So I had sex Saturday night and I thought I had a tear from sex. It doesn't really hurt however its still there. This morning I wake up to what seems to be a burning sensation inside my vagina. However when I pee it doesn't burn. Is this an outbreak?

      I've been checked twice through IgG blood testing. I was diagnosed with HSV 1 and 2. So I know I have I've just never had an outbreak.

    I had something similar except I thought I had chafing from so much walking the day before and from what I thought was a yeast infection but when I checked I saw I had what looked liked a canker sore, and I got test done still waiting on my results but I feel like I know the answer already! I was just wondering how do you deal with it?

      Tea tree oil and olive extract, cyst baths, and medication is the best treatment.

      I can't really say I've truly dealt with it since its still fairly new information for me. It hasn't been a month since I found out. I'm not dating anyone new so that makes it easier. I try not to look at it as a curse because everything happens for a reason. I just continue to pray and meditate. I look at life differently though.

      I was wondering can I ask how long have you been living with it?

      I still haven't gotten my results back yet but I feel like I know the outcome. At first it was hard on me and cried for days but now I feel like I should be grateful that I'm still living my bf also know that it could be a possiblty of me having it and he's been there for me so I'm just grateful for that to have him and my daughter by my side.

      I cried a lot as well but reality sunk in on me....that crying isn't going to change it. Having a support system helps tremendously!

      Yes that's exactly what happened to me I can't change it so I'll deal with it. Can I ask you if you've had any other outbreaks anywhere else besides the genital area?

      How's is like living with it? I read so much about it but I would love to hear from someone who actually deals with it and if you could help in anything that I could do to ease the pain if and when I have an outbreak?

      Well truly I don't feel any different and that reason could be that I'm not meeting new people. I've been with the same man for 10 years. I'm sure if and when I try dating I will feel totally different. I thought I was experiencing my first OB when I posted this. And if in fact it was then it wasn't to bad. No I I haven't experienced a OB anywhere else.

      Well i try to stay away from being promiscuous. Also when there is someone I really like, i tell them... Because there is always a risk, even tho it is higher ridk or transmission with presence of an outbreak. Before I found out my diagnosis i was talking cyst baths and DROWNING my genitals with olive oil and tea trea oil mix. Both must be 100 % organic

      Is there any advice you can give ? I've been with my bf for almost 3 years we have a daughter together and he's super supportive. But I just recieved the call from my dr that she has my results and wants to talk to me and go over them, I guess I'm just freaking out a bit and nervous about what my bf would say he's been supportive so far but to me it feels like it's just because it was just a what if and now it might be I actually have this I know that I have to be open with him about and I'm prepared to do so I'm just scared of the reaction sad
