Being told I have herpes..
Posted , 5 users are following.
So yesterday I was told I have herpes type 1. I noticed my symptoms, and went to the doctor and she swbbed it. I had blisters on my vagina and my doctor then swabbed the sores. My question is how did i get type 1 on my vagina? I get it, the whole oral thing, and that I got it through oral sex but my bf ( the one who I got herpes from) never had a cold sore or anything. I know its un common to get type 1 on your private area so my question is how and what exactly is it? what should I expect? What exactly is the difference between type 1 and type 2?

Least not the type that you have , you don't shed as much .

It is my understanding that if you have type 1 it could be harder to get type 2 but it is still a real possibility.
Type 2 genitally can be a bummer, at least it is for me. As a matter of fact, because I had no previous exposures, my initial outbreak was Type 2 both orally and genitally - so it is possible to get Type 2 in both places, though rare.
Good luck to you.

I also ready online that of the people with type 1 in the genital area only a fourth shed the virus, and its not much shedding at all.
So having type 1 is much easier to deal with in the genital area i guess.
