gHSV1
Posted , 8 users are following.
It's been about 3 weeks since I was diagnosed with genital HSV1. I'd like to hear from others with HSV1 genitally. I've I'm pretty much healed and back to normal from the primary outbreak.. Which was the absolute worst pain I've ever felt in my entire life... Including childbirth. Whew, labor was a walk in the park compared do this crap! Anyways, I've heard and read that type 1 is typically a little less harsh and the outbreaks don't occur as often or severe as type 2. I've only had the one outbreak and I am currently taking one valacyclovir a day to suppress.. Not even sure if I need it but my doctor said I could take one every day for a year and after a year if I have had minimal to no more outbreaks that I may want to consider just keeping it on hand for when or if I feel a recurrent outbreak coming on. So, my question is.. Those if you who have gHSV1, have you suffered from many recurrent outbreaks? Have you not had any after the primary? Just some insight would be great! I know it varies from person to person and no one is the same. I'm just wanting to hear different outcomes with people with hsv1 in the genital area. Thank you!

I just been diagnosed with HSV1 and I don't know what to do. I have been in a relationship for 10 years. I had 2 kids with him and never crossed the line in cheat on him. But he was unfaithful to me. I had a regular Pap smear check up in November and I came back with an STD( chymidia). After those results I was devastated and we broke up. And recently I had a feeling on getting a complete scan urine and blood work and I took him along with me and made him get a complete scan (mind you we are not together). And then when I found out that I diagnosed with HSV1 and I am waiting on his results tomorrow. I have never experienced an outbreak or I have never seen him with an outbreak neither. I'm a mother of 3 beautiful kids and now that I am afraid of touching them too much beacause I feel extremely dirty. I spend my whole day reading and educating myself on HSV1. I'm still in shock. I don't know what to do. I feel all sort of emotions. I need help.

I've just gotten over my first outbreak of gHSV1. It was awful. I'm hearing on these boards that it won't be so bad next time or maybe not even recur. Would like to stay in touch with you to compare experiences. I am taking the daily suppressives as well.

I am so new to this and have so many questions. I am beginning to feel normal again. I felt nasty during my outbreak, I had open sores inside my bottom and was frightened of touching myself at all. I've read that soap and water kills this virus and that it cannot live on surfaces more than a few seconds. I'm totally afraid of passing this on to someone else. My outbreak was extremely painful, I cried for about 15 minutes each time I urinated. I have ghsv1. I've read that the first outbreak is usually the worst. I sure hope so.

I have constant tingling at my penis head, it has been 10 months.
I got anxiety depression as well. I have ghsv 1.
I wonder if I will continue to get tingling or it will be better as time goes by.
This weird tingling is really annoying and affecting my mood
