Is it herpes?
Posted , 7 users are following.
This is the first time this has happened. I have only been with two men. I was with my husband first from high school. We separated and I met someone new. We had unprotected sex and you know the rest.
My new friend has had a lot more relationships than me. He is still very close to some of his exes. None of them have ever come to him about getting this.
He is going to get tested but could I just be the first girl he's given it to or that has showed symptoms?
I was very nervous since I had not been with anyone for so long. I was shaving daily and I nicked myself in severe of the inflamed areas. I also was using a facial scrub on the area and an exfoliating glove. I know how crazy and painful that all sounds and it was. I realized the night we had sex last I was doing all these things and rubbed myself raw. I had also torn myself during our first night.
I know I probably just gave the virus an easier way in...
I'm still waiting for my swab results.
I'm on two different medications and I received a shot.
Will the swabs say if it is 1 or 2?

if I gave my partner a b*****b while having a cold sore, then we had sex could I have given this to myself??? I just thought about this now. I honestly didn't think it was a cold sore it was the smallest bump. I thought it was a zit. I gave him oral and then the virus would have been on his genitals. Then when we had intercourse it spread the virus back to my vagina?
Is this possible?

trasmission with herpes is very confusing but i dont think e thats a way of transmission but if you did have a cold sore which is type 1 , even though you have genital herpes you might be lucky enough for it to just be type 1 and 2 since 2 is much more critical

This is what mine looks like and the doctor suspects herpes. I am still waiting on the swab results as which she said will be able to tell the type! I have only had sex with one person and otherwise have done other things with very few people, which is incredibly frustrating as I'm sure you can agree. What did your doctor think?

My doctor also thinks it's herpes. I hate that the test takes so long.
It is so frustrating! I'm sorry your going through this too.

It's the absolute worst, I check my patient forum every 2 minutes knowing there is no way I have results yet but it's the only thing on my mind. I am just glad to know I am not alone. When were you swabbed?

Two days ago at a walk in clinic. So I know it's still going to be awhile.
Yes, it's really helped me seeing so many others are on the same journey.

Hey, the swab doesnt tell which type, the blood igg test does and youll have to wait a couple of weeks to months for it to show up in your blood
sorry your going through this and this does look like herpes but stay positive and be strong !
