HSV2 Questions
Posted , 7 users are following.
I was wondering if anyone could answer some questions (even if it's just one out of the below) I have as I've been recently diagnosed.
- My first outbreak was extremely mild to the point where doctors said it wasn't herpes, does this mean I'm less contagious?
- The only outbreak I have now looks like pimples on my pubic bone area (I'll attach a pic), does this make it easier to transmit to a partner than if it was vaginal?
- Does the severe nerve pain I have indicate an oncoming outbreak or is it just a symptom as it feels constant at times?
- Is it just the skin area where I get lesions that's infectious or is it literally everywhere down there?
- Can I have a normal sex life without transmitting if I just avoid sex when I have an outbreak?
Sorry for all the questions! I would really appreciate if people can answer some of these, I feel like I'm so fixated on having it at the moment.

This is literally all I get with an outbreak so you can see I'm lucky in that sense

Hi Claire, I am no expert and could be completely wrong but that does not look like herpes to me. It looks more like Impetigo

uh that does not look like herpes at all. Did your doctor already say you have it.

I initially had a herpes sore and tested positive via blood test. They said that it might be the case that I do not have typical symptoms as it can resemble a small pimple which I have also read before. They tingle and then go sore and then itch so I always assumed they were. It's sh*t becauss every sensation down there my paranoia puts it down to herpes.

Yeah the nerve pain is the worst! I'm just praying they bring out a cure one day. At least our symptoms are mild so our bodies our coping well. It's makes me think that every sensation I have is down to herpes.
