What was your first HSV-2 Herpes outbreak like?

Hello, I have have HSV2 and my first outbreak was extremely mild to the point that the doctor wasn't convinced it was. I had one sore on my clitoral hood and went on medication straight away, it lasted about 4 days. Since then I've had 1 outbreak in a different location (more on my labia) and that has taken longer to heal (around 10 days). I have read however that the first outbreak usually appears mild and then they can start to pop up all over the place. It's important to find out what type you have via IGG, if you have GHSV2 then I've read that although the initial outbreak is severe, following outbreaks are extremely mild and some people don't get another one. 5 weeks sounds like a long time though as I think they usually take up to 4 weeks. Although I have mild outbreaks I have bad nerve pain

yes my first outbreak was very mild as well it started off with alot of itching , then one lesion popped up on my inner labia , that lasted a very long time amd didnt really start going away until i took the antiviral medication , but i just have nerve pains alot i have HSV2 as well

I was 17 when i was diagnosed with HSV (I am now 32) i caught it from my boyfriend at the time who had a cold sore on his lip and he gave me oral sex. I had no idea! I was fuming. he had been my boyfriend for 3 years and I'd had no other sexual partners but him. I phoned him shouting and going crazy & dumped him. I could barely walk, going to the toilet was hell on earth. i had to apply instillagel to numb the entire area it took about 3 weeks to clear up it was the worst time of my life. I still get flare - ups , alot depends on my stress levels tbh. The outbreaks i get now are very mild and i can still continue with my daily routines etc I am about to try suppressive therapy to try and control the outbreaks as i feel theyre still too frequent. Although I've had two children, ive still never told any sexual partner, this is the bit i struggle with most and wished i didnt.
