Herpes concerns
Posted , 4 users are following.
My bf just found out a 4 days ago that he has herpes. I got checked about 2 months ago for all stds and came up clean. We were told that you can pass negative for herpes and still have it is that true? Another thing is we can't use condoms because I will get yeast infection and I break out with them. I want to continue having sex with him but I'm worried about getting herpes. I love him to death. Is there anyone that has any advice to still be safe from getting herpes and having unprotected sex?

I have the same reaction w condoms. Use non-latex condoms and you won't have that problem. Durexs polyurethane condoms are great.
Below are the rates of transmission, male to female over the course of a year, having sex on average 3xs a week and refraining from sexual contact during signs or symptoms.
- 10% no protection
- 5% condoms or daily suppressive medication
- 2.5% condoms and medication

Did he test positive by swab or blood? Hsv 1 or 2? How soon after he last slept w her, did he get tested?
How long have you been w him?

I would go get tested if I were you anyway and ask did it, doctors don't test for this and if you google it, you'll see for yourself. Herpes wouldn't cause issues w your period, so I don't think it is safe to assume he tested you. Usually that would be testing for an STD that causes pelvic inflammatory disease, that could cause issues and he probably tested you for those ones, which are bacteria. Unless you see tests results yourself that has herpes in there, it is never safe to assume.

I had symptoms immediately. I was sore the day of sex and thought it was because it had been two yrs. The next day I was more sore when I went wee. By the night of day two, going on day 3 since contact, I developed a cluster of fissures inside the crease of my outside and inner labia and one big bump located lower. The gyno even said she's seen people have a breakout this quickly. GPs don't seem to know anything about herpes, let alone tey to learn about the latest on it, instead of old outdated information. Some still tell patients they're only contagious during obs!!! It's insane!
Sounds like it's her. There's been people in here, that felt symptoms even faster than I did. Like an extreme burning during sex and after. I jut felt sore and differently.. Hard to explain..

I think you should go and request a herpes test. Better to know than not yo lnow, then things may not be so complicated for ypu two, if you test positive. Why do you feel concerned about it if you get them often?

If their tests came back negative, either you have it and don't know or he's slept w someone else.
Sex can irritate the skin, making herpes activate.. Hence possibly what you think are yeast infections, may possibly be herpes
