dating a girl with herpes can i prevent myself from catching them?

Answer 1

You should NOT date a girl with Herpes...Herpes is a HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS diseases. It is caught from skin-to-skin contact, kissing, and sex. CONDOMS DO NOT PROTECT YOU FROM HERPES because it is caught from skin-to-skin contact (when your thighs rub together, kissing of the mouth and body, etc). Even when she is Not having an outbreak--you can still catch it.

You are putting yourself at very high risk. Unless you plan on proposing Marriage to her very soon--you need to end this relationship. This is not worth you having this disease for the rest of your life. You should be nice and thank her for being honest with you--but she knows that this is the consequence of her actions from having sex.

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.

With medication her outbreaks will lessen in frequency. However, even when she isn't having an outbreak, she is still shedding the virus. There is no cure. The virus lives in the base of the spinal cord and sheds about once a month, if I remember correctly. It affects the nervous system. When an outbreak does occur it is usually at the end of the same nerve as before.

Check out these websites. Tons of great information.

Hi...So sorrie to hear that your gf has this disease...

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

Genital herpes is a disease caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), of which there are two types. Type 1 (HSV-1) usually causes oral herpes, an infection of the lips and mouth. Symptoms are commonly known as cold sores or fever blisters. In the past, HSV-1 rarely caused genital herpes, but that is changing, especially among people who begin having sex at a young age. Still, in most cases, genital herpes is caused by the second type of herpes virus (HSV-2).

HSV-2 lives in the nerves. When it's active, it travels to the surface of the infected area (skin or mucous membrane) and makes copies of itself. This is called "shedding" because these new viruses can, at this time, rub off on another person. Then the virus travels back down the nerve to a ganglion (mass of nerve tissue), usually at the base of the spine, where it lies dormant for a while.

Who Gets Genital Herpes?
About one-fifth of all people aged 12 and up in the U.S. are infected with the HSV-2 virus that causes genital herpes, but as many as 90% don't know it. (By comparison, experts estimate 50% to 80% of adults have oral herpes.)
More women than men are infected -- one in four women compared with one in five men. One reason may be that the virus can infect a woman's genitals more easily than it can a man's. Genital herpes is more common among blacks than it is among whites, and it becomes more common as people age. The more sex partners people have, the more common it is, too.

How Is Herpes (Oral or Genital) Spread?
HSV-1 is usually passed from person to person by kissing. HSV-1 can also spread from the mouth to the genitals during oral sex (fellatio, cunnilingus, analingus). If this happens, it becomes a case of genital herpes.

HSV-2 is most often passed by vaginal sex and anal sex. But just as HSV-1 can infect the genitals and cause genital herpes, HSV-2 can pass from one person's genitals to another person's mouth, resulting in oral herpes.

HSV-2 cannot survive long on a non-living surface, so there is no real risk of getting it from a toilet seat or hot tub, for example.

How Can Genital Herpes Be Prevented?
Using a latex barrier (a condom or dental dam) during sex may protect you or your partner, but only if it covers the area where the virus is shedding. You should avoid having sex if you or your partner has visible sores on the genitals, and you shouldn't receive oral sex from someone who has a sore on his or her mouth.

It's important to know that HSV can be contagious even when no symptoms are visible.

What to Do if Your Partner Has It...
A partner who has herpes needs your support and acceptance. It took a lot of courage for your partner to tell you, and it means he or she cares about your well-being and values your trust. "No good deed goes unpunished" is often a harsh fact of life. But don't let it be that way in your relationship.
Of course, your feelings and concerns matter, too. If you're uncomfortable with the idea of having sex with your partner again, or becoming sexually intimate for the first time, you're entitled to feel that way.
But instead of declaring the sexual part of your relationship over or out of the question, think of ways you can be intimate without risking infection. You can reduce the risk of becoming infected through sexual intercourse by using condoms and avoiding sex when your partner has symptoms. There will always be some risk, even if you practice safer sex, but you can minimize it as much as possible.
Get Informed About Genital Herpes, and Don't Leap to Conclusions
Educate yourself about genital herpes if your partner has not explained it to your satisfaction. You'll find out that it's not as serious as it may seem, and that people can and do have wonderful relationships with great sex even though one of them has genital herpes.
Sometimes people in long-term relationships suspect that their partner has been cheating when he or she is diagnosed. That's not necessarily true, so don't make that accusation. Your partner could have been infected years or decades before you met.

Also, consider the possibility that you gave your partner herpes. Millions of people live with genital herpes without having a clue that they're infected. In fact, health experts estimate that 90% of those who are infected in the United States don't know it. A herpes infection doesn't always cause obvious sores on the genitals. In many cases, it causes no noticeable symptoms. Health care professionals say that sex partners of people with herpes should be tested.
