New Gilrfriend with genital herpes!
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi, my first post. I have met a fanstastic girl and looks like were absolutely compatible. Problem is she has genital herpes and i dont. We havnt slept together yet. But soon?
My question is, is there a way to avoid GH for aguy? Beside using a condom? I dont even know if that will help.
Am i pretty muich resigned to contrcating it if sleep together? Like 100%, no avoiding it?
It would kill me to say goodbye to her over this and it would kill me to contract gnetial herpes. Dont know what to do here....
Please nay advice?
Thanks
Desperate.

As long as she isn't on an outbreak when you guys try ...
what type does she have .. One or two ?

I had symptoms of my first outbreak, the condom broke and my boyfriend still did not contract it. So I think as long as you do the research and understand the minimal risks, you should be fine.

It's awful to see that some men would leave based solely on that - like we're some sort of alien or awful subhuman. It's a shame that it controls relationships in some cases. I hope for your sake that it doesn't end up being that way. Nobody deserves it. If they're smart and they do the research, they won't care that you have it and will stay no matter what.
Just have to educate each other.

*However* the above assumes an established, monogamous, hetero couple with full disclosure, the most relevant in your case being "established". Most infections occur within the first 3 months of a new relationship, plus the longer a person has had it, the better (for a few reasons). Long-time discordant couples may also have some unknown dynamic that keeps them that way, so I wouldn't apply these percentages to everyone or couple.
The stats above apply to HSV-2, so you need to know which HSV type she has and for how long she's had it. Makes a big difference. I can also message you a link to more info, if you'd like.
