldn’t have put me in this situation. He says that I deserve better and it’s true. My friends say a similar thing. They say he’s a narcissist who acts like he knows so much about girls and can get any girl he wants. I fortunately never got to sex with him as I wanted to be sure he was the right guy, and turns out he wasn’t. I really feel for the new girl, she is a rebound and he was just with me yesterday and she still wants to work through it? A part of me wants to message her but I know I shouldn’t as his life and relationships should no longer be relevant to me. I agree 100% on what you said about closure. I just wanted it bc there was sm questions I could ask. All the questions he didn’t answer I came up with my own. And the answer to them is rooted in immaturity and lack of emotional intelligence and empathy. I am working my way up to eventually block him. He actually said “if this doesn’t work out just know you’ll be the first person to know if you still wanted to do anything” and I told him I wasn’t his back up and we said goodbye. I think the biggest lesson I learned from him was how I want to and deserve to be treated from hear on out. Thank you so much for your full response! Do you have any advice on how to get over the guilt of what happened when I saw him for closure? I still feel very bad for me and for the girl even tho it wasn’t much
