    Herpes doesn't usually infect the inside of the mouth. Are you sure that's what it is? Have you had it looked at or swabbed?

    Herpes down below, regardless of type, does not have any impact on fertility and you can have a healthy pregnancy, delivery and baby, when you're ready, provided you notify your doctor and follow their advice.

    For now, yes, it sucks to have herpes, it can make you feel like "damaged goods", as well as the only one with this wretched virus. However, you are still the same person you were before, your giver obviously has it, so not just you, plus they say it's relatively common, just that most people have no idea or don't openly talk about it due to the stigma. Bottom line, you're not alone. Look at us all on here!

    Did you ever get tested for genital herpes, and if so, which type do you have? Type 1 is certainly much easier to manage physically as well as emotionally, imo. I have Type 2, if it's any consolation. Anyway, hang in there! smile

      Yes, genital herpes can cause itching, and if you think it was acquired via oral sex, then it's probably Type 1. Did they actually test you previously or was it just a visual diagnosis? The latter is not accurate and several things can be mistaken for herpes, like yeast and BV. If you got it last summer, an IgG antibody test for both types should be able to tell you which type, if any. Or a swab if you currently have active symptoms.

      Oral herpes is usually on the outside of the mouth, around your lips. Also, canker sores are not herpes, in case that's what you have.
