I have a few queries regarding HSV-1
Posted , 4 users are following.
Today I received my test results which provided a positive for HSV-1 on my private areas and couldn't "comfortably" ask the questions I had to my Dr (mainly because I was a little embarassed by my diagnosis..) I was initially suspecting HSV-2 so all of my research was based around HSV-2 than HSV-1. So what does this mean in terms of my breakouts and what's the significant difference betwen HSV-1 and HSV-2? I'm getting married to my fiance soon (I contracted this from him when we were engaging in oral, he must have had a sore without symptoms I suppose) how will this impede our sex life? I read somewhere that rough-sex is also a trigger for any recurring breakouts which is a bummer because my fiance and I have not had penetrative sex yet and it's already so painful when he tries (we decided on waiting for our marriage for this), any tips or advice? When my fiance does not have a cold sore on his mouth, is it permissible for us to share bottles, cups etc.?
Thank you so much in advance, I love the support and knowledge this site provides.
My initial "outbreak" was AWFUL. I was absolutely miserable from pain, if you're also suffering your first outbreak my advice is to hang in there because it truly does get better. You just need to wait it out unfortunately, stick to the pills/pain-killers, salt baths, cold-presses against your sores and you will survive this, I promise!

Believe me when I tell you, I was far from positive and bright a few days ago but now I've come to the realisation that there's no point in moping about "My life's over, I have HSV 1 or 2..." in fact, I wrote a "venting" post during my outbreak a few days ago when I was at my utmost worst so if you read that you'll see how miserable I really was. Life goes on, it's just a cold sore at a really inconvenient place.

I understand your worries, I think that's one less stress from my end since my fiance is accepting of this and I contracted it from him. Nonetheless it can be worrying regardless to have that talk, and you have every right to be feeling the way that you do.
I always believe and will continue to think to that the man worthy of you shouldn't limit their love for you because of this, hun. Transmission to other partners CAN be prevented, this is crucial after you discuss this with your partner. There's so much more to you than this "virus", one day someone is certainly going to see this and accept you for the character you are, believe me. I've read so many forums where people explain of finding love, get married, having children and still leading healthy sex lives without transmission to their spouses. I'd read a lot of forums of people who are experiencing the same things as you, you'll be surprised at the success stories some share. There is hope, please hang in there and be strong I promise you will conquer this!
