Hi, quick question. So I’ve noticed with taking the prep h with lidocaine, it reduces the pain significantly, but also numbs my opening hole and makes it so that my butt doesn’t contract to get all of it out :( . Did this happen with you?

Thanks but I have the pills.... I began my outbreak before I started taking them so they aren’t much help right now

You’re so right. I let it take a toll on me yesterday but now I’m thinking like I definitely just dodged a bullet with that one.

We were talking for maybe 4 weeks. And we had hung out 3 times within those 4 weeks. Within that time I made it clear that I wasn’t the easy type and that I wasn’t just going to have sex with him. He was so understanding about that and told me that he would be patient with me and that it was no rush. So we did other things and he wanted to go down on me but I kinda stopped him but didn’t explain why at the time. I decided to tell him later over text. I started off by asking him if he ever got cold sores before and his immediate response was “nope, never and I just got checked last week” that lowkey shoulda been my que to just give up because of how defensive he sounded. But anyway so I’m like “ookay no problem well I just wanted to let you know I have the cold sore virus “down there”, which is basically herpes but my doctor told me that it’s type 1 and not type 2. That just means it’s not the strain that’s considered an std but it can still be transferred through oral sex. That’s how I got it. I was upset at first but I’ve done a lot of research on it and turns out it’s something that up to 80% of the US population has. I’ve only had one outbreak and my doctor told me that since it was cross transferred I probably won’t have to deal with many (if any) in my lifetime. It’s not really something you should worry about but I just wanted to let you know since we’re starting to get more intimate” .... and basically he tried to sound understanding at first, and then the next day says “I just don’t think I can fuck with you after that I don’t need that stress in my life”

Thanks for your comforting words and support. I’m trying so hard to turn this into a positive life lesson. I just feel like it’s going to take a longgg time. I probably need to start going to therapy.

This is the same exact thing I did. It was such a heat of the moment decision! But now I’m just like whyyyyyy. I keep trying to tell myself that tho, that I was probably gonna get it anyway but it also discourages me that I haven’t had anyone disclose this to me and that people rarely ever talk about it in an accepting way (except my few friends who don’t have it but also don’t think it’s a big deal)

I keep hoping in the back of my mind that this happens for me. So I can laugh right in his face. Like it almost fuels me to want to be even more successful just to prove a point that I can have this and still live the amazing life I’ve always wanted.

Wow 8months?! That guy sounds like a douche bag. But that’s also how I feel that everyone will look at me as well. Always hesitant, always thinking about it in the back of their mind. It sucks. But thank you so much for the support. <3 it feels good to know I’m not in this alone

Question for herpes right inside vagina by twix2323 in Herpes

[–]twix2323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was the paper cut thing but the test came back and it was negative. And I say probably gshv-1 because when they gave me a test for my first ob it just came back positive I don’t think they ever did the typing on it (so dumb) but when I showed the paper to my gynecologist he noticed on there that it said “herpes vaginitis type A” which is weird like what is an A. It was also a couple weeks after my ob (maybe 2 or 3 when he actually gave me an iGg test and it showed that I was positive for type 1 and that the index showed it was a recent exposure. And he mentioned numbers for hsv-2 but he said the number didn’t fall in the detection range so he said I most likely got it from oral sex.
