You know how sucky I feel knowing I have genital herpes? I love reading about spontaneous sex scenes and being raw, open, threesome with no protection because *fantasy*, but knowing I can't have that? It fucking sucks. You can't be with me unprotected. You can't go down on me unprotected, (dental dams, anyone?)

I didn't want this. I never asked for it, and now I have to be okay being by myself forever. No one will willingly be with me, I wouldn't be with me. I don't want to be the butt of the joke, and we used protection, so that fucking sucks, okay?

I love reading smut and the romance side of it, but sometimes it makes me sad. Cause I won't have that and can't have that.

I've literally only slept with 2 people!! One was for 7 years and the other a one night stand! And now I'm fucking cursed

I was told by a doctor that if you have HSV 1, you can still get HSV 2. If you have HSV 2, you can not get / transmit HSV 1. So even if you're having a casual or serious relationship, it's important to know which one you have. And always use protection.

What does a herpes breakout look like on a woman?

Generally there is a few days (1-3)of a "prodrome" where there is itching, burning or tingling in the area, then areas of inflammation build up over 1-4 days with redness and pain, then small blisters form over 2-6 days. Following the blister rupturing they heal up over a week or so. The whole thing generally taking less than 2 weeks.

The universe continues to deliver. I've been with one guy since my divorce. He was nice, an excellent lover, and... gave me herpes. He claims he didn't know he had it. "Had some stuff down there but thought it was just a yeast infection." I am inclined to trust him on this, but I'm super disappointed. This initial outbreak hurts like hell. I have tiny blisters all over my vagina. I have to take opioid painkillers to pee, and even then, the pain only goes down from a 10 to maybe an 8. I had to take a week off work. Apparently, subsequent outbreaks are less painful, but I can't believe I will now be dealing with this periodically for the rest of my life.

Is dating a person with herpes worthwhile?

Put simply, herpes should not be seen as a major obstacle because it isn't. With proper treatment and management, genital herpes should not hinder your ability to date, meet new people, or have a reasonably typical sexual experience. Dating can present challenges when you have herpes. Discovering that you have the virus can significantly impact your self-esteem and your desire to meet new people, despite its high prevalence (approximately two-thirds of all adults have HSV-1, and 11 percent to 20 percent have HSV-2). It is crucial to maintain a positive mindset if you have recently learned that you have herpes or if you are considering dating someone with HSV-1 or HSV-2. By using the appropriate medication, engaging in open communication, and fostering understanding, it is still possible to establish and maintain normal romantic relationships.

So because apparently you can’t get STIs on a bank holiday, I’ve had to wait until today to try and get an appointment for some accclovir and I’m having to travel 40 mins out of my city to a different hospital to get it because system is a joke. Like I know my herpes better than you do, I just need some goddamn tablets ffs

really think the vast amount of evidence we have for common herpes viruses causing a shitload of population morbidity is under investigated and definitely under treated.

to clarify, herpes is a big class of viruses that includes HSV1 (usually cold sores on your mouth), HSV2 (usually sores on your genitals), and herpes zoster (chicken pox!). HSV1 and 2 can infect any tissue and can be spread through casual contact, not just sexual contact. the majority of the human population will contract one or both if they live long enough. many people get HSV1 or 2 at birth or through postnatal contact with parents, family, or visiting adults. just holding or kissing a baby is enough contact to transmit herpes viruses.

so what happens is almost everyone gets these viruses and most people deal with it without catastrophic problems, but the evidence is building up that it may be responsible for a lot of illness that wasn't previously suspected. for example:

Report of a Case A woman aged 33 years presented with a 4-day history of intractable headache, photophobia, nausea, and neck and back discomfort. She had 3 previous hospital admissions for a similar disorder, the first and most severe of which occurred concomitantly with her initial outbreak of genital herpes. Results of her examination were remarkable for a low-grade fever and stiff neck. A contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain yielded normal findings. Results of CSF analysis showed a white blood cell count of 56/μL (90% lymphocytes), a protein level of 66 mg/dL, and a glucose level of 54 mg/dL. Results of PCR were positive for HSV-2. Her symptoms resolved shortly after treatment with intravenous acyclovir, and no further episodes were observed during a suppressive regimen of daily acyclovir in the ensuing 3 years.

that's just a bad migraine. i know dozens of people who have gone to the ER with identical symptoms and were given rescue meds and sent home. the only reason they found anything weird here is the spinal tap and PCR which is not standard procedure for a migraine admission. so who knows how many other chronic migraine sufferers actually have mild encephalitis or meningitis from an HSV infection.

How can I protect my partner from herpes?

If you have herpes, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to your partner.

While there is no foolproof method to completely eliminate the risk, a combination of preventive measures can significantly lower the chances of transmission. Here are some strategies:

Communicate Openly:

Have an honest and open conversation with your partner about your herpes status. Discuss the risks, transmission methods, and ways to protect each other.

Use Condoms:

Consistent and correct use of condoms during sexual activity can reduce the risk of herpes transmission. However, it's important to note that condoms do not provide complete protection, as herpes sores can occur outside the condom-protected areas.

Antiviral Medications:

Taking antiviral medications, such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir, as prescribed by a healthcare professional, can help manage symptoms and reduce the frequency of outbreaks. These medications also lower the risk of transmission.

Avoid Sexual Activity During Outbreaks:

Refrain from sexual activity, including kissing and oral sex, during active outbreaks when sores are present. The risk of transmission is higher when symptoms are visible.

Regular Medical Checkups:

Keep regular appointments with your healthcare provider to manage and monitor your herpes. Discuss any concerns or changes in symptoms.

Educate Your Partner:

Provide information to your partner about herpes, including transmission methods, symptoms, and preventive measures. This can help alleviate concerns and foster understanding.

Regular Testing:

Both you and your partner can undergo regular testing for sexually transmitted infections, including herpes. Knowing each other's status can help in making informed decisions about sexual activity.

Avoid Risky Activities:

Be cautious during sexual activities that could lead to skin-to-skin contact, such as genital-to-genital or oral-to-genital contact, especially when symptoms are present.

Remember that no method is 100% effective, and there is still a small risk of transmission even with precautions.

However, by combining several preventive measures, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of passing the virus to your partner.

my girlfriend and i want to get more intimate with each other but im concerned about possibly contracting an STD/STI. can we contract one of we’re both clean and use no dams? or is protection always the way to go?

STD/STI are acronyms for Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Sexually Transmitted Infections and as with any disease, if you are not exposed to the virus/bacteria that causes it, you cannot transmit it. If you have been tested and have the results come back negative, you do not have the disease and cannot transmit it*.

If you have not been tested but don't experience any symptoms (and has had previous sexual partners), you can still be infected and transfer the disease. It is believed that upwards of 80% of humans are infected with herpes (HSV1 or HSV2) but most don't show any symptoms, called being asymptomatic. Other STIs where it's common to be asymptomatic are chlamydia, HPV/genital warts (only some strains cause warts), and latent syphilis (although you would have noticed syphilis symptoms like rashes before the latent phase, which is a phase that sometimes occurs before the third/final stage of the disease).

If neither of you have had partners before**, or if you have been tested negative 3 months after your last sexual encounter, you don't have an STI.

Furthermore, hand and oral sex on vulvas are considered the safest ways to have sex when it comes to transmission of STIs. Now, I don't know you or your partner's genitals but I'm guessing based on the dental dam comment that it's likely that the sex you'll be having will mainly involve vulvas. While you absolutely can contract an STI in your throat, the amount of vaginal fluid you would have to guzzle to get enough pathogens down to your throat to cause infection is a lot. Semen is a lot more effective at transmitting diseases because, uh, its purpose is to get that shit (spermatozoa) in there, so to speak. It's not risk free, but nothing in life is. This is so low risk that the Swedish organization for sexual and reproductive rights and education (founded in the 30's, leading org for SRHR in the nation) which also produce and sell condoms, at home pregnancy and STI-tests, lube, etc, don't sell dental dams at all. That being said, dams can be fun to play with vis a vis sensation (taut dam vs relaxed dam, for example) and if you want to use one I would never dissuade you from it.

I do wanna bring attention to the usage of the word "clean" to denote that you aren't infected with an STI. It's a common way to phrase it, but it does stigmatize those who have been or are infected with an STI. To say that one is "clean" to mean "not infected" directly implies that to be infected is dirty or unclean, which it is not. This is part of the stigma of contracting and living with an STI, where a moral judgement is cast upon the person. As some STIs are life long, like HIV, herpes, and sometimes hepatitis, the stigma can also be life-long. In the future, I suggest using terms like "not infected" or "tested negative" to avoid this.

-mod liz

*because of incubation time, you have to wait up to three months for some STIs to show up on a test, so if you sleep with a new partner, getting tested the next week may not yield accurate results.

**some STIs are not exclusively sexually transmitted. You can for example contract HIV at birth if your parent was a carrier, hepatitis C can spread through blood, and herpes can infect both mouth and genitals and sharing a glass of water with somebody with oral herpes can transmit it. Unless there's any reason to suspect that you have contracted HIV or hepatitis from somewhere else (like a tattoo or injection needle, or if you mixed your blood with somebody somehow like in an accident) I wouldn't be too worried though.
