I have hsv 2, sacral herpes, with outbreaks maybe 3 times a year.My gyn said since the virus was in the ganglia of the sacral region, I was only contagious if I had an outbreak. Then later she said I could shed a small amount of virus vaginally. So what are my options with a negative partner? Should I take valtrex? What about oral sex?Would my partner be in danger of contacting hsv 2 orally.? How could I proceed while offering maximum protection to my partner?

My gyn said since the virus was in the nerves of the sacral area, I was not contagious unless I had an outbreak. Then she said later, even without an outbreak, I could still shed a small amount of virus vaginally. How can I give my negative partner maximum protection. Should I take valtrex? Is oral sex dangerous? How easy would it be for him to contract it from me? I was married for 40 years. This is the first time I will have a new partner. I have probably had the virus close to 30 years.

I have only hsv 1 orally and found out through a blood test. However, they tested me for everything and said I only have hsv 1 orally. But, recently under my penis there are these really tiny bumps you can barely see. But, when you run the skin hard enough you can feel them. Also, it only appear to be in the one spot and never spreads.

a doctor told me that since I have genital herpes the only way not to spread it is to abstain from sex. is this true? are there no other options? I don't want to spread it but I don't want to remain celibate.

I have had genital herpes for over 30 years. I have had 4 long term girlfriends and had unprotected sex with them. to my knowledge they remained clean. but then I hear that a large percentage of people don't even know that they have it. it goes undetected. so now I am thinking that maybe I passed it along and they don't have any symptoms or maybe they think it just a yeast infection. I am very confused right now.

I was just diagnosed with HSV 1 on the genitals. I had HSV 1 for over twenty years and have had no outbreaks for 10 years since I started taking the anti+ viral medication. First, will my oubreaks be more common like the oral ones were initially and then become dormant? Also, besides condoms what are some other safe practices besides abstinence during an active outbreak?

I also have HPV which is under control. Both skin to skin infections. I would really love to talk to a professional who deals w these particular STDs. I have great medical professionals but their information goes so far. Lastly, the Acyclovir cream is so thick and hard to spread over active sores. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I’ve had hsv1 orally since I can remember, my partner tested positive for Hsv2 10 years ago. My test only show hsv1. She’s had 3 outbreaks in the last ten years a small bump at the top of her butt, me never. Has my hsv1 antibodies lower my test results so I don’t show positive for hsv2 or am I negative?

I’ve never tested positive for hsv2 only hsv1.

I have HSV and HPV and my partner only has HSV how likely is it that I will pass HPV to him if we have unprotected sex?

I have HSV1. I’ve been restricting myself to only potential partners with hsv1. Is it pointless to be hesitant of females with hsv2?

how does it work between say 2 hpv positive people? Can they give eachother different strains? Can they pass it to different areas on eachother or do they kind of cancel eachother out?

I want to do a blood test to find out which type of virus I have. I take Acyclovir daily. Will it disrupt the blood test results? Should I stop taking it for some time before doing this or it doesn't matter?

Hi, I understand the frustration you guys are feeling. I say that because I have had HSV 1 since I can remember and I have tried everything to make them go away as fast as they came, which is why I came up with a proven all natural formula that has worked for me and everyone around me. I do have samples for a small fee. I know some people are going to look at this and swear it’s a scam but I promise you will miss out on this blessing. If I could give it away I most definitely would but the all n

Can you spread Genital herpes to other parts of your body while bathing?

I would like to know if it’s possible to spread genital herpes to other parts of your body while your bathing. Is this possible? I’ve been using a different wash cloth every time I shower. I’m not sure what the risk of spreading it to my other limbs is.
